The sunrise is at 9:55 and sets at 3:46--can you believe it!! I barely notice because I'm so busy planning!! They tell me-those Alaskans--that in February it gets lighter faster...but then again they say a lot of things!!!!!

I met two teachers from Kansas City -they invited me to dinner and had drinks at their house before. They have been teaching 30 years (math) and 19 (accounting) and moved for the adventure!! They find Anchorage in a time warp 1970ish..........but they are from a large city. Both are making more money here with only a step 6--interesting! They have a really nice home and are getting adjusted. They moved here in the summer so had time to explore before school started.

Most people are from somewhere else--thought they would try it here for a few years and never left.

Freezing rain today--YUCK!
