always wanted to go to alaska. even thought about living there.
my stepbrother lived up there for a summer and was a free lance photographer for nat.geo.
this was early 80's. i remember him telling us that a gallon of milk was almost 5$.
a marine buddy was from there and was trying to talk me to moving there, i lost touch with him
for a couple years, he came to to visit a few us, and he was really messed up.
he worked for an oil refinery, and fell into one of those huge vats, and cut his face almost sliced off.
almost lost his arm and leg. i guess the churns on the bottom are razor sharp and huge.
he almost lost his life.
he got a shit ton of money from the company, and said he was going to pay for me and the girls to move up there.
that was a life time ago. but, i sort of wish i had at the very least took him up on the offer to visit.
