I keep telling them this is a false spring and they should stop budding but they won’t. They are going to be so disappointed when it snows again. And it will. It will snow just enough to make our real spring another bloody horror of wet mud breakup and icy driveways because going through that once a year is just not enough.
The violence in Alaska is not a liberal statistic
I was more than a little surprised at the reaction to last week’s column citing the survey showing Alaska to be the most violent state in the union. The most amazing reaction came from the person who claimed it was a liberal survey meant to pave the way for taking our guns. Considering guns were not even mentioned in the piece, I’m not sure where that came from. Also, the survey was done by the FBI, not a group known for being a bastion of liberal thought.
Then there were the people who claimed that no survey probably ever existed
February 24 is my new official holiday
If you don’t know why, you don’t live in Alaska…
I know breasts are popular but…
After watching the fashions at the Oscars I have to again say that bared breasts smashed down and taped into gowns that are slit to the naval will just never do it for me. Though, to be very honest, that style beats hell out of the stupid dresses that have one part that stops at the knee and then some gauzy material that goes to the floor covering it. That style always reminds me of dressing up as a child with my clothes underneath some old slip my mother let me play with. I looked stupid then and they look
While the rest of us simmer in Anchorage’s hot winter of wind and rain…
Some people are smart enough to head to the cooler and sunnier climate of Florida. As for that handsome young man… he’s eligible, makes a good living and has a kind and gentle soul. Only women who truly appreciate nice men need apply… and I will be screening the applicants.
What is wrong with these pictures?
One of these pictures is the view from my sister’s house in New Jersey.
The other is the view from my house in Anchorage, Alaska.
Guess which one is which…
Hint… hers has a frozen bay in the background.
Hide the children! Protect the vulnerable!
I’ve had my first robo call from a politician running for mayor here in Anchorage. Oh sweet Jesus… it seemed like such a short break from the last election cycle in the fall until today. And now it’s over. The peace has been shattered. The calm of my world is gone. I will not be answering my phone until after April.

The most violent state in the union
Did you see the survey that was in the paper a few weeks ago? It showed that Alaska was the most violent of the 50 states. Once again, we’re number one. It’s rather sad that we manage to come in second for annual Spam consumption but first for violence.
This survey made headlines in the paper immediately after its release. And almost as immediately, the news and discussion you’d think it would produce was muted into non-existence. Maybe Alaskans are just too tired of the discussion. Maybe the Super Bowl was more important. Maybe we’ve just come to accept violence
As much as I’m enjoying this…
As much as I’m enjoying the photos from my childhood home of the bay across from my sister’s house actually iced over, this would be a lot more fun if Anchorage was actually having anything that even resembled a winter happening and if the Iditarod hadn’t been moved to Fairbanks because of lack of snow here.
This is all so wrong… and yet I laugh when I think that it’s so cold back east that even my sister won’t walk. I believe if you look in the Bible, that’s one of the signs of the Apocalypse.
