Thanks for the information. Guess being a woman over 55, using cabs to get around on 6 of the 7 continents, leaves me just ignorant of what the taxi experience is like.

GPS is not the be-all-and-end-all for navigation. I know folks who have gotten lost depending on it. I live in a city where even Google Maps is notoriously unreliable. And what happens if the unit craps out? Or there is road construction? Or road closures due to bad weather? I prefer drivers who actually know their…

Nope. No thanks. I’ll stick to the taxi service where the drivers actually know their way around my berg without Google. Interesting that I’ve never had, or heard of, a rape threat from those drivers, and since I don’t drive, I use cabs alot.

FYI: Alaska just became the first state in the country to declare the second Monday in October “Idigenous People’s Day.” That’s for the whole state, not just individual communities. No more “Columbus Day” for us. We also ditched “Groundhog Day” a while back because we don’t have groundhogs here. It’s “Marmot Day.”

I actually would rather be a rebel versus being a slave. All day. Every day. For the remainer of my days.

I don’t spend a lot of time looking up actors’ ancestry, because life. He’s a working actor who has played a lot of Latino characters over the years. Putting Ms. Fey on blast for an understandable, and probably common, mistake seems a bit click baity. More importantly, the man does not age! I’ve been watching…

Actually, yes

.357’s weren’t recommended bear protection in my shooting class. A .44 was, or a .30-06. I don’t carry but I usually am with someone who does. The most important thing is to actually know your weapon. If you haven’t been to the range recently, leave it locked up at home. The last thing you want in a bear encounter is…

Part of a former gig of mine included giving lots of bear safety lectures. Yes, this woman made mistakes, but unless you have been close to a bear, you have no idea how much adrenaline starts pumping through your body - which can lead to errors in judgement. She’s fine, which is important. Unfortunately, that bear…

Bullshat. Caling it now. a bunch of “progressives” are all to happy to jump on Bernie Sanders’s very White Savior dick and are ignrings some very very basic facts regardng our former Secretary of State. Because she does not not posses a penis.

Since I do not have unlimited time, if my travel arrangements are going to be complicated, I go to the local travel agency. Basic rule of thumb: figure out what an hour of your time is worth, figure out how long it will take to research and finalize your plans, go with the option that will cost you less time/money. I…

Step off, hussy!! He’s mine!! Plus, I have Pumpkin Cider and popcorn!

Who is that delicous, delicous, brother??????

No worries. I can be very useful when little kids want to know why the sky is blue (Physical Geography 101), can explain the causes behind the Soweto Riots (Geography of Language), how Malaysia became a Muslim nation (Geography of Religion), how the Badlands were formed (Advanced Arid Land Geomorphology), and how to…

I really need to listen to the little voice that says: “Stop reading. Now. You read three sentences, you gave it a fair shot. You know this will not get better. Or go anywhere. And you have over-due library books that you actually like reading.”

Got my degree in Geography. Area of concentration: Arid Lands Geomorphology. Most practical thing I studied in college. Also, the only department with both a math and foreign language requirement.

It has been a blast having him here. What most Outsiders don’t understand is that while we are a uber-conservative Red state in many ways, we are first and foremost, Alaskan. Having the President here and not just in Las Anchorage means alot to us.

Ugly is as ugly does. And you’ve done nothing pretty here.

I lasted 1:08. Now I need “Court & Spark” to get rid of it.
