ugly is only skindeep tho, my friends...and ugly makes for a friendly smile too...how can we lose eh?

a couple of "alaska" things:
following bama's & uncle_punk's advice, i didn't tune my radio looking for what i wanted to hear, but rather found the strongest signal and stuck with it...you know, soak up the local color. i have been enjoying THE most astounding mix of broadcast music EVER, impossible to describe except "only in alaska"...mayhaps van will explain why's that...my tuner shows 102.8 don't know the call letters they rarely interrupt.

the sunlight might be rare, but there's a whole lotta daylight in alaska ubetcha. no way i'm able to tell time by what the sky looks like...it seems like late afternoon for hours and then there's about 5 hours of twilight...it never gets blackdark.

That would be KINY......bout as local as you can get.

June 20th was the longest day of the year......that explains the looooooong afternoons. :geek: Now if you are here in 6 months or so you will learn about blackdark. :sick: Light from about 9 am to 3:30 PM. Rest of the time is spent huddled around the nearest light source. Complexion looks like the inside of a dead fish. Personally I get lost going to the bathroom, much less find the middle tree. (private joke) :giggle:
 
yeah i'm not gonna miss that middle tree one bit ;)

this is different & that's all i know about it...

That's a WHOLE LOT of skis!

As for the ugly club, I joined it when I was 8 years old, when my great-aunt met me for the first time and her very first words were, "Who's been whacking you with an ugly stick?"

My Mom was un-amused. I just laughed and told her to look at her brother (my g'father) whom I was the spitting image of.
 
look who's also in town!

and they are moving into the same park as i am...i briefly introduced myself but didn't wanna interrupt their breakfast...we'll get us some pics and stories after we botth are settled...

what a freakin amazing adventure...guys, i am so happy to have you all to share this with :cool:
