We have a new game we play every morning. It's call "Guess the Headline" and it goes like this: before turning on the computer, we guess which of the following three headlines will be the lead on www.adn.com (The Anchorage Daily News).
1. Wildlife atrocity! (Bear attacks person, moose attacks person, wolf attacks person, animal control officers kill one of the above.)
2. Person catches big fish!
3. Alaska politician involved in scandal! (Palin in trouble, Stevens in trouble, someone else in trouble).
Because it's always one of those three. If you chose 1 or 3, you can get bonus points by picking the correct option within the category.
We are considering adding a bonus round by guessing which of the following is still a major, but not leading story:
a) Something to do with oil
b) Something to do with mining
c) Something to do with a 5K run or bike race.
It's fun! Try it for a week and you'll see!
But I kid Anchorage - it's nice to live in a place where a person catching a big fish has a reasonable chance of being the main headline, at least until Stevens gets hit with a fresh indictment.

Ha ha ha! Sounds like fun. Maybe we can apply the same game to Florida? (which school has a teacher arrested for having sex with a student, oil drilling off FL coast, Hurricane targets). Let us know if you have any suggestions on how to carry this out.
G&A, Clearwater FL
