    Check out this east coast raised dentist's lifestyle/practice! Not exactly common or predictable.

    See below (and click to read the entire article.)

    I love reading newspapers from around the country and that is how I happen to stumble upon this article and this dentist:

    Barrow dentist honored

    By DEBRA McKINNEY

    For Amanda Gaynor Ashley of Barrow, skiing to work in polar bear country with .44 Magnum strapped to her hip was a bit of a departure from her East Coast upbringing. Training for a Denali climb in a place as flat as Kansas was tricky, but she managed by doing a ton of StairMaster with a heavy pack and going camping in a blizzard at 60 below.

    In case you wonder where Barrow is, check out this map below.  She lives in one of the northern most cities of the United States.  She lives a long, long, long way from Anchorage....and my guess is that her Ivy League classmates at University of Pennsylvania don't have a practice like hers.

Great article....very interesting. I love reading things like this. One thing though - how in the world is she a vegan in Alaska? I've been a vegetarian for 40 years, and I wonder how she gets enough things to eat? I thought they mainly ate meat and fish there. She is probably one of the very few vegans in Alaska! Just one more reason I loved the article about her!
