But in Alaska the mosquitoes are the size of B 52s.

Alaska is a hell hole. I have done enough 'training' there for a life time and never want to step foot on that soil again. The marshes, the cold, the dust and the FUKING BLOOD SUCKERS! OMG! I had to actually evacuate a few of my Marines from being saturated and overcome from bites...one mental, and one physical. I have never encountered such a thing before. Even in the Philippines or Japan, Guam or the Soloman Islands. Never-ever. When I hear people say they are going to Alaska for vacation...I can't help but cringe and pucker my balloon knot. Screw that.
