Thanks for sharing.<br />I would only add (and maybe O'Reilly was hinting at this) except for Anchorage and its immediate surroundings, you are so damn far from any center of government that an Alaskan MUST be independent minded and willing to help his neighbor as he hopes they will help him. There's no running down to the local big box store for that one item you may need to make repairs or fill the fridge for the weekend. You're going to have to make do or do without.<br /><br />That said...If you could figure a way to save some of that June sunshine for December....;-)<br /><br />Until then I'll at least have 2010...until my next visit.joatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415726428637484056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860897900615196454.post-56319245430608522442013-08-20T13:57:08.463-08:002013-08-20T13:57:08.463-08:00I hear you, threecollie.

You'll get disagreement only in Anchorage, which tends to attract a lot of transplants from the Left Coast. <br /><br />Away from Anchorage, though, it's much as he describes.Rev.
