Visiting Students

There is a new face in Runamuk this week.

It is hard to overstate the importance of new people up here. After a while, everyone knows your stories, best punchlines, stupid animal tricks, and so forth. A new person means a new audience.

I met the Monday flight in with a spare parka in hand. A student was flying in for a stint at the "Institute of Higher Learning" (or the IHL). I'm note certain what the "Dane" will be studying, but my first guess would the ever popular receding ice pack. A topic, which like the hairline, grows in importance with each year.

Bjork will be working with "Wild Billy" Hopkins, a fellow southerner who came north because there were too many people down there.

Anyway, the kid is getting settled in, and I have to review my pet flea tricks.

Later, Mushers!
