Alaska...camping

Okay, I can't resist sharing this with you and if you look (and you will) this is like the 3rd post for today!  Ya, and yesterday you got nothing, live with it!!!

Anyway, last night TV wasn't the greatest and I happen to find Sarah Palin's Alaska show quite entertaining and even educational.  Now her voice tends to grate on my nerves until she settles down and speaks normally, then its not so bad.  Look I ain't gonna get into her politics and all that crap, everyone has their own opinion and that is fine.

Last night it was Kate Gosselin and kids joining Sarah and family on a camping trip.  OMG I nearly wet my pants laughing.  Kate is no camper and that is clearly and duly noted.  Hey, even Sarah (bless her heart) said she'd probably feel out of her element in some big city or on a red carpet (good save Sarah!).  But Sarah's Dad said it best, "that woman bitched from the minute she got off the plane!"

First they had a class on how to deal with bears, the idea being bears are more afraid of you and making lot of noise helps, etc.  Then, they had lessons on how to shoot a gun -- again, the noise to scare the bears away was the objective, not shooting a bear. And again, Kate was not into this at all. As memory serves she did shoot the gun but one shot and she was done, "you handle the shooting Sarah," was her comment or statement or demand.

Now nobody can control the weather so it was raining, not huge downpours but sufficient to make things damp and chilly -- hey, it is Alaska folks.  The kids were having a blast, collecting firewood, fishing, checking out tracks, collecting rocks then laying them out in the shape of Alaska and even cooking marsh mellows to make snores.  And Kate, hell, she stood under the tent, whining the entire time about how cold she was, this was not fun and how can anyone enjoy this.  I guess her idea of camping is an RV or hotel room or perhaps a heated cabin.  Even the burgers cooked over an open fire were distasteful to her.

So, without further ado and waiting as long as possible, she finally said this was it, she was leaving. She asked the kids if they wanted to come with her and they said no, so she said, "okay, you're now Palin kids, no longer Gosselin kids!"  I mean, come on, how damn immature can one woman be?!

Anyway, she left, with all 8 kids or how ever many she has and Sarah and her family stayed, sat around the camp fire, laughed, had a good time and even slept in the tents over night.  In all fairness, it didn't look that bad and hey, I for one would love to camp with Sarah and her family...once those damn cameras quit I bet she is a hoot!

Hey,you get a chance,watch her show, really its pretty amazing and Alaska truly does have some awesome sights.
