Here is a Bonus:  Dumb Alaska laws still on the books!

Alaska Laws:  It is illegal to view a moose from an airplane.  It is illegal to push a moose out of a moving airplane. We really protect our moose, in Fairbanks they passed a law, that prohibits feeding alcoholic beverages to moose.  However, bears aren't so lucky as it is legal to shoot bears, but waking a sleeping bear to take a photograph is illegal. 

In the most recent years we even had an assembly person try to pass a law that made it illegal to pass gas in public.  People!  This is Alaska, all I have to say is we have more men then women, and probably more methane too. :) Thank God for all our wildflowers.
