Happy Birthday Al! See you Saturday!

That's funny! Well pelottomia means fearless in Finish. I kind of like the sound of it. You could call her pelo for short.

Earl it's usualy these circumstances that end up bringing the right people and animals together. This little kitty obviously feels very loved and protected in it's new home, and will no doubt reward you with a lifetime of love back. Great feel good story on what's a stormy day down here!

I believe that's correct.

Well Colin, Ice is ice, but if there's a layer of snow on top of that ice, it'll be very crunchy feeling at -40. And please don't attempt to sign your name in the snow at -40, leave that to us experts. There is a glacier just 30 miles south of Anchorage (Portage Glacier), and we would stop there on our road trips to fill our igloo cooler with glacier ice. It's so dense that it last much, much longer that common ice. It's a pretty Blue color too.

I imagine I'd feel at home in Iceland too. You know you're living somewhere too hot, when your fillings melt.

Although "Churn my butter winch" may have a meaning all it's own, I meant to type churn my butter wench. Obviously you understood that though.

The sunsets are gorgeous! Lots of Purple...

Wrong thread

Sunrise and sunsets last maybe 30-45 minutes in Anchorage, during the Winter months. A day is just a day. Alaska Winters are more chain drive than belt drive.

Being a K1000 owner, I'm not too worried about appearances. I kind of like the Lost In Space look too. This picture is classic though! Kind of reminds me of a neo-bonnet look... Churn my butter winch!

4-5 hours for the shortest days in Anchorage. I would go out into the back yard and talk to this particular Moose. He seemed to like that. He'd get about 4' from me, and just watch my every move. He was raised in the downtown area. His Mother visited my yard often when he was just a few weeks old. The big Cottonwood tree in my backyard was his bed. Well under the tree that is.

Congrats Dusty, you'll love it! I still need to pick up an SACD to play on mine.

There are probably more deaths from Moose than Bears. They're very unpredictable. I did have a really friendly young bull Moose that slept in my back yard all Winter.

Well actually Manfred Mann fucked up the lyrics of that song. Bruce Springsteen wrote... "And she was blinded by the light Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night". Manfred sang... "Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night".

That guy better hope to hell he never breaks the law, and ends up in jail. Or maybe that's his hope?

Are you turning into an ortho hound?

OK smarty pants, I bet you've got a duzy that you're not sharing with us.

Well that's a good start I guess. Drop down sometime to see what a real tool whore looks like. I'll wait for your input before pulling the trigger.

Happy Birthday!

But what's the sense in a watch that you can't read? I mean I can barely see the hands.

Wood snob!

My understanding is that the reason it's a White room with Black curtains, is because it's an interrogation room. Not sure if that's true. But there are Silver horses in the song, if that makes you feel better.
