I know different strokes for everybody and that's fine. I just don't fault anybody who wants to save their family or improve their lives from where it's going in the lower 48.
Couldn't imagine losing all the freedom & happiness I have here in rural Alaska and living down there ever again. Just personal choices. In fact I'd rather be living in a tent along the Yukon than ever seeing the lower 48 ever again.
That reminded me of something my dad used to say,
"Don't be such a stranger."
