You live in Alaska? I am automatically jealous. I have never seen a picture of Alaska that was less than breathtaking. Are you close at all to any of the Alaska FReepers? (I bet that's kind of like asking a random California FReeper if he knows Doug From Upland.)
And you're correct, both about the quality of food at home and the work ethic of the waitresses. ;)
(Yo Doug, courtesy ping since I just made an example of you.)
Yes, I'm an Alaskan bush bunny, and that term took on new meaning during this last presidential election. LOL The only Alaskan FReeper I've chatted with is from Anchorage, and that is a 6-8 hour drive from here depending on the weather and road conditions. We're eastern Interior. Wait, actually I think a year or two ago there was a FReeper who lives even farther north than us.
Yes, Alaska is breathtaking, and even THAT seems like an understatement. We enjoy and never take for granted our surroundings and our lifestyle. You'll just have to put a trip to Alaska on your list of things to do. :)
Okay.
