I put a link to my CafePress store over in the links section. Go there and find that 99801 tshirt in a black v-neck ladies option.

For all other humans, please note the Make Bikes, Not War tshirt design that I did.

Buy something if you want. All proceeds go to a good cause, namely the Chewy Kolchuk Beer and Pizza Fund.

I don’t care if it’s been photoshop’d. I don’t care if it’s not real. It’s hilarious, and that’s what counts. I’d credit the original person who created this, but I have no clue.

I didn’t know that God and I had something in common…

You know how when you live in a metropolitan area, people keep their pets on leashes and they have the little doo-doo baggies to pick up after their pets, and (being a metro area, like I said) you don’t see much wildlife? And when you do, it’s a raccoon or a possum mostly? In Seattle, we keep our trash covered on trash day so that dogs won’t dig in the trash, but really there are no dogs that roam around on their own. So many people are afraid of Sparky getting hit by a car or raped or something.

Not so, here. You keep your trash covered. With a bungy cord. If you don’t, you’ll have ravens getting into your garbage just like shown in the photo. Mind you, these aren’t stupid animals like crows and magpies. No, ravens see you coming and watch you. They regard you. You can see the thoughtfulness in their beady little black eyes. Little is a relative term here, cuz ravens are almost as large as eagles.

Speaking of eagles. I’m gonna have to go to the dump to get some shots of our nation’s symbol. They are of course, beautiful birds, but if you HAVE to get a picture of one within the hour, just go to the dump. That’s where the food is…

Hey ladies, Kate told me that I’ve been tasked with getting shots of a certain breed of window-cleaning wildlife while up here.

Don’t know if that’s gonna happen.

Firstly, if I surprise the animal with the flash from my camera, I’m likely to be mauled with a wiffle-ball bat. Secondly, I think the neighbors on this street might take exception to me setting up a tripod and hanging out ‘on location’ for hours on end. Thirdly, I can’t exactly set up a mega-zoom camera in the living room and sit, staring forever.

That’s just creepy.

So, like all wildlife photographers, I’m just going to have to have my camera on my person at all times and pray that opportunity presents itself.

We’ll talk…

I think I might have this thing working.

Ever since switching to WordPress, I’ve been having to re-learn how to get photos onto my site. I figured that out with Whitty’s help. Now I wanna use a feature called Lightbox, which I used when I was coding everything on my site. After some doing, I finally got it going. Just in time too, cuz I’m clearly going to get good pics while up here.

That’s all I got.

Mom and I just went and had dinner at Bullwinkle’s. Good food, good beer, whoop de doo…

The glacier is still there, like a some HUGE paperweight, keeping the Northern Hemisphere firmly in place on top of the Equator.

This place rains like a SONOFABITCH when it wants to, which is fine, cuz I haven’t smelled anything so fresh and clean in a long time.

Cinco de Mayo party last night. Didn’t know a lot of people there, but I did know a lot of other people there. It’s weird to see people that you haven’t seen since highschool in a party atmosphere. Nobody is doing keg-stands. The food doesn’t come in grease-saturated bags and the only drinking straws are the ones that were bought at the store specifically for Adults and Adult Drinks. Speaking of ‘adults’…

I’m walking around here, and I’m seeing people who are obviously responsible adult-types. They have that look to them, which is different than just having kids orbiting around them. So in my immature mind, I’m thinking “there’s an adult”, only to get closer and realize that I only recognize them well enough to know that they’re 5 years younger than I am. WHOA.

Still no USB cable, cuz the mall was closed when we got there.

so I’m not gonna. Let’s just say that I’m up in AK, it’s raining like a sonofabitch, and I forgot to bring the cable that connects my phone to my computer. NICE!

I did, however, bring my boots, a warm hat and a waterproof jacket.

I’ll post again after I hit up RadioShack for a USB cable or if something crazy happens (probably fueled by AK Amber or Rainier).

Oh yeah, and while I’m at it (not posting, that is), I remember having talked to friends of mine about the sketchy landing that planes have to make when landing at the local airport. 737 flies just over the treetops and then has to make a last-minute course change before touching down and slamming on the brakes. Well, I filmed it with my camera, so I’ll have to show you folks when I get back just in time for Bike To Work Day.

Ta ta, lads and lasses…
