Gotta leave the family in FLA still schools out in June :( thanx, bill tshirt front "born to die before I get old" thshirt back "fscked another one didnja?"

Post #17,632 by boxley 11/9/01 11:11:42 PM Reply	not so much as jobless very soon Valdez is 220 miles from my house in Anchorage which means either moving there, or just going home on weekends and having a country place so the family could join me for the summer. What is nice about Valdez it is a town 100 miles from the next town nestled at the foot of the Elias Range on a long fiord. After work a 15 minute drive puts you in world class skiing, white wate rafting, fishing streams and hunting. The xtreme skiing finals took place ther many times an Moe Green Olympic skier is from there. It also is the terminus for the alaska pipeline, accross the bay. thanx, bill tshirt front "born to die before I get old" thshirt back "fscked another one didnja?"

But, definately not a commute. You know what I heard up there? "Nice thing about Anchorage is that it is only 15 minutes away from Alaska!" But then what do you expect from folks that hunt and eat the state bird? The state bird is the Willow Ptarmigan. Well, OK, it is a small (15-17 inches), arctic grouse.

I guess it'd be cheaper than most anything else airborne, but at 90ish mph? a tad long commute, if it's really 220. Be like a cycle for exposure. I almost tried the Benson Gyrocopter thingie.. but subsequent stats suggest that - that would have been umm Risky. I couldn't have landed where I'd need to land, so probably that's why I'm stll here. Will light candle: maybe they'll get hungrier and find you a free GTO with snow tires (or tracks?) too.. Cheers, Brrr A. PS - some friends were in Anchorage for the Big quake. It's prolly safe now.

Nothin' like Alaska to get away from the rest of Civ - and knowing how little fun it is to be in the presence of Civ these days...
