Part of the problem in Alaska, as opposed to other states, is population density. You have a small number of people scattered across a large area, and transporting fuel from a limited number of refineries to such scattered retailers in such relatively small amounts, is what makes the retail price so prone to going up. And of course when the gasoline is transported by diesel, and diesel is so much higher than gasoline, drivers of gas-powered vehicles are paying, in a way, for an awful lot of diesel fuel as well as their gas.

Well, now everybody's up and moving around. Either it's just ended or it's intermission.

There's a concert going on in Golden Heart Plaza. Unfortunately the Festival Fairbanks webcam doesn't include sound.

"fact #2. it is not legal to "be in the intersection" waiting for the light to turn yellow. Traffic regulations require you to wait behind the stop line in the turn lane before executing a left turn."
Troy, I think as a general rule it is also considered bad form to hit another vehicle that happens to have moved across that line. And when a death results, the stakes get pushed up a notch or two.
I'm just saying...

...of course, I'm rooting for Parnell.

I supported Don Young while I lived in Alaska -- but yeah, it's time for someone else to take that seat.

War never solved anything.
Well, except for achieving American independence, it never solved anything.
Okay, except for that and ending slavery.
Um, and putting a stop to the Nazi threat. But aside from that...
What were we talking about again?

Sad in November maybe. Sad after two or three years of Carter II, definitely.
I don't like McCain either, and living in a reliably red state relieves me of any responsibility for the outcome if I don't vote for him because if he needed my vote to carry Georgia he's got bigger problems than li'l ol' me.
But Obama is a lightweight. He isn't just an empty suit, he WISHES he were an empty suit. He's a HOLOGRAM of an empty suit.

Wow! So now 5.5% unemployment equals "bringing America down?" Am I the only one here who remembers the '70s?
Or should I not mention those because the president at the time was a Democrat? We're not supposed to mention Democrats when you guys bash Bush, are we? Never mind, then.

"You know who ever is control is gonna screw things up somehow."
Only if people let them. Politicians are like your neighbor's idiot nephew that you hire to mow your lawn or paint your house. You can get a passable bit of work out of him but only if you watch him like a hawk until he's done. Turn your back for a minute and he'll kill your lawn or break every window in your house, and you'll still have to pay him for his time.
