Sci Fi Story

Well the sun is up again, and I'm begining to wish it was down. Now the sun is reflecting off the white snow and ice. It sits low on the horizon and is in your eyes when you drive in any direction except south.

I did a quick job over on a workover. We helped fix a well that was not producing as much as it should. We milked the job for a couple of days rigging up for what will be my home for the next couple of months when I am working up here. I'm back in Deadhorse for a couple of days now, and just noticed how many times I wrote 'couple'. I think there were a couple too many couples. Oh well some facts about where I work.
