Sitkans lost a hero today. Burgess Bauder was so loved we had bumper-stickers that say "What would Burgess do?". He will be greatly missed. Here's a lovely piece done by Rob Woolsey a few months ago. www.kcaw.org/tag/burgess-...

We also need to close loopholes like trusts, mega-yachts, tax-shelters, real estate holdings, political donations, and such.

I truly see your argument, and I agree. We should not tax people on the margin. A fair tax structure is critical. Wealthy individuals, corporations, and the rest all need to be taxed at a much higher rate than the rest.

There are a lot worse things than paying taxes for healthcare, schools, roads, and the like. Alaskans are always the first at the federal trough and last to tax themselves.

Salmon have returned to Redoubt Falls near Sitka in massive numbers. Thank you to all that helped make this happen.

So happy to have our first chinook (king) salmon aboard. This 17lb male was reeled in expertly by Dave on his special lure. He was thrilled, and we were very well fed. Thank you Pacific Ocean.

Southeast Alaska. A boat outboard on your flatbed sorta makes sense here.

We keep finding potatoes that overwintered in our garden here in Sitka. Way better than easter eggs. Unless of course they are dark chocolate.

I couldn't believe it either. Snorkeling in Tahiti and they were absolutely everywhere. So incredible. Each one seems to be trying to out dress the others.

Kayaking in winter in Sitka is a thing. Some perfect days out with the whales. The herring are spawning and there are bubble-netting humpbacks, as well as grey whales in the Sound right now.

Well the hard part seems to be accepting others and treating them as we wish to be treated... Maybe someday. Maybe some day.

Postcards from French Polynesia. Still a paradise. We were thrilled to find intact coral reefs, lots of fish, uncrowded beaches, and a proud thriving Native culture.

So this is Tahiti; Huahine, actually. And yes. Pretty much paradise.

Oh dear. I once had a taxi driver in Fairbanks pull out his aluminum foil hat for when he drove past the HAARP facility because 'they were altering his brainwaves'. Just leaving this here...

From Micheal Graney: "Hey kayakers! We are on for Saturday paddle! If you need gear, kayak, paddle, spray skirt and PFD please come to the shop at 9:15-9:30 - 1490 Seward Ave just in front of the CG Station." Feb 14th at the Sitka Maritime Heritage Society Boathouse on Japonski Island.

What are your "honey-don'ts"? Things you've gotten a pass on after screwing it up the first time. My partial list is: Cutting her hair, making the bed, baking, frosting said baking, putting away the Christmas ornaments, accounting...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I know we have a lot of work to do, and recently a lot we aren't thankful for, but I am very happy to be surrounded by a community on folks trying to make life better for people, animals, and the environment.

Dear Roger Barton, I am writing to end my relationship and patronage of Outdoor Research. After seeing photos of ICE and/or CPB "agents" proudly wearing OR gear, I am no longer willing to support your company as it assists in the continued tyranny and dictatorial take-over of our cities and towns.

I found that the car doesn't have any tiedown spots, so we had to make due with the fender cuts. 😄

Occasionally something really catches your attention. This graphic novel of a story on the bears of Japan is worthy of a read. Wow. www.reuters.com/graphics/JAP...

Bear attacks are rising in Japan. Aging hunters are on the front line.
Japan is grappling with increasing conflict between humans and wild bears, prompting calls for officials to rethink how they manage the risks.
