Apparently, the schools in Anchorage and Fairbanks have seen a huge influx of pupils.<BR/><BR/>Gas here is $5.38 a gallon and will stay that price all winter. I believe in Anchorage it's about $3.95? Makes it very expensive to live here.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780558832861165256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701589525052893512.post-69732597020256244802008-10-15T21:24:00.000-07:002008-10-15T21:24:00.000-07:00Oh, another comment on pricing in the villages. Th...Oh, another comment on pricing in the villages. They purchase their fuel allotment in August. Or, if not August 2008, it was when fuel costs this year were at their highest. Oil prices have gone from about $140/barrel then to $73/barrel today.<BR/>So, Sarah Palin and the Legislature gave all Alaskans who qualify for the permanent fund dividend, a one-time $1,200 energy offset. <BR/>Reports are that many villagers took that amount (it's per person, not per family) and used it to leave the villages. <BR/>Migration<A>http://www.adn.com/opinion/view/story/543290.html</A><BR/><BR/>Help for Bush residents moving to the city: That's the emergency<BR/><BR/>Published: October 1st, 2008 10:23 PM<BR/><BR/>If we in Anchorage are now having slightly lowered gas prices, the village prices are set for the year at a really high price.

And I was gobsmacked by the price that I didn't really notice anything else. Well, I did. By the sorry looking kiwi fruit it said $3.99 but I couldn't work out whether that was per kiwi or per pound or per kilo. And I didn't want to embarrass myself by blogging an incorrect price for kiwi fruit :o)<BR/><BR/>As for the elephant - Ewan LOVED his elephant.

Who would have the bottle to steal YOUR shoes?<BR/><BR/>2. Don't you wear really heavy boots?<BR/><BR/>I can only assume that any 'ned' wishing to nick your footwear is probably on a suicide mission!<BR/><BR/>And even if (and its a huge if) he did manage to steal your shoes, i doubt he'd be able to get more than 3 yards without putting his back out, given the weight of them!<BR/><BR/>Why did you mention celery? who eats celery? You go all the way to Alaska and you talk about 'celery'! you could have picked a more exotic vegetable or fruit..like asparagus..or kiwi.<BR/><BR/>I'd have forgiven you for banana even....but celery?<BR/><BR/>It's as bad as giving someone an elephant.....<BR/><BR/>:-)<BR/>xx<BR/>ps. looks cold!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
