Reindeer and a Car


As we walked home from school this afternoon, we were quite surprised to see a reindeer in the back of someones truck. In fact I believe my exact words were "oh shit, that's a reindeer" The school is building a vo-tech building right next to the school. One of the construction workers had a reindeer tethered to the bed of his truck. It was just standing there, eating. It was very odd.

We bought a car (truck)! A kid here in town is going to the U of A Fairbanks in a few weeks and isn't bringing his truck with him. It will be wonderful not to have to borrow the schools van anymore. Andrew put 5 gallons of gas in it, and it cost $30. Ouch. Good news is that you can't drive too far.

I am having problems adding pictures and will try again later.
Current temp: 52

I've seen heifers, sheep,and dogs in the back of a pickup...but you get the prize. Glad that you were there to take pictures. Tonight Grandpa's handyman, Ron Pettersen, has his grandson (from Anoka) wrestling in the Olympics...the Greco style. Hope all goes well.
