Since I was just watching Lost in Translation over the weekend...that French description sure seems to say a lot more than the English...

I always chuckle driving through the Yukon and British Columbia and seeing the signs in English and French and the French part is just like that label, 3 times as long

Plus outside of a few people in Vancouver you don’t hear French in western or northwestern Canada

That sounds like you've driven from Alaska to the lower 48--you Alaskans are a hardy bunch, the one time I drove from NJ to FL and back I said I'd never do that again, and that was only 1000 or 1200 miles.

EDIT--oh, or it could be you drove from down here to up there--to get away from us.

I’ve honestly lost count of the number of times we have driven the Alcan Highway in the last 35 years

When we first came up in early May of 1989 it was still mostly gravel and pretty brutal

We were traveling on military orders and it was several weeks before tourist season, so many of the cafes and hotels weren’t even open yet so instead of the 300-350 miles a day they expected you to travel we did some 600-700 mile days just to find accommodations

You carried at least 2 spare tires, 2 jugs of gas, and you were guaranteed to get a cracked windshield and headlights

That’s when people proudly displayed their “I survived the Alcan Highway” bumper stickers because it really meant something

Plus we have been back and forth to the Seattle area on the Alaska ferry a number of times

Oh, I keep forgetting you went up there in the service. Air Force?

Nope, it was the wife, not me

She was a commissioned officer in the US Public Health Service

Their commanding officer is the Surgeon General

They aren’t technically military but they are one of the 8 uniformed services with the same ranks, pay, etc with the exception that there are only officers, no enlisted or NCOs

She did 25 years and retired as a Captain

They wear Navy uniforms and use Navy rank, so she is the equivalent of a full Colonel

Few people know about it and over the years it’s just been simpler to say military

Ah, a full-bird colonel, no wonder she's "the boss". Thanks for the education.

Still waiting. Departed Salt Lake City yesterday and still showing delivery for today. Don't think that'll happen.
