  You're all very welcome

  As for Juneau, ---JeffT--- is right it does rain too much. It didn't rain the week I was working there. I noticed a few businesses in downtown with signs scribbled on copy paper and taped to the windows.

  "The weather is too nice we are closed."

  Most of Alaska counts its rain fall in inches, Juneau and most of the other "panhandle" towns count the rain fall in feet.

  I worked on a core drill 15 miles outside of Wrangell (south of Juneau) when I was a kid. The particular spot where the camp was at got annual rain fall of 14 feet. It was crap to work in but when the rain did stop it was beautiful.

  Skip the boycott it won't work.

  Tax them

  take away tax incentives

  Fines

  Take away their ability to operate in market until they become a little more proactive on safety.

  Environmental loss is preventable, loss of human lives to save money is unacceptable.

  I say fine them $100'000 million per life lost on that oil rig

  and after that let the EPA turn BP into it's cash cow

  In Alaska BP has been careless environmentally, but I don't think they have killed any body

  This clip will give a slight idea of the sound on the boat and the feel of the ocean.

  Few Americans know that Janau is the state capitol. Most think Anchorage. Visiting Alaska is my long time dream. I always thought I would visit it in the New System, but guess that's not gonna fly...

  This is the end of the road, Whitter. It's not often that the water is this calm and flat

  

  If you ever have time Whitter has an interesting history. In the picture above is a mountain that has a 2.5 mile long tunnel you drive through to get to Turnagain Arm the Seward Hi-way and then back to Anchorage.

  In the picture below and on the left is the building that most of the people of this town live in
