This has got my vote.

This is my 20th winter in Anchorage. I fly a lot. I think the airport has only been closed once since 1999: for part of a day in March 2001 after we got 29" in less than 24 hours. I would much rather have the snowy part of a trip be here, rather than, say, Charlotte NC.

I’d like to parse Trump’s grammar: “I hire usually good people.” Is this just his semantically-challenged way of saying he thinks he usually hires good people? Or is he admitting that he has a policy of hiring people who are good most of the time, but not all of the time?

Telework.

Stereotype much?

I worked at home for eight years straight, and at a latitude where opening the blinds early in the winter doesn’t help — the sun does not come up until after 10 AM. Nonetheless I can attest to the benefits of having a routine, a dedicated work place, and daily outdoor exercise.

This computer outsmarting thingy is why my Impreza is a manual. I can control torque with the clutch and gear selection. With studded Hankooks six months of the year here on an Alaskan mountainside (and the winter driving experience Donner Pass tourists generally lack), I have never been stuck nor gone off the road.…

Covered in dark chocolate . . . 

You mean to tell me that a (likely) demented narcissist who spent most of his life in Queens, and whose major hobby is watching TV (and we’re not talking PBS), doesn’t know as much about forestry as forest professionals do?? Does this means his advice about my bone spurs is also suspect???

So do headlines with numbers: “Five ways to save energy and water around the house.”

“I’ll send you an invite.”

Looks like September — May driving here in AK. Where we use studded winter tires on our AWD Subarus, and merely laugh at slightly greasy conditions like this.

How many times do I have to remind the writers and editors here that my state, Alaska, is part of the nation? That means when you use the term “nationwide” in a story, but the “facts” you are reporting don’t apply to AK, or your graphics only show the contiguous/Lower 48 states, you are using the WRONG WORD.

And that’s how it’s done every single day in the 49th and 50th states (and parts of Europe). Why hasn’t the rest of the USA caught up yet?

I wear a night guard and I also need to descale my coffee maker and electric kettle frequently because our well water is pretty hard. For a while I was using generic grocery store denture tabs for the night guard, but then I read the ingredients. I also took a closer look at the ingredients of the expensive coffee…

I think this article, and your comment, may be conflating introversion and shyness. I consider myself to be an extreme introvert in that I love solitary pursuits and require a lot of down time to myself when traveling, attending conferences, etc. with lots of other people. E.g. I hate sharing hotel rooms (unless I’m…

There’s no sales tax where I live.  So that makes it easy.

My addiction to dubbel zout caused premature loss of a crown and the need for an $8000 tooth implant. Now I chew my Dutch licorice on the other side.

Come live with me at 61.5 N.

Here in Anchorage Alaska, we go to work in the dark and come home in the dark for about five months a year. DST only makes it that much harder to get up on weekdays, starting in early September, when sunrise is already coming after the start of an early-normal working day. Without DST, the sun does not come up until…
