Favorite Alaskan village names:
  1. Unalakleet
  2. Anuktuvuk
  3. Eggegik



Must add here, Yakutak INTERNATIONAL Airport, which has a flight to Whitehorse Canada, thereby making it "international"...and TOK, which had been Tokyo until WWII and then they just dropped the "yo" and my other fav, "Naknuk"...your nasty memories mirror mind. I'll just add that my zero 'F freezer was much warmer than the outdoors so really going INTO the freezer sometimes just warmed me up....
Nasty memories of Alaska:
  1. the insidious cold..will never forget how quickly you lose sensation in your fingers
  2. trying an 'Eskimo ear pull' and losing (OUCH)
  3. muktuk
  4. Eskimo version of ice cream (lingonberries and seal lard)
  5. driving 3-5 hours to arrive where you want to get to in time to have enough sunlight to see what you want to see when you get there
  6. the hospital menu: fish, fish, fish, fish
  7. Chilkoot Charlies..somebody got busted up there every night

I did stand up comedy at Club Detour where someone got stabbed, but NOT during my show...

Makes me appreciate having normal air to breathe (infants could NOT go out in the winter b/c it was literally too cold for their lungs...wth?)

But in case Jack3 gets upset...Jack3, I would not trade those Alaskan memories for anything, except for h's mlc, I mean.
