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.
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.
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.
Please go to http://www.gofundme.com/BirdTLC and help us raise the money we need for our very own anesthesia machine to help these amazing creatures go back to flying free and wild. Every little bit helps. And honest, if you donate, I’ll send out a message worldwide to every bird I know to not crap on your car for at least a year!
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 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.
It’s just wrong to be sitting in my office in the middle of February listening to the snow melt and drip off my roof and deck. Snow come back! All is forgiven! Boston doesn’t love you half as much as we do. So whatever we did to drive you away, we’re so, so sorry.
This is the view of the bay across from my sister’s house on Absecon Island… that’s the island Atlantic City is on. If you look closely, you can see the ice of the frozen bay in the distance. Maybe they could start the Iditarod from there.
Aunt Judy not only lets you ride her inside bike but she also lets you wear her “Watching Miss America” crown so you can practice for the day you ARE Miss America. The look on Bella’s face tells you there is pretty much nowhere else she’d rather be..
Given the state this man comes from, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by these remarks… or that he’s gotten elected despite having made remarks like this in the past. The bad old days before women starting the fight for equality haven’t really gone away. They just moved south.
