On The Richardson Highway--Fairbanks to Delta



On the Richardson Highway heading south from Fairbanks--about nine in the morning. We encountered a stretch of fog along the Tanana River south of Eielson AFB. You can see the first of it in the distance.



From the Tanana Valley, the closest peaks of the Alaska Range---Mt. Hayes, Mt. Hess and Mt. Deborah-- wear a fresh coat of snow. The first snow of the season is known as "termination dust" and paints a ruler-straight line across the slopes.

Good-Bye to a Favorite "Uncle"

I didn't agree with his politics but never doubted his love of Alaska and his commitment to bettering our state.

I found this photo of him on the web a few years ago and it charmed me, giving me a different perspective on the crusty old Senator.



Good-bye, Uncle Ted--and thanks for your public service.

Space-Age Technology

I was clearing off Denny's end of the kitchen counter a while back and happened upon a small box labelled: Borg Warner.

And I thought to myself, well, if this indeed is a Borg warner, shouldn't we have it installed someplace where we will see it when the Borg approach?

So I put it in the entry.
