Time

There's an unexplainable phenomenon up here that anything plugged into an outlet with a clock will inevitably run fast. I set the clock on the stove when we arrived and now almost 2 weeks later it's already ~30minutes fast.

And yet the people up here all operate on "Alaska time"- another phenomenon that unless you call someone every day, it's on a super delay and will get done when they feel it's appropriate to get done not dependent on your sense of urgency.
