Me too.
I for one need to show more of each.
Well I live in Fairbanks AK and even that city everybody know everybody but I live in early 1990s where Fairbanks really growing into tourist trap LOL!
If you come, be sure to bring sweatshirts and warm pants. "Summer" this year was a cruel trick, with temps only in the 50s and 60s. 3 70-degree days made it even more bittersweet. The leaves are falling, the trees are changing colors, but you will always be welcome.
“Good heavens. This from Time Magazine? A great story. A must read. More good sense than two or three of the posters here in the forum.

“I don’t approve of what Obama said a few months ago, but I have to give him the thumbs up for his response to Bristol Palin’s pregnancy...”
Oh please...I hope you don’t think he really means it do you? Just look at what he did with Jack Ryan, his ex, and their son.
