It looks like it might rain; I don't think I'll go fishing.
It looks like it might rain; I don't think I'll go hunting.
It looks like it might rain; I don't think I'll go to the gun range.
It looks like it might rain; I don't...well, you get the idea.
I can't go out in public with duct tape on my Xtratuffs!
Thanks for the offer of a free trip to Hawaii, but I don't like to leave Alaska in January or February.

Small airplanes are just too dangerous.
Small boats are just too dangerous.
And the number one thing you'll never hear Alaskans say:
No, honestly, I believe we need more wolves.

Unfortunately true...my father passed away just before I moved to Alaska. My children say it to me, though...

Thought it was "an" before a word beginning with a consonant! Believe it or not, I even wondered about that before replying. Not long enough I guess. grin Wouldn't be the first time I got schooled by my North American neighbors.
