Big congratulations to Janice Park who won the midtown Anchorage assembly seat by 26 votes after a recount. The Assembly now has only one conservative member, and for the first time in recent memory the school board is 100% progressive.

Every time something scandalous comes out of Washington DC, we hear, “Oh, everyone knew that he was a player” or “all the staffers knew not to be alone with him” or whatever. If “everyone knew” why didn’t they tell the rest of us? These people need to stop protecting each other.

I’m not a fan of Noem or Bondi, but it’s interesting that he’s only firing the women, not Patel, Kegseth, Miller or any of the other embarrassing cabinet members or staff. Typical.

Capt. Curtis Angst, 30, a native of Wilmington, Ohio, was one of the six Air Force personnel shot down over Iraq on the 14th. Wilmington is where I was born and where my Quaker ancestors settled a couple centuries ago. Curtis graduated from Wilmington High School⬇️

A bit breezy in Anchorage this afternoon. Luckily the top of our neighbor’s dead trees didn’t land on our house this time, just the back yard. He was supposed to cut these down three years ago when the top of the other tree landed on our deck.

So first they eliminate the easier-to-read font that helps the vision-impaired, and now they want to do away with the sign-language interpreters of Trump’s “speeches”who aid the hearing-impaired. Who benefits from this? What’s the purpose other than meanness?

Per Rick Knecht on Facebook: “The Nunalleq site got hit hard by last weekend's typhoon, losing at least 60 feet to the sea. Much of this area hadn't been excavated yet and artifacts have been scattered for miles down the beach. Many thanks are due to the good people of Quinhagak who have recovered⬇️

Some of the Alaska Native corporations (looking at you, NANA) need to get their priorities straight. They should be helping their fellow Alaskans instead of making huge profits on detention centers.

We’re flying back to Alaska tomorrow after a two-week vacation in Montana, western Dakotas and northeast Wyoming. We saw one ranch in North Dakota that had Trump flags about every hundred feet along the fence line next to the highway, but that was the only indication that Trump even existed. ⬇️
