Coulda been a few different places but Tetlin headquarters is the giveaway. Some guys on here from there. Many years ago I watched a guy get shot (not fatal) in the parking lot of the gas station. Was only 20 feet away, 2 local guys arguing over a pickup truck, then POP....POP. Crowd of tourists scattered, then returned in a big circle with camcorders around the shooter face down in handcuffs,still yelling at the victim. Was quite a show.

that is right. a good day is -20....

baked goods??? how about some sicilian NY pizza, or real bagels...

So unless you are an orthodox italian I don't think your services will be welcomed.

there is no krispy kreme here, bakerys open and close all the time.

Send her up.

That's right on those temperatures by the way. That's nice weather. Clear skies, not a lot of traffic. Everyone inside waiting for fresh donuts and coffee, the stove cherry red. Great time to be alive.

As a matter of fact there are. I don't know how it compares with other states but it is a very common affliction in Alaska.

NY, Particularly the WNY region, has a very high Diabeties rate. In my opinion, 2 major causes of it are the food that people are eating and the lack of exercise. There are a lot of overweight people in the County.
