Time on deck 21:21

We are almost to Indy and I've called at tortured my co-workers enough. I am going to Alaska, it all a matter of picking a location. 

I am leaning towards North Slope, but I still have to run some numbers for cost of living and everything. 

I could be the next 11th and 12th grade science teacher at Barrow High School in Barrow, Alaska. The most northern school district in the United States.

Another District!

And on the way home, somewhere in Wisconsin, Northwest Arctic messaged me that they were still interested. 

So I formed another set of questions to be answered....

1. Housing and utilities cost in Kotzebue?

2. Do we need a snow go or honda? And how to get them up there?

3. If housing isn't district housing, do we have to buy furniture?

4. Outdoor recreation on a spit? (spit is the actual geographic term for a type of peninsula)

I texted those questions to be answered. At the same time, I had to think about which district did I truly connect with at the fair. 

It was started to look like North Slope.
