As I age I realize that the thought of death, while still somewhat scary, is not half as scary as it was when I was younger. Maybe that’s because I don’t want to be the last woman standing, the last remnant of my group. I’d rather go earlier than later.

Neither Lisa Murkowski nor public safety at any level can impact domestic violence and sexual assault in Bush Alaska as much as the good men of those villages can. The men in those villages need to stand up for their mothers, sisters, daughters, nieces and grandmothers. They must make it clear that anyone who hurts them is no longer a welcomed member of the community.

Currently, men who abuse at night can go out with their hunting partner in the morning and feel no consequences. Nothing is said or done that would make the abuser the slightest bit uncomfortable. Abusers

So there I am, having a smart little dinner party with friends, chatting socially and enjoying life when BuddhaBubba strolls into the living room. She casually goes to one corner of the carpet, turns to face us and then squats and pees with a very calm expression on her face, as if to say, “No, carry on with your conversation.

Until you open your ranks to the other half of humanity… both in allowing married priests as well as female priests… you will continue to be a slightly musty and smelly old boys club that carries the taint of sexual abuse, misogyny and total irrelevancy. Do you not get that the minute a population develops an educated middle class, you lose most of your members and all of your influence? There’s a reason for that.

Please keep us in mind as you clean out your freezers of old salmon in preparation for the coming fishing season. We even have a box outside the front door for food to be dropped off after hours. We take anything but processed meats and fish and halibut.

C’mon Alaskans… I know you have last year’s salmon that’s just going to be in the way of this year’s catch when you try to get it in your freezer.

Our legislators clearly feel that the Civil War really didn’t solve the issue of federal versus state law. So they’ve made the bold, albeit somewhat insane, move towards passing a bill that would allow state law enforcement officers to arrest federal law enforcement officers if they attempt to enforce a law that they think is illegal under the Alaska Constitution. When they took that oath of office to uphold the federal constitution – well, they had their fingers crossed so it didn’t count. Because, as all real Alaskans know, we don’t care how they do it in the lower 48.
