Alaska

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while, I just really wanted those pictures. I have them now, so expect them on a sidebar after I'm done with the post. I've been having a lot of fun here in Alaska, but I haven't built up enough energy to stay up until midnight(when dark begins). I miss you guys at home, and I wish you well. as for what I've been doing, yesterday I went downtown and had reindeer sausage! I saw some really cool stuff, because with 30,000 people( half of the state's population), Anchorage is the biggest city in Alaska. Big cities always attract tourism, which generates tourist shops. We have gone to an off leash dog park every day so far ( my uncle has 3 dogs, Chico, Kiddo, and Troubles.). Yesterday we went to one circling a lake, and Troubles as swimming. The other dogs swam too, but only when the tennis ball was thrown in the water. Or if a rock was thrown. they would swim back only half way through. Troubles learned to swim last Saturday, the day before I arrived. My uncle likes to let Chico, a big energetic dog into my room to wake me up. The day I arrived, we went to the mountains near by, and played around. We went up a little further, and saw a big pile of snow. It's July here too, only with more sun and less heat. For those of you curious of how my first flight went, here are some details. It was 6 hours, and while that may seem a lot to you, my family drives to Des Moins Iowa, about a six hour drive, every year. It was like that, only with more leg room, a movie, and complimentary drinks. Not much else has happened here, but I might go on a cruise tomorrow to see the wild life. Hopefully, I will see a whale. I still have my self proposed responsibilities, so I do have today's website.

It's called things younger than John McCain. It's anti republican, so those of you reading this that are republican, if there are any, don't go to the site.
today's youtube is hilarious. Did any of you ever watch sesame street? have you seen the song of the count? Imagine that, only with all the words count (except his name) bleeped out. this is the result. something interesting about count the count, though, is that his obsession with counting may be based in fact. People used to hang fishing nets in front of their doors, so the vampire would be forced to stop and count the knots.

Love you!
