    If you were with us last Friday, we asked some questions about what we learned on our trip to sunny Alaska several weeks ago.
    Well, before we move on to other things, we wanted to revisit -- our visit: North to the Kenai Peninsula, Seward, Anchorage, and other south-central Alaskan areas around the Cook Inlet -- one more time.
    On our trip, we learned a lot about Alaska (in general), including some common Alaskan Slang -- which is tonight's True-or-False ("TorF") topic.
    So, how much Alaskan Slang do you know?
    Please give us your best answer for each of the following 3 TRUE or FALSE questions, by using the (reuseable) answers of "A"=TRUE or "B"=FALSE.
    Good Luck and remember, YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!

North to Alaska -- Are we there yet?

 Question #1: Outside is Alaskan Slang for any place in Alaska that does not sell liquor, beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverages -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False

Question #2: Alpenglow is Alaskan Slang for the pink glow on mountain peaks at sunset -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False

 Question #3: Termination dust is Alaskan Slang for the first snowfall that sticks on top of the mountains each year -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False

Alaskans have some pretty unusual terminology that can be confusing to the untrained ear. Here’s a list of terms that may be helpful when talking to an Alaskan or writing about Anchorage and the state.
Alaska – Aleut word meaning “Great Land.”
Q1: Outside – Any place not in Alaska.
Q2: Alpenglow – The pink glow on mountain peaks at sunset. While this phenomenon is easily seen on the slopes, travelers can also get a bird's-eye view by booking a sunset helicopter tour.
Q3: Termination dust - The first snowfall that sticks on the tops of the mountains each year, which signifies that winter is on its way. Originally a gold rush term signaling the end of the prospecting season, it now gives low-land residents warning that snow will be falling in about a month.

    ++ QUOTES OF THE DAY ++  -- lyrics from "North to Alaska" by Johnny Horton (repeat, D'oh!)

Where the river is windin'
Big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska
They go North, the rush is on

A-way up north (north to Alaska)
Way up north (north to Alaska)
North to Alaska
They go north, the rush is on
North to Alaska
They go north the rush is on
