In this episode, we talk at length of local happenings. The Alaska Marine Highway system is an integral part of living in coastal towns in Alaska. One of the unions that work the boats has decided that a strike is the only way to force the state to meet their demands. All this is happening during a very aggressive budget cut by the current administration.

We know this is a great departure from our previous episode, rest assured, we will get back to talking about all the strange and weird things the world has to offer. But for now, here's an inside look at what it is like to live in Alaska where the nearest town is tiny, and the only way out is to fly or hop on a boat.
