Everyone who has lived in Alaska for at least a year gets a check from the State? Regardless of age including children, babies, toddlers, etc? Last year's check per person was over $1,880? When are we moving to Alaska?

Born and raised there, and all that's true. The money varies from year to year, but if you think about it, a couple grand a year isn't going to change your lifestyle or anything. The lack of state taxes is the better part.
I loved summers as a kid,and I'd stay up until 4:00am and sleep 'til noon and never miss the sun. Of course, the hours of daylight varies as you go through the summer, but on the longest day, the sun won't go completely down, and there's just some twilight for a couple of hours, then it's back up. In Barrow, at the northern tip of the state, the sun is literally up for 24 hours.
Here's a shot of Anchorage I took at 11:00pm or so:

No single drop of rain feels it is responsible for the flood.

Just remember this part before you head North to Alaska
"The Permanent Fund Dividend is a dividend paid to Alaska residents that have lived within the state for a full calendar year (January 1 – December 31), and intend to remain an Alaska resident indefinitely. This means if residency is taken on January 2, the "calendar year" wouldn't start until next January 1."
Also, and I remember this well, the original plan was to split it up according to how long people had been residents of the state, with the idea being that people who've been there longer contributed more to the building the state, and more in taxes, than new residents, but one guy sued and won, making it the same for everyone. Needless to say, he wasn't very popular with a lot of long-time residents.
If you shoot one to protect yourself, it's not illegal.
But it is illegal if you don't report the killing of the bear to the State and also if you don't immediately skin the bear to preserve the claws, skull, and hide and turn those into the proper authorities.
