It's not like Alaska isn't wilderness - it mostly is. But most Alaskans don't live in the wild. They live on the edge of the wild in towns with schools and cable TV and stores and dentists and roller rinks sometimes. It's just like anyplace else, only with mountains and moose. Tom Bodett

Human Spirit
I've been watching Andrew Mcauley http://www.andrewmcauley.com/ on his paddle accross the Tasman Sea in a kayak. Its hard to imagine what it must like. I have dreams to go on adventures around Lake Superior, the Pacific Coast, and the like ... but something like this goes way beyond that. Its people like Andrew Mcauley that show us what the human spirit is really about. He is almost to New Zealand right now, battling strong currents that are keeping his progress slow, but he is on course, and should be there soon.
