I agree that the father could theoretically serve as the primary caregiving parent while Sarah is keeping the nation safe. He just doesn't look like he's going to relish the job. Hopefully, the voters won't force him to make that choice.
He's done it before.
==================================
I would imagine that someone who likes to hunt and fish and barrel around offroad in his pickup would be really pissed at having to live in DC, surrounded by SS men with nary a salmon, Moose or ptarmigan in sight.
Tastes like Chicken?
Speaking of ptarmigan, there is the story of how a town in Alaska had an abundance of tasty ptarmigans, and wished to name their town after them, but no one was sure of how to spell ptarmigan. So they named it Chicken instead.
John McPhee's book, Coming into the Country is a great read about Alaska. When I saw Northern Exposure for the first time, I just knew that the guy who thought up that series had read it.
Some day, I will visit AK, but I am still rather intrigued by Paraguay. It's loads cheaper. I imagine that a hotel room with cable and all, even in Chicken would cost a lot more than 90,000 Guaranies (or US$22.50). Room and board at Peter's was only a paltry G100,000. ($25). Its is nice to live somewhere where you can be a millionaire for only $250.
Paraguay is at least as quirky as Alaska, and the animals are a lot weirder.
