Fly away!
I hate reality tv. I really, really hate it. But, the History Channel has a show, Ice Road Truckers, and it's real people at their real jobs - nothing staged, or faked, or anything like that.
It's about the Dalton in Alaska - a treacherous 500 mile road to the oil fields in Prudhoe Bay. And the 70 mile ice road - literally ice, it's a frozen river - to a town. And a town that can only be accessed 30 days out of the year when that river is frozen enough to be crossed by the big trucks. Coupled with temperatures as cold as -90F, avalanches, "blows" (storms).
I don't know. It's just real. And a look at another side of life.
