Ooh, Alaska. I know several very nice people up there. I've actually toyed with the notion of heading that way myself.

It's nice, but only if you like cold.

Well, I'm not all that big on cold, but several of my friends insist you get used to it after a while. I've learned to handle summer in Texas without A/C in my car, and winter without a coat, so I might be able to handle Alaska.

One person even suggested that if you move there in late spring/early summer when it's warm, so that it gets cold gradually, you never even notice. *shrug* I dunno about that, but it sounds possible....

Well, since I moved to Phoenix, AZ in the fall from Alaska (just starting to chill down in Alaska, nice and warm in Phoenix), I got introduced to the heat nicely. It started out nice and warm, stayed nice and warm, got a bit crisp in the mornings for a while, got warm, got hot, got hotter, melted me, and then just stayed hot.

I walk around outside, these days, wearing long pants, a tank top, and over that, a long-sleeved shirt. Winters, I wear a leather jacket, not because I'm cold, but because it's finally cool enough to.
