I always figured you turn off the wipers before the car because it's irritating when they start wiping as soon as you turn on the car again (especially if it's no longer raining ... scraaaaaape) How hard is it to turn them off and on, anyway? My next-door neighbor parks his car with the wipers lifted up off the windshield on cold/snowy nights, which is something I'd never seen before.

Mostly, though, I just wanted to say that I'm finding your chronicles of life in the frigid wasteland fascinating. I see those shipping containers all the time (freight rail runs by my house) but would never have thought of them being used as building units.

--ich sage nicht, was ich will, sondern was die Sprache will--

Glad you're finding them interesting (3.00/0) (#2)

This is my first trip this far north - I've been here a grand total of two weeks now. My other half had been bugging me for descriptions, so I figured I'd share them with anybody who wanted to read :-)

I've started on the next one already, but with 12-hour shifts, there's not a lot of time to myself here. Hopefully I'll get it out in less than a week...
