Well, it&rsquo;s come early to Alaska according to <a title="Caran tràth airson leithid de shealladh " href="http://gaidheal.blogspot.com/2008/08/caran-trth-airson-leithid-de-shealladh.html">An Gaidheal Alascanach</a> (The Alaskan Gael). Translation is:</p> <p>A little early for this type of view</p> <p>We&rsquo;ve had a real humdinger of a storm. Loads and loads of water and there was no sign of the mountains behind the town until yesterday when the clouds cleared a bit and this was the view opened to us</p> http://stravaiger.com/blog/2008/06/08/some-gear-thoughts-and-a-gaelic-mountain-video-and-some-latin/ Sun, 08 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0000 http://stravaiger.com/blog/2008/06/08/some-gear-thoughts-and-a-gaelic-mountain-video-and-some-latin/ <p>Still not sure what to make of the interest in the <a title="On the interconnectedness of information" href="http://stravaiger.com/blog/2008/06/06/on-the-interconnectedness-of-information">last post</a> I did (I had no idea so many people read this paltry pile of pontificating prose, i.e. my blog!). I think I&rsquo;m a bit intimidated now, to report on my new JetBoil! I was thinking of perhaps writing about it before I forgot what make it was (I have no idea what my old stove is) and I&rsquo;m having real trouble finding a partner for my 12 year old Karrimor base layer, which I wear in the summer and which I&rsquo;ve no intention of chucking out. What&rsquo;s the story with all that plasticky stuff everything seems to be made of now?</p>
