I wish I had used my fencing terms in mine, but I was afraid that readers wouldn't understand what I meant so I chickened out. <br /><br />The Bunny Boots are cool! and I knew about Block heaters. My dad lived in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska for two weeks at a time off and on for 5 years. He would come home (he was off for two weeks), and wear normal clothes, and then he would head up there, and change immediately into super warm clothes. I went to visit him at work a few times, and it seems like we just hustled into the "base" of operations because I didn't have the right gear to be outside, even in the "spring."Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-12720275595601888682013-04-02T14:50:40.328-07:002013-04-02T14:50:40.328-07:00Well, we have winter in Romania and sometimes is v...Well, we have winter in Romania and sometimes is very cold but...
