OT, to teri,re: Is it still really winter in Alaska??

No, it's spring, because the ice is now thin enough (less than two feet thick on Kotzebue Sound), and you can get through it with an ice auger to catch sheefish. In the winter it's too thick to fish through. Another sign of spring: the whales are up from California, and the whaling boats out of Point Hope are chasing them. My 6 year-old daughter, who has lived here most of her life, likes muktuk (that's raw whale blubber with the skin left on), but I haven't acquired a taste for it.
