I CAN SEE RUSSIA FROM MY PORCH.

Poor Sarah, she is so ridiculous that even when she is right she comes off as driving the clown car.

You can actually see Russia from Alaska.  The Island of Little Diomede in the Bering Strait is part of Alaska, and a few files away the island of Big Diomede is Russian.

Tourist at Little Diomede

I was offered a mid-year teaching position on Little Diomede, but turned it down because it would have been a non-accompanied position (I don’t go anywhere without my wife.)

I would have loved to have taught there for a couple of years - I know the people  there must be wonderful -what a learning experience for my wife and me it would have been.
