Jane here again...

Art is still making good progress getting our new home setup. Next stop - cable internet! He will be posting again soon.

Another thing people say to me when they find out about the move is either "You must be brave" or "Be brave now". In case they think I'm going to be living on an ice floe somewhere, I generally venture "Well, we'll be in Anchorage. It's a pretty modern city..." Then they shake their heads and repeat the "brave" comment. I always make some non-commital sound or agree with them, but it makes me wonder. Why brave? Do 86% of all new Alaskan get eaten by wolves or something? If this is indeed the case, I missed the CNN.com article.
