It's cool to be stationed in Alaska

I don't know how I missed this, but a while ago, Letterman did an Alaska-related Top 10--Top 10 Cool Things About Being Stationed in Alaska. The list was read by servicepeople from Elmendorf Air Force Base, where I watch planes take off and land all day from my office window. You can watch the video here, or read the list here. My favorites are:

6. "One of the senior airmen is a moose"
. . .
4. "On weekends, can take advantage of Nome's crazy nightlife"
. . .
2. "If you want baked Alaska, just order 'baked here'"

The Nome one is funny, because, as you might remember, there actually is a kinda awesome nightlife in Nome.
