Another question: Is May a good time of the year to visit? As opposed to June, August? Anything more exciting depending on time of year? :-)

vp thats the cruise we took we went the first week of sept. the weather was great considering we left 97 degrees we had jackets
it was cold while we were in glacier bay we were on our balcony on the 9th deck and had hats and gloves on.

here are a couple pictures to inspire you

looking back from the glacier out of the bay


Sweden an me singing "climb every mountain" up on the exit glacier in Seward. It was very windy and about 55 degrees the great thing is there in no humidity !!!! so it does not feel as cold as 55 in fla

Complete and utter disregard for safety and law I see! Shame on you two!

No need for kudos. I just want the bs to stop. He's not gone anywhere.

I went on the cruise to Tracy Arm in July 2006....and it was so clear out. July 2007..cloudy. Here are the 2006 pics of the sunny day!

I'm getting seasick from seeing too much. I've never been on a cruise. Been on a ferry from Seattle to the other side, forgot the name of the place.

Okay, then. Don't listen to Rance. Definitely don't listen to me, half the time I don't even know what I'm thinking (god sacrificed creativity for common sense when she made me). Listen to all the other regulars on this forum who are tired of your condescending attitude, cuz' trust me, that's exactly what most of them are just too polite to say.
Honestly, you're like a PC- so many great ideas and potential, but what a poor user interface. And don't even get me started on the blue screens of death...

Which counter acts your so called intelligence level. So basically your just another a$$hole with nothing better to do than come to a message board and bash people like your some kind of better than them. And this morning...I've had just about all I can stand of your holier than thou bull****. If you don't like the way people talk here...voluntarily take a leave of absence...or be forced to take one. Keep your flaming remarks to yourself or take a hike. Today is the last day you will damage this forum. Your more of an embarrassment than any kind of assistant to this Ak forum.

The point was the - 'not' - in the phrasing.......

The contention I mentioned in the previous posts in the thread is high turnover in Bethel.

Xa'at said probably not, but then went on to talk about her idea that it was 'high turnover'.

Convention will show that one usually does not say 'not', but then explain that by agreeing.

In a conventional sense, that's a bit illogical...

Of course, I only mentioned the paradoxical nature of that...

.....where you choose to take that doesn't have anything to do with what I was commenting on.

So was the photographer taking their friends picture or gathering evidence?

I recall a photo of one of the subjects standing on the pipeline with a similar sign posted.

From what I understand of the Terms of Service, personal bashing is not to be tolerated, such posts will be removed and infractions issued.

I would typify your quote above as violating the Terms of Service.
