I'm not as far as Adak ( more west than Hawaii ), although I taught in 
Elim, Alaska - that would be 100 East of Nome, population 300.  Now, I 
am in Seward, Alaska - 122 miles south of Anchorage on the Kenai 
Peninsula.  Maybe being from Alaska at sometime in your life you can 
help me with a problem?  I have a moose that loves to come into my yard 
and destroy my huckel-berry bush.  Even though it has the brain of a 
wallnut it seems to know that it is in city-limits and can't be shot.
 
Keep your stick on the Ice,
