Oh wow, Dawson Creek! Hi! *hugs* You have a much better claim to write about the north than I do. Would you want to collaborate a bit on that second post? I know about big-city living in the north but I'm worried I'm misrepresenting some of the subtleties about rural life, so I'd really appreciate your feedback/co-writing help.

And we totally own the Alaskan highway. Do not even start :-)
