" I figured it would become national news. More can be seen at: <http://www.ktuu.com> as well as other Alaskana. Fur Rendezvous week is now in session. This time of year was picked in part to let off some steam, to relieve some of that cabin fever, the local name for SAD, before "break-up" occurs, in Spring. When I came here in 1976 the streets froze over in early September and didn't thaw until break-up in April. Break-up used to be roughly a two week event of slushy streets and potholes in the ice. Now it seems to happen off and on all winter long. Regards, Horace Heffner
