yeah.. sure.. most of the time...
could do without the insane shipping costs, and always being excluded from contests, and the jacked up prices "just because we're in alaska" and the whole daylight all summer, dark all winter thing takes getting use to.. (i moved up here 6 years ago..)
and travel is kind of a pain... but, most of the time the weather is decent (helps that i like snow..) and the scenery is fabulous, so it's good
