  1. country roads are plentiful in the south. we take advantage of and appreciate them.
    i have not seen a banjo in years. stay where you are, please, please, PLEASE, do not move here. you would not like it, to many bugs. and to quiet for most.

    • I hear ya Scout. That’s what I I tell those intruders from down south of here. But they keep coming. I’m just hoping for a really bad winter to thin them out like we had in ’78-’79 with 300 inches of snow which helped for a few years. But now they buy snowmobiles. . –ken

      • yeah, have the same problem up here in the hills of pa.
        city folk move in and fuck things up a bit. then we get a cold winter and they are gone ! a couple of years ago, it got down to 6 or so for a week. then the power went out for 3 days or so. a lot of people moved out that following spring.
        and my neighbors no long think I am nuts for installing 2 woodstoves in the house after moving up here. same with generators, have 2 of them. although starting one of them is a stone bitch to do anymore. still I get by and the locals think of me as one of them now. helping out others did wonders with that part. my big problem now is them trying to kill me by helping me split firewood ! they keep telling me to take a seat, but I just can not do that. they in better shape than me.

  2. Not many rednecks in Alaska, but lots of bears, they don’t care about perspectives, they just eat.

  3. Lived in Kodiak AK…not truly “Alaska cold” but every year several coast guard wives would say “I have had enough ” and leave their husbands….

    • Hey, I met – dated – married my wife in ND where the AVERAGE temp in winter is -22 degrees F. Of course, neither one of us were native NoDaks. AF Brats, both of us (although I was Active Duty in ’74).

      But I get your drift. Divorce rates were high.
