I no longer have to drive from my downtown hotel to the base. So I'll snap a few pictures tonight (this still light out at 9:30pm takes some getting used to) after work and try and get a review up.

The TL;DR version is, it wasn't bad for a rental. But that's compared to the Sonic LTZs we had when we were here in February.

In other news, I haven't slept solidly since we got here on Wednesday. I think it's because it's so dry here. Waking up every 30-45 minutes sucks.

You're in Ak-49 right?

Yes sir. Took this pic this morning after I saw it on the local news.

Nice. I am jealous of all the daylight you guys get in the summers. Light till 9:30 pm already eh?

Yeah, I don't live here though. I'm just up here for work. We get some pretty long days in Seattle during the summer though. When I came here in April of 2010, I visited some friends on base for some homemade chili and beer. It was 11:30pm and the sun was still bright in the sky. It would've been great if I didn't have to get up at 3am that next day.

I should put my Camry rental rant up. I threw a draft in when I was still mad at it.

Mine sucked. Mine sucked a lot.

One of the best things about life on Alaska is coming out of a bar at closing (2 a.m.) and having to put on your sunglasses.

That and fishing ALL NIGHT.
