thistlechaser | Cookin' Chicken in Alaska

Two topics, one title!

- Chicken: No trip to the vet for little miss kitty this week! Yay. A weekly trip at $100-$250 a trip with zero results was ... well. Frustrating. I'm just glad not to go this week. Spoke to the vet on the phone, we're going to continue with the current meds and feed her only chicken and nothing else. So I went shopping today and got a mess of it, and once I was home boiled it up. Kitty is muchly liking this diet.

- Alaska: For a couple years now, I've been thinking about moving there. I've never been there, but I had never been to this state before I decided to move here and worked out great. I've been doing more research and looking at photos and such, and I'm starting to question my decision. I didn't want to live in a city, and the non-city places (can hardly call them 'towns') are... not exactly what I'm looking for. Many have no indoor plumbing. You have to carry a "honeypot" with your human wastes out to some central place to dump. No running water. Sometimes no drinkable water, you need to treat it first. More than that, every photo of buildings in these places looked run-down. Not to stereotype, but they looked "poor". Probably an effect of weather on the wooden buildings. Some of these villages had under 20 folks in it.

I'm really not sure that's for me. I would like to live alone and away from things, but to have to take a flight to reach the hospital? And darned it all, I need running water, a normal toilet, and a fast Internet connection!

I guess I'll stay where I am for now...
