Mike:   
   My wife and I used to live in Alaska. I have always wanted to move back but   
   my employer (a county government) never saw a reason to ope a branch office   
   there   :-)   
   In general, most of the writings, movies, and TV are somewhat based on   
   fact. However, "artistic license" is often overused. Despite a few qualms,   
   my wife moved there just after we were married.  I think her qualms were   
   allayed when we drove into Anchorage and she saw seven story parking   
   structures and numerous traffic lights.   
   Alaska is a huge area. imagine being asked to describe life in the lower 48   
   states. Culture and climate would vary dramatically between Raleigh NC,   
   International Falls, Minn, and Sand Diego CA. So to is Alaska.   
      
      
      
      
      
   -> Just curious if anyone is still out there. If so, those of You who live   
   -> up north there. ;-)  I was wondering what You thought of all these new   
   -> shows on Television about Alaska, The Yukon etc. Having never been up   
   -> there, I find them interesting and fascinating.
