Just a curious girl writing about things she finds interesting about the world and the random adventures that ensue because of it.
The dividend isn't really the oil companies paying Alaskans, it's paid out of a fund that fluctuates every year depending on oil profits and the stock market. I'm not 100% sure how it works exactly, here's the wiki page for it:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Permanent_FundIt's still a bit confusing. Free money is pretty nice though. The last dividend we got in 2000 was about $1200.
I loved the book, i hope I love the movie as well.
