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 […]

Short but sweet? December 2, 2021
In reply to Twelfth and G: 1901: I'm wild about the couple in the foreground, her hitching up her skirts, him staring imperiously at either the camera or the person wielding it. Neither of them can be above five foot two! But he's so dapper and she's so smart. In contrast height-wise, the couple across […]

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 […]

Netflix is making a film about the grandma who went viral for inviting a stranger to her Thanksgiving dinner December 3, 2021

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 […]

Slushy Gray Day December 1, 2021
Heavy overcast and calm around town. Despite temperatures in the upper 30s to 40F, heavier showers included a mix of snow. Roads were in reasonable condition today, especially compared with Sunday night. However, overall snow seemed slow to melt. The dim gray light and snain/slush falling from the sky early this afternoon were not especially […]

Crescent Harbor Birds November 30, 2021
Winds out of the south or southeast, and warmer temperatures as the day went on. What little precipitation fell during daylight hours was snow, but it shifted to a light rain later. Higher temperatures were not sufficient to keep the wind from feeling biting on my walk this morning. I decided to check out Crescent […]
