This despondent looking crew are the drawn from the various Scandanavian, German, and Irish families settled in or near Wadena, Minnesota during the late 1800s. Wadena, located in the west-central part of the state, was (and is) a pretty small town, so some of these kids probably had an epic daily commute, by foot, from […]

Wrong Airship September 24, 2023
In reply to Akron (?) Over Washington: 1932: That's the Los Angeles (ZR-3), not the Akron. Comparing photos of the two make that obvious. The Akron may have been in the same area at the time but it's not in this picture. [The Akron and Los Angeles overflew Washington on November 2, 1931. However the […]

In reply to Akron (?) Over Washington: 1932: Looks like the Los Angeles, but not the Akron or Macon. The engine pods give it away. Engines on the Akron and Macon were internal with drive shafts out to the props.

Tuscan Lemon Chicken September 23, 2023

We focus on what we can’t do rather than do something different, and yet changing directions may bring up new opportunities and open new doors. A needed change, a ‘turning point’ in a novel, a ‘momentum shift’ in tennis games, a […]

Identifying Devil’s Club Plant August 10, 2023
Devil’s Club is a common wild plant in Alaska that’s large & covered in hidden sharp thorns, growing everywhere from remote forests to even well-groomed Anchorage city trails. Just because you’re “in town” doesn’t mean you won’t run into devil’s club. It’s smart to stay on the trails, particularly if you’re not confident spotting it. […]
