In honor of St. Pat’s day

I have 11 people coming to dinner tonight. The menu is, of course, meatballs and macaroni. But I used green basil and parsley in the sauce and meatballs so that counts, right?

Another Bird TLC plea

We have admitted 26 eagles already compared with 40 all of last year and we are running low on food for them. 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.

Oath to uphold Constitution done with crossed fingers

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.

Elle: Isn’t the world a wonderful place, Aunt Judy?

Bella: Are you crazy, Elle? You have to start worrying NOW!

Aunt Judy: I’m just happy I’m not at work.

Just because

Just because your parents insist on raising you in the lower 48 doesn’t mean you can’t get your Alaska on in other ways…

If only

If only I could put the totally blank look on my face that BuddhaBubba puts on hers when being asked, “WHO POOPED ON MOM’S CARPET?”, I could win every poker game in the world.

Needed – salmon and red meat

image

As you start emptying your freezers in anticipation of the coming fishing and hunting season, please keep Bird TLC in mind for any old salmon or meat you have. We accept almost all donations. Only no-nos are processed fish or meat and halibut. There’s a box in front of the door where you can drop the stuff off if it’s after hours. It’s only March 8 and we’ve already had 22 eagles admitted for care. So we need all the donations we can get. Those eagles sure get hungry when they’re healing!

Thanks to Bird TLC, there’s no need to
