Moose, stewed, roasted, as sausage or burger, graces the table of many Alaskans. Hunting for meat, here in rural Alaska, is mare than just a "thing". For many, it means how well you live through the winter, how well your children eat, how far your money goes for other things like fuel oil for heat, electricity. You…

This is a workhorse of a printer.

I live in Alaska and regularly fly in small airplanes to remote villages. That video is not sever turbulence, a little bumpy I grant, but did the movie stop playing? Did anyone turn their head to the look out the window see the ground rushing up or the snow capped mountain top look uncomfortably close as the plane…

What a vapid and stupid species we are. Some days I believe that extinction would be a relief.

"Space is hard..."

"God's Word..." I always love that. Which version of His word?

So... when does the speculation on the break up and inevitable messy divorce begin?

Oh yes, poverty is a moral failing, so therefor it's only just punishment for the sinful. That was a real big conventional wisdom the '90's. The 1890's. Glad to see that Stein's keeping up.

No, no, no. Way too complicated. You need a good cast iron pan and some kosher salt. Heat the cast iron pan until it is hot, very hot. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of salt in the pan. Turn on any stove ventilation you have and put your steak in the pan. I like mine rare so for a inch thick steak, it's about a couple of…

"A Member of the Wedding" and the short story "A Rocking Horse Winner"
