wood stoves

i am being a stereotype. i don't know how to chop wood. i don't really know how to start a fire in the wood stove. and, quite frankly, i'm kind of content to just have greg do it.

what??!!! that is terrible. i can hardly believe myself. if i lived in the alaska bush, i would be a threat to myself.


but i live in juneau.* and it is oh so true.


let the record show: i organize a mean file cabinet. and i fancy myself good company (especially when i'm not in grad school:))

(p.s. check out the funny "Dugan-Skinner" thing in the background. three cheers for my cousin kathy for getting the names right!)

*an interesting note on the "Alaska bush." the term technically means towns that are not on the road system. well, juneau isn't on the road system. we have about 20 miles of road up & down the gastineau channel. and you can't drive here. but we aren't the bush. the definition of "Alaska bush" must also include something about population, but no one comes out & says that!

You are hilarious. I am assuming that means your form of heat in the winter is a wood stove?
