    Nome, Alaska. Awesome!

    Today I celebrate 14 years of living here. Winter is cold and snowy, but the Summers are incredibly nice (most years). Gas is $4.99 a gallon and since it is shipped in on a barge once a year, that is the price we will pay until the next barge arrives next June. By comparison, milk is $7.99 a gallon. Of course, in the Summer you can go down and buy a 3 pound King Crab for 10 bucks, and if you like salmon, all you have to do is dip a net into the water, they are that plentiful. Other than the price of gas and milk, most everything else is surprisingly about the same as stores in the lower 48.
    No State income tax or sales tax, and we get a couple thousand dollars a year from the state off of the oil royalties from the pipeline. A bit on the expensive side to live here, but the pay more than makes up for it.

     There is one in every class. I dare say though that it is eve worse when you are actually in college. Even more so if you are a jr. or sr. that by some spiteful act of god ends up in a 100 level class. These are usually 200+ seat auditoriums full of freshman. It seems that the majority of freshmen are less intent on learning and more intent on showing off how smart they are. Listen; I assume you are smart (or really rich) if you are in college. At the very least you aren’t downright retarded since your shoes are tied. Sit down, shut up, and maybe we can all get out of here faster. I am not paying $5000 a semester to hear what my peers think of peasant workers’ rights in cambodia, because honestly the majority of my peers are downright mentally sterile. If you don’t write the tests you don’t speak in a lecture hall.

     Out in the sticks. The boondocks. Nearest “town” is about 10 miles away and it hardly qualifies. Let me put it this way, if I want to go to a fast food place the nearest McDonald’s or Sonic or taco bell or something like that the nearest drive thru is about 50 miles away. It’s about a 100 mile round trip if I want a Big Mac.

     I absolutely love it here. You couldn’t drag me away.

     My place in a word? Quiet.

     I actually like Dreamweaver (Frontpage should be doused with cleansing fire, however…); code is code, no matter what you use. The good things about Dreamweaver are the abilities to code and preview and the same time, as well as keeping snippets and templates in logical order if you use a lot of the same coding for multiple projects. Otherwise, it does a good job of holding your hand if you are a beginner and need help with making sites.

     Thanks for clearing that up. I had it in my head that a mangina was a male anus, used in the same way as a vagina. I guess it would bleed, be penetrated, talk to you while you’re high, etc. The real defeniton is much less disturbing.
