I'm okay!  Thank you for thinking of me, so kind of you!  Yes, I'm in Anchorage, I've been here 28 years and that was right up there in the top 3 of NOT fun quakes.  Fortunately, there has been no loss of life.  The main damage found so far is to our roads and bridges.  Kudos to strict building codes and compliant engineers and building contractors.

 

Here's the crazy thing...  I just sold my house, signed the final paperwork on Tuesday, the money hit the bank on Wednesday and the new owner moved in yesterday.  Poor lady, I hope it didn't sustain any damage.  I fly out of here next week.  What a stellar send off!

 

I'm good.  A little rattled, ha, but ok.  I can live without these aftershocks, geez!!!! ??

If you want an example of an amazing group of hard working people, check this out.  The road and railroad repairs are coming together.  On the other hand, building inspections are showing wide spread damage, a couple schools that didn't make it, lots of homes off their foundations, etc. That will take more time.  But that off ramp, wow.

Not surprised to see the good people of Alaska getting right back to work after the earthquake.  Strong, independent folks up there.  I once heard Alaskans described as "cold weather Texans."

 

Godspeed Last Frontier.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
