the race for africa -- 11/30/21 November 30, 2021
Today's selection -- from Merchant Kings by Stephen R. Bown. In the late 1800s, the great fear of the English was that other European countries would beat them in conquering and taking African territories and their presumed mineral wealth: "[In the late 1800s] the race for Africa was on, and the European powers were searching for […]
disparaging “the establishment” -- 11/29/21 November 29, 2021
Today's selection -- from Inside Money by Zachary Karabell. In the 1950s, leaders on Wall Street, in Washington, DC, and at America’s largest companies were esteemed. But with the escalation of the Vietnam War in the 1960s, these same positions of leadership were indicted in the popular imagination, and referred to pejoratively as “the Establishment”: "The […]

WASP Final Flight

Lucile Doll Wise, 43-7 | August 2, 2018 August 17, 2018
"Jacqueline Cochran was looking for WASP. They told me I would have to be interviewed and they would contact me when they came to the Wichita area. But I didn’t wait for that. I went down to Houston for my interview, to speed things up. And I think that’s one of the smartest things I […]

Today we travel back in time to the 1960s for a tour around some of the Cable Car networks in San Francisco, CA. The streets are filled with domestic and foreign autos, and trucks and portions of this film were shot on Cable Cars and the roadways. There is an interesting mix of vehicles to...

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 […]

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 […]

Kirsten Dunst on how Allison Janney taught her to play a convincing drunk November 30, 2021
In Netflix’s new awards contender, The Power Of The Dog, Kirsten Dunst plays Rose Gordon, a woman so terrorized by Benedict Cumberbatch’s asshole cowboy that she turns to the bottle. As Dunst told us in the video interview below, though, the actual way she learned to play drunk is pretty surprising.Read more...

The 10 most outrageous moments from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia November 30, 2021
If provocative comedy was an Olympic sporting event, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia would get extra credit for degree of difficulty. The series gleefully, and with deceptive skill, cannonballs into the fetid community pool that is Paddy’s Pub, the decrepit and improbably still solvent Philly bar from which Dee…Read more...

Riz Ahmed has bugs on the brain in the disappointing genre mishmash Encounter November 30, 2021
In the opening minutes of Encounter, a mosquito-like creature pierces its proboscis through a protective layer of human skin, going deep into flesh and blood. The little bug the attacker deposits inside its victim scuttles along vessels, burrows through connective tissue, and then explodes, jettisoning particles of…Read more...

Did Covid Change My Life for the Better? November 28, 2021
Yes, you read that right. After receiving both vaccinations in early 2021 and adhering to the suggested scientific data, Covid caught up with me anyway. Did I get sloppy? Maybe. I was in three different, public places within days of each other. But here’s the skinny – getting Covid may have changed my life for […]

Who’s Ready for Christmas 2021? November 27, 2021
Christmas is, and has always been, my favorite time of the year, especially when there were young children in the family who still believed in the jolly old elf. Back in those days, we had a ritual. Part of it was attending the Santa Claus parade, decorating the tree, participating in the church Christmas pageant, […]

Visiting Fort Huachuca's Museums November 28, 2021
All these years, I thought Huachuca, the name of the Army Post located in Sierra Vista, AZ and home of the Army's Military Intelligence Branch meant Dirty Water.Dirty Water you ask? Huachuca, sounded a lot to me as: Agua Chuca which is Spanish for Dirty Water you see.Well, today I learned otherwise. It's actually from […]

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 […]

Kashevaroff Mountain April 6, 2019

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 […]

Road Trip: One Amazing Thing November 1, 2021
I started writing a post titled “Human beings do amazing things,” and I was telling you all about the amazing things encountered on this trip: art, museum exhibits, architecture, theater, food. But there was just too much. It got boring: This great thing, that great thing, oh and another great thing.So I’m just going to […]

Road Trip First Stop: Logistics October 24, 2021

Malnourished launches today January 21, 2020
It’s here. The big day. My memoir, the one I spent 15 years struggling over, launches today from Raised Voice Press. I’m feeling very exposed, very vulnerable. This is not at all similar to when Dolls Behaving Badly launched from Hachette Book Group. That was a novel, and while some of it was based on… […]

Book review: Secondhand Summer by Dan Walker December 1, 2019
I had had Alaska writer Dan Walker’s YA novel SECONDHAND SUMMER on my list for a long time, and two weeks ago finally had the chance to dive in. I wasn’t disappointed. Walker’s book, geared for middle school readers (but still immensely enjoyable for adults), follows 14-year-old Sam’s move to Anchorage from the small fishing… […]

Chilly West Wind and Loons November 29, 2021
Snow showers continuing with temperatures right near freezing, so more accumulation. West wind was chilly. I checked the channel and saw a Red-throated Loon and Pacific Loon not too far from each other. As I watched, the Pacific Loon swam towards the coast guard dock, and the Red-throated Loon followed a bit behind. I decided […]

Snowy Cross Trail Loop November 28, 2021
Warmer (into upper 30s) and less windy today, but precipitation still fell mostly as snow. This afternoon I walked a loop to Indian River and along the cross trail back to Baranof Street. I felt motivated in part by a desire to document coho salmon for the year. Connor said he saw a couple in […]
