A beautiful, but sad morning here in Seward. A small boat capsized yesterday in Aialik Bay with 4 people on board. I listened to the Coast Guard coordinating the search late into the evening.

Petersburg, Alaska’s Little Norway Festival, where we close the street to cars and drop an actual iceberg in front of the pot shop #syttendemai

Our goofy dog's way of telling us how much she loves us. The happier Nika is, the louder she gets :) #DogsOfMastodon #WhosAGoodDog

A close up video of our black and white Malamute, Nika, being cradled in my wifes lap. Nika is growling and baring her teeth to show she's very happy.

Spring is drunk here in Bear Valley! It's really coming down, and it was snowing down low, so just maybe we'll break the record after all. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #MyAlaskaWx #Snow #WinterIsNotOver

Shadowy trees and tire tracks leading up our driveway during a pretty heavy spring snowfall.
The buds on the trees were just starting to burst open up here. They might have been a bit optimistic.

A gorgeous day for a long run at Fourth of July beach in Seward, AK. Nika is a happy doggo. #Alaska #Seward #DogsOfMastodon

Mount Hunter and Denali on the far horizon with darkening orange sunset light behind them. A sliver of silver water from the Knik Arm in the center of the frame, with city lights visible in the center foreground. The silhoette of spruce trees frame the city lights.

One of the benefits of round trips to Seward to work on the boat are scenes like this. It never gets old, and every drive is different. The light on the mountains is magical. #Alaska #Seward #Mountains #LandscapePhotography #ChugachMountains #SewardHighway

Dramatic patches of light on a steep mountain slope and snow field in the Chugach Mountains.

A long, successful day getting the old engine out of the boat. Used a forklift and chain hoists to carefully lift it out of the engine bay and slide it out of the window just behind that yellow buoy. That was interesting 😉
Had a mama and calf moose right behind the boat for most of the afternoon supervising. #Alaska #BoatLife #Seward

The bright red old damaged engine rests on wooden blocks on a trailer bed after being removed from the boat.
A cow and calf moose search for tree limbs to eat in the little creek just behind our boat.

35 years ago today, the Exxon Valdez had a "minor" drunk driving accident that changed our state. Not a single mention on the ADN website. Never forget. #Alaska #ExxonValdez #Oil

This Sunday is the 35th Anniversary of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill. Don't let this slip from our collective memory.

“How long?” said Rep. Kevin McCabe, R-Big Lake, who took aim at districts that had been banking on an increase to cover multi-million-dollar shortfalls. “How long are we going to continue to throw money at a business — and school districts are a business. How long are we going to throw money at a business and not get a return on investment? How can you use hope as a business strategy?” This mentality is what education funding is up against in Alaska.

Y'all, you know @seachanger for her take threads that are second to none 😂 (seriously tho we love them), but check out this gorgeous essay she wrote. I read it a few days ago and haven't really stopped thinking about it. Thanks, Malena.

#Trump's allies are selling out #Ukraine in exchange for #Russia backing in the election.

A Trump victory in November would finish off US democracy.

And a Russian victory in Ukraine would doom freedom generally.

If this minority coalition of international fascists wins in 2024, life will be rotten for everyone else indefinitely.

If you want a chance to live in a decent world, you've got half a year to act.
