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

Posted by Exer on Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

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 [...]

Kiss My Ash

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

So if anyone has been watching the news lately you may have  noticed that Alaska has been experiencing some strange natural phenomenon.  A volcano, to be specific.  Now I realize that when someone thinks of Alaska they probably don’t automatically start imagining lava spouting volcanoes, but we do have volcanoes up here.  A lot of [...]

Alaska’s Mount Redoubt Still Trembling : Discovery News.

Daddy who?

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

So apparently Bristol Palin and her “babydaddy” broke it off.  There was a newspaper article that quoted Bristol as saying they decided “awhile ago” to end things.  I, for one, am not at all surprised.  Did anyone honestly see them sticking together?  Perhaps I’m just cynical, but it “seemed” to me that they were almost [...]

Smooth Rider

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

What does a skateboarder do when winter sets in and all the beautiful pavement and sidewalks are covered in ugly snow?  They whip out their snowskates, thats what! Here is my little brother on his latest snowskate deck.  If you aren’t quite sure what a so-called “snowskate” even is, its basically just a skateboard without [...]

Things To Know (About Alaska)

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

You know you live in a harsh state, when you receive a booklet titled “Staying Alive in the Arctic:  A collection of Anecdotes, Facts & Lies about life in Alaska”.  Pretty rough when we need a guide book on how to keep alive here! I did find it to be pretty interesting though, and you [...]
