5. I've lived in Alaska for 35 years,

and I wouldn't live anywhere else in the US. The mosquitos know me now and never bother me.

I really liked the sun being out all the time though. That was COOL!

10. Did Sarah say THAT??

Honestly, about the mosquitos, at least here in Anchorage, they come out bad for about two weeks in June, but after that, they're tolerable.

[uppityperson]

14. Did she seriously say that? Well, actually there is. It is just frozen, standing around, waiting to

thaw

20. Humor Alert.

I go fishing at Lake Creek every August for the last 20 years. Sometimes go to Denali. I know a little bit about the state.

21. humor alert

I lived in AK for yrs, SE, Interior, bush, town, city. I know a little bit about the state. Thought you were referencing palin. And continuing the joke about standing water, but being stiff standing water.
