As I’m ticking away at the various web sites I’m responsible for this winter during our legislative session in dark and dreary Juneau, Alaska I can console myself by looking at the wind conditions on Kite Beach and wish I were someplace warmer. I have many dear friends in Juneau, but for the life of me I cannot understand why anyone would want to live there for any length of time. Its very expensive, it has all the worst characteristics of a very small down, there are no roads in or out, and it rains constantly ALL summer and fall. Its a common occurrence for my Juneau friends to call and bewail about how its rained for 60+ days straight. Yuck! My advice has always been … MOVE! Leave it to the grey haired cruise ship tourists and tee shirt shops.
