Even the drive to work is great. Just looking at the scenery as you drive is just, well, wonderful.

Never mind then... was misinformed.

I guess one of the best things about alaska is simply the "acceptance".
You can "just be you" and nobody thinks any worse of you...unless "just being you" affects them....(fill in the blanks here).
This is a very diverse state and being a good neighbor and friend is more important. Your race, religion or wealth status is not.

First thing that comes to mind is the scenery...we're by the ocean, beautiful snow-covered mountains, wildlife... Oh and the lack of noise !! The highway noise in the lower-48, traffic jams, air pollution, crime, etc. Do no miss it at all.

So you think wolves are fluffy like dogs? Would you be stupid enough to go & pet a wolf?

By the way...do you like her spending your tax dollars for wolf bountys and her own personal wardrobe?
I would rather have her in charge of bounty hunting than this guy

Maybe the next time you see a child rapist on the news you can laugh at that story as well.
I go aerial hunting all the time. Everytime I go flying I either kill bugs, or snow snakes. I dont lose any sleep over it
