guess what? was born and raised here in alaska..have spent 34 years here, and 10 years in calif, nevada..no heat in igloo just a old toothless eskimo lady to keep me above freezing..your right its a great place to visit but you dont want to live here..but then theres that 25.000 dollars that it looks like we are all going to get possibly next year instead of our yearly permanant fund check...richard
