... the people always seemed fine to me, friendly. to live in alaska, you have to be a little, just a little bit, different from others. it's a different kind of place. the winters there, are just a bit more than your average joe would want to deal with. long daylight hours, higher prices, there's a long list. i think that maybe, they see a lot of people that come and go. that may be why they're reluctant to make new friends. if you're only gonna be there until it gets cold, well, my view, fwiw....
