This show delivers for me. The pure harshness of the frigid North pitted against the blessed functionality of the cab heater is the most delicious tension that beats out the others. The other contrived frictions and dillemas of the gig, including the dreaded cracking lake ice, are a distant competitor to the miracle of cruising comfortably in a climate resembling a distant planet. But said dilemmas do provide for some interesting conversations up in that silent void. And the time I got to spend hearing Alex and Lisa explain themselves and their occupations to me is a time I felt at the feet of wonderous and beautiful adventurers.
