Trees don't explode; they just fall on buildings. Roof avalanches are most definitely not amusing. Haven't ever been hit in the head with an icicle, have we Ben? And the concept of a "thermostat" is most definitely not Alaskan, as I've never encountered one that did anything worth anything in the summer.
You've never been to a desert, have you? They don't have A/C in Alaska, but when you get to areas where the locals consider them necessary (that is, the lower 48, with the exception of some of the mountain regions), they work very well. Especially in places like Arizona, where it's darned hard to find a good heater. :-3
And for what it's worth, trees do explode. At somewhere below 55 below, if I remember correctly, the temperature differential between the sap and the outside of the bark becomes so great they break open with a loud crack, sometimes killing the tree. :-3
Yay for Alaskan Jari-cat! It's good to hear from you! Hopefully your luggage will arrive safely and you'll have a great summer working up there. I may give you a call one o' these days (if I can manage to remember to do something besides sleep, eat, and wrangle snakes and lynxes at work :P).
*purrrrrs and hugglies warmly* It's been great up here so far, if a mite lonely without a wonnerful dragon to keep me company.... *snugs* Have fun wrangling lynxies...I'll let you know if I see any up here! Maybe Princess'd hire you as the official lynx wrangler if you asked... :-3
