It is called the "Sponsor Canvasback to Alaska" law

Here is a question for you all.

I woke up around 4:55AM this morning and there was not a cloud in the Sky !. I was looking out towards the West and noticed an extremely bright Star in the early Morning sky.

Anyone know what that was ?

I don't mind it too much myself, and it's not the cold, it's the brutal wind we have here that rips down the valley. I remember a time or two last year when the wind stopped and it was 30-40 below and it was quite tolerable... I zipped right out to play with the pups...lol

I don't mind it either. Minus 20 here is warmer than 20 above in Anchorage. I hate that inlet.

The winter temps in Alaska are our unique way of saying "Told you not to move up here....!"

Pete
I feel I have to apologize for my last post. I should have been more sensitive toward your rejection. After some serious thinking about the underlying cause of your accepting Tiffany with open arms but rejecting CB, I've realized that it is simply because CB is from New York and Tiffany is from Iowa. Couldn't possibly be any other reason I'm sure.
