This never happens in June
Posted by TFG on January 13th, 2013
It doesn’t happen on the day in January when it’s 75° and sunny. It happens on the day that temps are in a nosedive and the wind is shifting to the north and cranking up to Gusty and there’s 15 minutes of daylight left and the Home Depot is 30 minutes there and back.
As a lifelong trained survivalist, I could make it overnight with no water. It would mean no shower and no church today, but it would be a piece of cake. But who wants to do that? Thankfully, Harvier was around for the muscle work.
How do they manage plumbing in Alaska, I wonder?

Below grade pipe runs in permafrost have about 10 to 12 inches of insulation. Most Army and Air Force installations had above ground water, steam and sewage runs; pump stations kept water and sewage moving to keep from freezing. But plumbing is a nightmare in Alaska. In Texas, we think about it only when it doesn’t work.
