Hi,
A pile of us went to a BQ hosted by the Alaska Power and Telephone Co. and the Tok EMS service. As soon as we arrived both Annie, May and Livy got put into the "victim" mode, covered in fake blood and stuck into crumpled up vehicles. It was all part of a life demo for rescue. The girls said that it was pretty scary since they were all crumpled up inside the vehicles (hope it never happens for real!!) and the EMS personnel had to cut them out with the Jaw of Life which are very powerful and noisy pneumatic cutters. Glass and metal was flying everywhere so the girls were protected by tarps. Still...they said it was rather unnerving and they were hoping that they wld not get nicked...
Fortunately all went well and everybody "survived" the ordeal, and were later whisked away in the ambulances.
There was food, prizes and demos, cake and ice cream for all...we sure pay the power people enough, but it must have cost them a packet nevertheless.
Pat decided to drive us in so that was nice since I was tired from having taken May into Delta the day before and not getting to bed early enough.
I will be posting some video and snaps soon..
Cloud cover but still fire hazard. Have not heard from PatLOU...
Oh! Before I forget, Koffi from W Africa has come for 15 days. He is a very enterprising and well educated young man with a number of degrees and languages. He wanted to visit Alaska and have an Alaskan experience, so I hope he will...
later...
