We have McDonalds, but i think they have lower standards for food then down in the lower 48.

HA! McD's HAS no food standards.

i always thought of alaska as a collection of small towns plus nome and anchorage and stuff with snow for three seasons

Tazmania is famous the world over For the "Savages" that live there and the Tazmanian devil?


I'd rather have Alaska then half a dozen of the midwestern states

I'll just say it clearly with lots of anger in my three words: I RESENT THAT.

One Dairy Queen!
I saw a pic of bigger halibut when I was in Homer, it weighed around 1,000 pounds.
Lots of big pretty mountains with snow on them year round and funny little bumps like the Butte.

About the dairy queen, you could be right! I have only seen 1 that i can remember.

There are pics of bigger halibut, that was the first pic i saw on google so i posted it.

The mountains here dont have snow on them all the time, but McKinley probably does.

and funny little bumps like the Butte.

And hell yeah, the Butte rocks!!

why is the motto for alaska "north to the future"

[AK_iceman]

why is the motto for alaska "north to the future"

I have never heard that. But I would assume its because we have enough oil to support the U.S. for 10 years.

What are stonesheep?
How much does a can of pop cost?
How do you wash your clothes in the middle of nowhere?

[AK_iceman]

What are stonesheep?

Never heard of it.

How much does a can of pop cost?

75 cents from the machine.

How do you wash your clothes in the middle of nowhere?

I have never had to, but i would assume you would heat up some water over a fire, then add soap.

We have McDonalds, but i think they have lower standards for food then down in the lower 48.

example?

Ummm... thats pretty clear already. But if you come to alaska do not eat at McDonalds because the food tastes like shit. It tastes better in the lower 48 than it does up here.

you sure?

[happysadfun]

if it broke away, would it be independent? part of canada? russia? how about denmark???!
better not do anything contentious though, coz bush'll invade... it won't be anything to do with the oil, though, oh no...

You english know nothing about bush. mind your own business with your queen and whoever the heck your prime minister is. alaska is cool. i like alaska. but if they broke away they would probably join with some other country because they don't have the population to support a country. and a war would badly stop the current growth pattern.

Alaska... salmon fishing, the whale migration. moose & carabou bear. open wilderness. clean cities/towns. nice people. 6 months sun/ no sun.

some areas frozen solid. some not. snow.

[Knight of Orient]

niiiiiiice, that was cool

really though, how difficult or not difficult is living in alaska?

[strike wolf]

Heres something I heard while I was up there. Is it true that a popular joke up there when people ask you a yes or no question that many of the locals will say, "I don't know? Juno?"

For example: "Is it true that Mt. McKinly is the tallest mountain in north america?" Local: "I don't know? Juno?"

[AK_iceman]

Never heard that joke before. But i assume they are talking about the capital city, Juneau.
