Reference :- For every problem , there is a solution .
Much and all as Sky News keeps finding locations where snow is falling , there are places where frozen water is thawing ... quite a lot . One of these is along the Trans- Alaska Oil Pipeline . It seems that thawing permafrost is causing sections of the pipeline to sink , with the risk of rupture .
But there is no need to panic yet . Refrigeration systems have been installed to keep the permafrost frozen beneath the pipeline . That's what's called lateral thinking at it's best .
It reminds me of the time the ute was running out of petrol . We decided to drive as fast as possible so we would get home before the tank ran dry . We held it flat out for miles , but we didn't quite make it . I figure it was only because the ute wouldn't go fast enough .
Ken junior is reading this as I tap away on the Remington .
And he is rolling his eyes for some reason . What's the matter with kids these days ?
Your comrade , Ken
