There are a couple of places in Alaska that are way out in remote areas and are basically impossible to get to. One diamond mine in particular.
Except during winter when the lakes freeze. Then there's a road that opens up that's practically a straight line to the mine, and you can truck in all the heavy equipment, drilling and mining rigs, and supplies the mine needs.
By driving over the frozen lakes.
It's one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.
I frequently sit in my cubicle at work, contemplating my normal work world and my average life of "pay the rent/utilities/etc" world and then being amazed that there are thousands of people out there who live a life radically different from mine. IE, folks who drive those ice trucks etc.
Watching that Bobby Flay challenge show - he's going up against Mark Israel, chef/owner from the Donut Factory in New York. The guy's donuts may be good, but he's coming off as a real asshole. Get over yourself, dude.
I saw that one, brenda. He's kind of psychotic, in fact.
askye, I taped the late night repeat and watched this morning. I am so glad that I did that: the date that they showed the woman with her list on was painful to watch. I was very happy to be able to ff through it!
I'm watching the first (I think) episode of Ice Road Truckers right now. I'm agog. They're driving immensely heavy huge trucks over frozen lakes!
I must be really bored with my life right now, because I'm thinking, I would totally do this job! In a heartbeat!
Next Food Star - they are on Fort Dix and JAG says something like "this is bring up a lot of feelings for me about when I was enlisted". Probably feelings about how you LIED about your service.
Although cool for making a new MRE.
And during the title sequence there's no Sandra Lee. I find that amusing.
You know, I'm liking these Top Chef style challenges, but I miss the TV bootcamp feel of last season. Almost everything was in front of cameras, really practical stuff about hosting a TV show.

Seriously? Was this mentioned on the show or is there a link? I haven't watched tonight's episode yet.
