The talking heads are warning is about natural gas shortages in Alaska this winter. It may just be grift and voter manipulation, but my woodshed is stocked and I have a couple of years worth of wood on deck anyway. Bring it on.
I got to watch a demo of aerial refuelng of a helicopter at the big air show yesterday. That's pretty badass, considering the operating speed differences between the two aircraft. I have no doubt that will come in handy in Alaskan search and rescue.
