I haven't really noticed an issue with riders in town. Many of the cyclists I've seen have gone out of their way to make sure they are visible (by being on the proper side of the lane) at a light & driving defensively. Where I have had problems is the motor-racers out on the Rich. We recently went to NP for dinner & had a pack of riders (not Harley style, but rockets) approach the pack of cars very rapidly, weave in closely (I swear one guy pulled over a foot in front of this Toyota), wreak havoc, drive stupidly & then once they were through, they took off like the proverbial bats out of hell. (I did see where they turned, but am not convinced it is relevant.)
These guys are giving good riders a bad name. I don't ride, but my parents do. For all you responsible riders, thanks & enjoy the road. For the idiots who think they are immortal? You are wrong, slow down & stop being so dumb & dangerous.

This was in the ADN yesterday, I was kind of curious when it would show up here.
If I am correct, these lights being offered will take less energy to burn? The city was looking at cutting "holiday" lights, but now isn't? What IS the city really looking at cutting/changing?
This is a very generous offer from this company & it will even save some cash, which is great. I say why not? I personally love the lights in winter, they give that extra sparkle to the snow & ice fog. I really hope our mayor calms down, bites her tongue & says, "that would be lovely, thank you".

MillerPa, what I was saying was that you can STILL check THREE bags at NO cost if you are traveling WITHIN the state. So technically, it's not so bad, even kind of okay.
"-Customers traveling solely within the state of Alaska may check 3 bags free of charge."

Corinne, I was in a private school for all but three yrs & one of those three was a home school year. Also, the two yrs I spent in the ASD were in alternative programs. Anyways, it was quite a while ago that I graduated.
I definitely agree that the feds have mucked it up. I have always really liked the idea of immersion programs & NCLB does threaten those, especially in northern Alaska it seems.

Very disappointing, Alaska should have been in on this.

Very glad to hear she is doing well. After reading the ADN article, it seems she is a very fortunate young woman with some amazing friends & family.
