Its been pointed out to me by several Alaskans & former Alaskans that the denizens of the state only want you to think they’re rugged independent individualists. Thats just for the reality TV shows. They’re really quite content with being on the dole. That's true. Also, when I was there, I noticed that alcoholism is a huge problem. Many people are on the dole, and drunk.
Every place has its problems, and people are sinners all over. But I think the Alaska of 40 or 50 years ago is what many people think Alaska is like now. It isn't.

No place, except perhaps the middle east really is.

Speaking of Alaska, I always get a kick out of this photo with the ice machine out front.
Yes, apparently it IS possible to sell ice to the Eskimos!
