You really make me want to move to Alaska, it has everything I love (except maybe the career opps)!<BR/><BR/>And if you do break your bum (or rather tailbone) they can't put a cast on it, and they can't do anything for the months of pain you are in for and the nagging ache that you'll experience for the rest of your life when you sit in the same position for more than 2 hours. So try to avoid breaking your tailbone ;)ameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17523535460114457419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-90494020267594121652008-02-11T05:07:00.000-09:002008-02-11T05:07:00.000-09:00That looks so cool!
