*** Quoting THEODORE NIKODEM from a message to MIKE ROBERTS ***   
      
    TN> Mike: My wife and I used to live in Alaska. I have always wanted to   
    TN> move back but my employer (a county government) never saw a reason to   
    TN> ope a branch office there   :-) In general, most of the writings,   
      
   Hi Theodore, I guess I should say, Nice to meet You.. I have seen Your name    
   elsewhere or maybe even here I think, but I don't think we ever chatted.   
      
   Thats too bad, especially if You like Alaska. But currently I can understand    
   how a Job is more important :)   
      
    TN> numerous traffic lights. Alaska is a huge area. imagine being asked   
    TN> to describe life in the lower 48 states. Culture and climate would   
    TN> vary dramatically between Raleigh NC, International Falls, Minn, and   
    TN> Sand Diego CA. So to is Alaska.   
      
   I hear Ya.. In most cases for me when I see these shows, I am obviously    
   impressed by it's beauty. I also find that in many of the shows about rural    
   areas, I am impressed with the commraderie amongst the home town folks and    
   the willingness to work together etc. It looks like a hard life, but a    
   healthy one. As for cities, I will count on Your assessment, sounds like they    
   are just like the thousands of other cities across the world. I still say I    
   would love to live up there, if I could afford it.   
      
   Have a good One!   
   Mike
