Summer Bummer

Posted by Exer on Thursday, July 1st, 2010

We’ve been having rain, rain and more rain the past couple weeks. Looks like it may be a typical wet Alaskan summer. Not that I should be all that bothered by it, since I’m not actually working outdoors at the moment. What do I really have to complain about, mowing the grass too often? I [...]

Alaska isn’t always a winter wonderland, covered in feet of snow. We are a green, green state, for a few amazing months of summer.

Puppy Tales

Posted by Exer on Thursday, June 10th, 2010

OK, well he isn’t exactly a puppy anymore, but that doesn’t stop me from calling him “pup” every now and again. Whenever my mom stops by to visit she calls him “grandpa”, but that’s just because she is evil and likes to pick on helpless animals. Yup. Anyway, here is my PUP out enjoying the [...]

Don’t Bug Me

This little lady decided to land on my brothers hand while we worked on his car in the driveway. She wasn’t in any hurry to fly away, so we grabbed a camera and decided to try out the macro lens.

If You Musk

Posted by Exer on Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Every day is a lazy day for a muskox at the Alaska Zoo. It must be a lonely life. I went with my cousin, who kept saying things like “They want to be free!” every time we would reach a new exhibit. It annoyed me at the time, but looking back on the photos I [...]

STDon’t!

Posted by Exer on Saturday, July 25th, 2009

Yesterday I was trapped in a van for almost an hour with two guys talking about their misadventures with prostitutes and STD’s.  You know those situations where you would rather be ANYWHERE than where you currently are?  That was me.  Unfortunately the two guys were coworkers, Dirty Eddie (not surprising is it?) and a guy we call Bully.  The conversation went a little something like this:

Dirty Eddie:  “You ever get those crabs?”
Bully:  “Yeah man, those things are hard to get rid of.”
Dirty Eddie:  “Oh I know!  I had them once, took me weeks.  I was going crazy.”
Bully:  “Yeah, I got them when I was about 20, in Amsterdam.  I was afraid to tell my Uncle, but after 3 days I couldn’t take it anymore.”
Dirty Eddie:  “Mine go so big they were jumping!”

At this point I gave them both the “WTF”, raised-eyebrow look, and moved as far from them as the van allowed.  I think I would have got completely out if it hadn’t been raining so hard.  I mean, who in the world brags about STD’s?  I honestly don’t want to hear about the freaky, nasty prostitutes you’ve slept with during your life.  Please, please, keep that info to yourself.
