You want fries with that?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and announce the arrival of spring here in Big Lake. Alaska. Temperature is staying well above freezing, the sun is shining more and more, the snow is gone, and the motor homes have hit the roads. Just took a little longer than normal for it to get here.

Speaking of roads, another sign of winter's end is the road construction getting underway. From what I've seen so far, looks like the Parks Highway is getting patched up in several places near here. Since it is the only north south road in the entire state, it stays busy all summer. Hope the construction doesn't lead to too much congestion.

One more jab at winter. It is easy to pack on a few extra pounds during the six months of cold. Too much food and not enough activity and BAM your pants shrink. I know of what I speak. Anyway, last few weeks I've been watching the eats and working out and generally staying active. Looks like I will not need to purchase a new wardrobe just yet. But yes, I do want fries with that. And pizza, and oatmeal cookies, and bacon, pancakes, and BREAD!
