I see we both went to the same thought upon reading the headline. I can’t stand to watch the Alaska State Troopers show and the railroad show is not far behind.

For Alaska, I think the weather provides a “culling effect”. And wouldn’t Hawaii be farther from DC than the inhabited portion of Alaska?

Are all Wyoming natives as bigoted & ignorant as you are? Alabama & Florida have the most beautiful beaches in the US. Wyoming has....nothing.
