Jan Faiks, co-author of the Constitutional Budget Reserve, 1945-2017 – Must Read Alaska
Sen. Jan Faiks of Anchorage, the first woman in U.S. history elected as presiding officer of a state legislative body, has died. Faiks was Alaska Senate President in 1987-1988. She died April 10, 2017 after being diagnosed with brain cancer last year. The 71-year-old former lawmaker was living in Amelia Island, Fla. with her husband, former Alaska State Sen. Lloyd Jones, at the time of her passing. The Constitutional Budget Reserve that the Alaska Legislature is depending on today to meet State spending during a period of lower oil revenues, owes its existence to her and a handful of other legislators who sponsored it in 1988.

Portrait of the Demi-Goddess as a Child
There came a day when my father, a powerful and wealthy king
(he was a butcher)

(It was a Huffy banana bike. She was pink.)

Check Out Suspicious Computer Links with VirusTotal September 2, 2016
I had a bizarre comment on my latest post. It was a url. It was enough to get me to call my email provider and ask some questions that got me to the security folks. We think it was harmless, but I changed passwords. But it did lead to him pointing out a website that checks suspicious url’s for malware, viruses, etc.
I thought that was a cool thing to know, so here it is: https://virustotal.com

VirusTotal is a website, created by the Spanish security company Hispasec Sistemas. Launched in June 2004, it was acquired by Google Inc. in September 2012.]
Share a smile September 2, 2016
And that was it. A smile when and where I least expected it. But this is what I really loved: Somehow, that regular woman – could be a PTA mother, a secretary somewhere, or even a banker – had seen the potential of a smile in that rock. She’d followed her imagination through and was so excited about it she grabbed me – a stranger – to share it.
