I suppose the bottom line on tourists for many permanent and seasonal Alaskans would be something along the lines of: can't live with 'em, can't pay the bills without 'em, eh?Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12866053304972928398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30204318.post-36741005632092097312008-08-29T20:37:00.000-07:002008-08-29T20:37:00.000-07:00just happened to wander by and hit the "inane ques...just happened to wander by and hit the "inane questions" post. i used to have a "husky", an alaskan malemute i believe. she was a sweetheart, as happy and loving a dog as you could want. we had a local moron complain to the dog officer because she saw "domino" sleeping outside of her doghouse on a snowbank with a light dusting of snow on her winter coat. the dog officer came by, saw she had shelter, a dog house, right by, and food and water handy and said "no problem here" and reported the complaint "unfounded". we did, in the end, have to give "domino" away because we didn't have space to give her proper exercise, so we found a farm with kids and plenty of room to run and play. we heard recently that she died of old age after a long and happy life.<BR/>"gunner"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30204318.post-43713800461180587612008-08-28T19:19:00.000-07:002008-08-28T19:19:00.000-07:00Sounds like you're hitting the end of season burn ...Sounds like you're hitting the end of season burn out, gotta love it though, keeps you in dog food!

Well, I think it was Fairbanks.<BR/><BR/>Understand your frustration with inane questions. My youngest spent several years working cruise liners and reports similar frustrations. He included a list of the most frequent in his recent book, Cruise Confidential. <BR/><BR/>I'll keep checking every week even though you have warned of a long dry spell.Marty bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03488687831072842448noreply@blogger.com
