I have a friend in Anchorage Alaska who was always trying to convince me to move there. He constantly reminded me that the average winter temperature in Chicago is often lower than Anchorage. Jerk :)
I worked with the same construction crew 3 times, they had it a lot rougher than I did. I took over when they were done and hired and trained the front desk, housekeeping and laundry staff. I have a real appreciation for people that live like that, it's a different lifestyle for sure. Even very enjoyable for some I'd imagine. Thanks.
