Today's Low: -4 Degrees Farhenheit

Yesterday, Ganperuv's nephew moved his ger to another side of town for work, so John and I went over to help them out. It was a really interesting experience. I've seen gers from the inside, and gers from the outside, but I have never seen all the layers. Countless layers of felt surround lattice-like wood and blankets. It was around ten degrees that morning though, so things were pretty cold. Taking apart the ger was interesting, but watching them cram it into a truck and transport it was even better. The ger was up on a hill, and the road coming up it wasn't really a road at all. There was some gravel, but mostly just dirt. Over the years, many deep pot holes have developed and it's quite the bumpy ride. Well, they loaded up the truck very high and made it just about as top heavy as possible. Then, they drove it down the hill. The pot hole were so deep that the truck would have just flat out tipped over if they didn't do something about it. So what did they do? They tied ropes to the top and had four guys pulling it to the opposite side that it tipped. OSHA would have been flipping out. It was great.
