My Grandfather: 1915 October 25, 2021
My paternal grandfather (standing, far left) spent quite a lot of his life crewing on square-rigged ships (also known as "windjammers") out of San Francisco. These ships were owned and operated by Alaska Packers, which was a division of the Del Monte Corp (aka the California Packing Corporation). The company had a small fleet of […]

In reply to Twelfth and G: 1901: Notcom is correct - Washington Savings Bank on the right has been replaced by a Macy's, which takes up the north side of the block to 13th Street. But if you swing Google Street View to your left there is a Chase Bank. The church is gone, but […]

Tropical Orb Weaver Spider September 27, 2021
So I recently had a meet and greet with this interesting visitor. Startling experience to be sure, but intriguing, too. I mean, just look at this spider! Incredible. It’s quite large, about the size of my thumb, and a bit intimidating. As I’ve never met a spider this large (I’m happy to say) and wasn’t […]

Beneficials in the Garden September 2, 2021
Upon first inspection of this photo, you might be wondering if I’ve lost my mind. The tomato hornworm is not a beneficial in your garden. They can do extreme damage to tomato, pepper and eggplants in a matter of hours, destroying en entire plant within days. Definitely not good, especially when you’ve been salivating over […]

Yellowjackets squanders a Nat-centered episode with inert subplots December 6, 2021
Moving the plot forward is not necessary for a great episode of television—see: Breaking Bad’s “Fly,” Atlanta’s “Teddy Perkins,” Community’s “Cooperative Calligraphy.” But four episodes in, an inert episode of Yellowjackets is a sad thing to behold.Read more...

How can they possibly bring back…Read more...

Homeless in Winter December 5, 2021

More rock climbing at the Indian Bread Rocks Recreation Area December 6, 2021
After a late breakfast, I headed towards what I call "picnic rock" to see what kind of sights I could see in the midmorning light.I didn't see anything up top that I'd not already captured yesterday. However, from there I saw another small hill with a somewhat flat rocky outcropping. It was close by so […]

Flash-Forward Preambles: What, How, and When October 16, 2021
Updated BelowFor various reasons, recently I got a little obsessed with flash-forward movie and television preambles. That is, presentations that begin with a scene from later in the story, and then spend some amount of screen time catching up to the “later” scene that came at the start. How much catch-up varies. Sometimes the catch-up […]

Comparing Mint Plants: Spearmint, Apple & Chocolate April 23, 2020
Mint is a reasonably cold-hardy perennial, meaning it grows back every year under the right conditions. Just like there are many different kinds of tomatoes (cherry, beefsteak, roma, etc.), there are plenty different varieties of mint, too. Here’s an overview comparison of three different kinds of mints that grow well for me in Anchorage, Alaska: […]

Chickens Laying Eggs in the Winter April 4, 2020
Do chickens still lay eggs in the winter? That’s a common question many curious poultry lovers ask me. The answer? It depends. Egg laying chickens will naturally taper off and cease egg production in winter months, assuming you live somewhere that gets darker in winter months than summer. In Alaska, where our winter months might […]

Birding Walk to Crescent Harbor December 4, 2021
Chilly and cool, partly to mostly cloudy. Snow continued to accumulate overnight, with 8 inches on my deck rail this morning. Connor later told me he measured 11 inches on his work table in the yard. Much of the morning had blue skies over the house, though the sun was too low to be showing […]

Wintry Walk around Town December 3, 2021
Snow showers and calmer winds with temperatures near freezing through the day. Overnight the snow began accumulating, and continued through the day. Several inches covered the ground by this evening. It seemed unusually quiet when I woke up this morning. Living right on a main road in Sitka, I’m used to hearing traffic noise during […]
