Things to like about Alaska today

That first breath of crisp, cold, clean air when you step outdoors.

Clean white snow on the mountaintops so bright against the cobalt blue sky it almost hurts your eyes.

That first little skid of winter on some ice you didn’t expect..

Driving home under northern lights green across the sky with spires reaching higher into the stratosphere, obscured some by a bright full hunter's moon.

But, most of all, the humor. The Alaska humor with such a sense of place.
