In The America I See From Here,

You Can Make A New Friend But You Can't Make An Old One.

Like Most Alaska Immigrants, My Roots Continue To Petition For Equal Time.

Somebody Says, 'do A Tom Bodett, A Folksy Kind Of Thing,' And It Sounds Like Something Out Of 'hee Haw,' Very Insulting. They Turn Wry Humor Into Disparaging Sarcasm, And You Get What Amounts To Insulting Advertising.

I'm Real. I Believe What I'm Saying. If Motel 6 Wasn't The Type Of Operation They Say It Is - And I Stay At Them When I Travel - I Wouldn't Do Their Commercials. That Comes Through On The Radio, And That's What It's All About.

Kids In Alaska Don't Know They're Growing Up On The Last Frontier. It's Just What They See On The License Plates, And It's Something Tourists Like To Say A Lot Because They've Never Been Around So Many Mountains And Moose Before.
