I'd buy that for a dollar!
I bought a cup at a store that was like a coffee mug cut in two. It read, "Alaska was so expensive I could only afford half a cup!" It’s fairly accurate. I think it’s a combination of being a bigger city than what I’m used to and the fact that it’s Juneau, Alaska and the only way here is by plane, boat or birth canal ‘cause so many locals oppose a road connecting it to the rest of the world. Gas is $2.81 a gallon, or $2.71 if I use my Fred Meyer’s card. Fred Meyer is an everything store kind of like Wal-Mart but without the selection and the everyday low prices. There’s no such thing as a dollar store here. In fact, the McDonalds Dollar Menu is $1.50.

Jen, I am doing well, thank you. Gained 4 pounds since I got here.
Sherri, I like one of my new roommates. She's so nice. She went on and on the other night about her late husband and how perfect they were for each other. It was like poetry that didn't rhyme, which I normally don't care for. My other roommate, the one I rent from, I've nicknamed The Trunchbull 'cause she looks kinda like that character from Matilda.

She likes everything a particular way for no particular reason, but she does it in a polite way.
Most people are wearing coats right now, but I'm told there's a popular shirt around here that's like a flannel half zip pull over. The name escapes me.
