My husband is obsessed with two t.v. shows lately, both about Alaska:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Bering Sea Gold \u2013 or as I say, \u201cI\u2019m not buying any more gold jewelry now that I know where it comes from. Because that? Is RIDONKULOUS!\u201d There’s endless equipment malfunctions and in-fighting amongst the team.\u00a0\u00a0And if I can\u2019t stop buying gold jewelry, I will begin paying extra for the non-conflict gold from other countries. An alternative title for this show could have been: Ice Road Truckers Go All Miner Forty-Niner on Your Assets.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. Alaskan Bush People \u2013 or as I call it, \u201cCompletely incompetent people who should not be living in the Alaskan wilderness yet are and will most likely pay the ultimate price for it.\u201d The show is about this family – 2 parents, 2 younger tweenish daughters and like 4 or 5 or 12 sons who don\u2019t hold still and look different every time you see them so it\u2019s hard to get an actual count. They all have this Nell, \u201cTaaaay in the weeyund\u201d accent developed from their viewing of Jodi Foster movies on old VHS machines jerry-rigged to run via gas-powered generators. And they are endlessly underplanning for important things like building a dwelling and acquiring food before winter comes. In addition, someone gets a toothache at least once an episode and has to go by boat, olde timey wood paneled station wagon and dirt road (not necessarily in that order) to get to the only dentist in Alaska. When the toothaches happen, the 4 or 5 or 12 brothers stay behind so that they can begin catching plenty of fresh salmon for the tooth-pulling-in-exchange-for-fresh-salmon barter that will ensue. I admire the family\u2019s big dream and all. But their execution is the pits.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
