All I have to say is wow. My mouth had pretty much been wide open since I flew over Alaska yesterday....more breath taking than any discovery channel show. THis is Jimbo's kind of place for sure. After 14 hours of traveling yesterday and spending more than 3 hours placing aluminum foil in the windows of the house I am staying to "summerize" it (ie: keep the 24 hour daylight out so I can sleep!), my mind feels a bit scattered. Here are some random thoughts about my first morning here.....
-I already miss the darkness....everything appears to be against a white backdrop. Hard to tell which is the road vs Artic Ocean vs sky. It is literally a white out.
-I did a dance at the northern most tip of Alasks last night when I got a drive through tour of Barrow. My fellow dentist who picked me up from the airport did not know what to think of my dance, but I told him everyone in Texas dances like that. It was priceless and involved a leg guitar.
-Top three questions I have been asked by everyone I meet:
1. Where are you from and are you single? (asked in same question)
2. Do you want to buy some liquor? Mama freeze can hook you up. (who is mama freeze??)
3. Can I touch your hair?
I plan on writing more later today, but I have to get back to work. With all of this light, I don't know how much I will be sleeping. I am going after work to talk to a guy about taking his dogs out.....and I must meet this mama freeze character! I'm doing great though so no need to worry (mom!) love, Jill

Get some sleep. You are sounding more and more crazy. I recommend a nap from 2-4pm. That way, if you mess up at 2pm and you get your heart racing because you forgot to turn off you phone, you still have time to recover. Also, if you can't make the 2-4pm nap window, don't be afraid of the 7 to 745pm time slot. That is a "holy" spot for some people, not wanting to intrude on nighttime sleep, but trust me, if you haven't taken a nap get a nice doze in this area.
Good luck at the whale festival. My second case in law school involved who owned a whale. One guy tarpooned it, but it floated to the beach and some other guy picked it up. After two weeks, I learned the following Finder's Keepers.
