Tunnel Of Love

Not really the Tunnel of Love but a strategic tunnel that goes under the Glenn Hwy in Palmer at the end of Auklet Ave. Saves a lot of time if you are walking or riding a bike as the pedestrian crossing light on Arctic is the longest wait in Alaska.

Pictured on the right are the leftovers of our BBQ today. Teriaki Chicken and an awesome Thai Salmon, grilled asparagus, potatoe salad and the all-American hot dog. Beautiful weekend in the valley and they are calling for 77 degrees in Palmer for Memorial Day.

God Bless our Troops!

Blogging from the Bluff

We had some down time so I hooked up my laptop out on the bluff and tuned into Radio Paradise.

I wanted to do this all summer.

Wish you all were here with me.

Blue the Mule

Meet Blue, a mule and thats Peyote, the brown horse. Blue is stubborn as a mule. Good pack animal but you can ride him if you can show him whose boss.

Enjoying the valley and life on the lake. Starting a new life in the spring of things. Waking up to sunrises and falling asleep shortly after sunset. Thats all going to change tonight with daylight savings time going into effect. Spring ahead Alaska!

Mating Season

Change is Good

The sun is high in the sky making for longer days. Leaving the winter darkness behind once again.

Interesting Day in Alaska

Lots of action going on at the old Rexal building. Its supposed to be some kind of inside mall. They got all the windows boarded up so I can't see in.







For the first time, that I can remember, Alaska held caucus' all over the state.


When I first moved up here in 1980 I got a job in Kodiak working king crab. At that time Alaska had 4 time zones. On the fish pick line at 4 in the afternoon the radio was announcing that Ronald Reagan was the president when Alaska's polls were 4 hours from closing. Seemed to us Alaskans who was elected president was decided in Iowa.



Now we are only an hour behind Seattle. And if we could get rid of Day Light Savings Time we will only be an hour behind Pacific Time for 6 months of the year.

When I was in in Hawaii it was the first time in my life I didn't spring ahead or fall behind.

Vote for the FishTaxi for President of Time!

Trolley Song

One of my happy childhood memories growing up was "singing around mom playing the piano." Mom is from the era when you bought the sheet music to the latest hits. All the old songs like The Trolley Song from Meet Me in St. Louis were our favorites. We loved singing and pretended we were The Andrew Sisters. By now we would have been sharpening up on the Christmas music.


I've had The Trolley Song in my head all week.
