No, I didn't mean for it to be 'ugly' in any way, Susan.  I was talking about 
the cold weather hunting, fishing, etc.  

I guess we just see her differently.  She is not like  John Kerry or Hillary 
Clinton, joining the NRA at the last minute, OR, talking a brand new story 
about duck hunting.  Palin fishes &  kills big game, and uses the meat to 
feed her family.  

And, I have heard her say that her "way" is the normal way in Alaska. I don't 
know; I find her more impressive than most of the little political snits that 
I see interviewed on television.  And, she is 'different' than most of them.. 
To me that is good.  Look what they have been to to us for years
