Soemething to ponder:
The average price of milk in Seattle is $3.58 according to a recent news article on rising food costs. With all the "added transportation costs" the price for a gallon of milk at Fred Meyer in Fairbanks is $3.50 a gallon. Today the cost of gasoline is $3.75 in Seattle. Factor in the .20 cents more state tax in WA and we are paying 80 cents more per gallon.
I guess it is cheaper to transport liquids in individual 1 gallon containers than in 30,000 gallon tankers.

Voted early today at the State building and can guarantee you that no incumbents were voted for. I hope Stevens goes down like Murkowski did in the primaries. If we reelect him we will be the laughing stock of the nation.

Is mac serious?
From the DNR woodcutting guide:
Cache Creek (about 9 mile Murphy Dome off Goldstream) Road is in good shape. Watch for
logging trucks. No firewood cutting from 0-7.5 mile (private and borough land). 7.5 mile to end
cut any dead or down spruce or any birch along road. Watch for private sales (keep out). Left at
7.5 mile may still be some decks of spruce, about 2 mile on right hand side of road.

The DNR needs to set up a sting operation the weekend after Thanksgiving to catch all the tree poachers in this town.

Next the borough is going to start taxing the value of our wood piles. Ten cords at the going rate of $250 will add $2,500 to my property tax assessment.

I built a 10x12 insulted shed for my Greenwood boiler. I get the high-efficiency of the indoor boiler and the convenience and safety of having it away from the house. With an efficiency of 85% I can heat my entire house and all my hot water with 7 cords of wood per winter and save 1,000 gallon of heating oil. I could have bought an outdoor model and would be using 14 cords per winter.

Catch me if you can....
I don't think that we are going to have a shortage of trees in this borough anytime soon. Maybe the borough needs to start a PR campaign to stop the innocent killing of all these trees. I thought I lived in Alaska, not California.

The good news is that heating oil has dropped faster than gasoline with the average price for 500 gallons below $4 now. There are current prices at www.fairbanksgas.com
Here is something to ponder. According to a Seattle newspaper, the average cost of milk in Seattle is $3.56 a gallon. I just bought two gallons at Fred Meyer for $3.50 each and they came from Washington. Please explain to me why it costs more to bring in a bulk shipment of gasoline than it does for milk.

With a 100% increase in demand the State and borough have done nothing to increase the supply. We have million of square miles of forests, yet we are making criminals out of those who want to keep their family warm this winter. Several years ago the town was threatened by forest fires because there were no adequate fire breaks. Let's be proactive and allow use of our resources rather then let the trillions of BTU's be consumed by fires.
