Seward, Alaska

So if you ever get a chance to visit Alaska you probably should. I've been to Alaska twice in the past two weeks and secretly it's so fun. Think Astoria, Oregon (I've also been there thanks to the Navy) where "The Goonies" was filmed except with snow everywhere and sea otters and lumberjack dudes and a lot of whales and shit.

There are 13 bars in Seward, Alaska and I have been to all of them. They're fun. Here are some statistics:

Ridiculous beards spotted: 24
Abnormally large women as bartenders or bouncers: 5
Sea otters: 3
Bears: 1
Legit hardware stores: 1
Main roads: 1
Black people not in the Navy: 0
Blackouts: 2
Now that Alaska is done with, I've got to hit up Maine, the Dakotas, Wyoming, Nebraska (ew), Michigan, and probably some other ones in there that I forgot (non-real states) in order to complete the whole 50.

I'll be back in a little more than two weeks so that's pretty awesome. I miss San Diego like you wouldn't believe. It'll be weird not living on a ship or sporadically visiting land and binge drinking in order to relieve all the pent up aggression. Except maybe that's what college was like.

Again, I have no idea what is going on in the real world. Apparently Obama is catching up to Hillary. Probably I care.

The DC madam died? Probably I care.

I'm over it.

Remember when Monica Lewinsky thought it was cute to wear a beret? Random thought I know. But I think it's hilarious.

Here's to terrible headwear choices.

To everyone: I'll see or call you as soon as I get back to SD.
