If you haven't read/listened to James by Percival Everett, do it now. It is a profound, life-altering masterpiece of a book. Reimagining Huck Finn from Jim’s perspective, it is sharp, brilliant, and devastating - one of my top 10 books of all time. 📖✨🛶 #BookSky #PercivalEverett

I feel like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde when I go from reading news originating in the US vs the Middle East, or even Europe. This President is spewing layers of lies so deep he can’t keep his story straight - unchallenged, unhinged lies.

Juneau has nearly broken the all-time record snowfall. The kids celebrated making the 3rd highest snowfall ever by sledding down out 9’+ pile of snow in our front yard. There is a fence and then a ditch, it you can’t even tell.

The word clutch is now used to describe something that is amazing, perfectly timed, or just “cool”. Yet most kids these days will never drive a car using a clutch. They’ll never appreciate the skill required to pull away from a stop on a steep hill, or pop the clutch to start w/a dead battery.

Is it me, or is the USPS delivery in Alaska getting slower and less reliable than ever? It’s now taking 2 weeks for my first class bills to be delivered, inside the state. A year ago it took 1 week. www.juneauindependent.com/post/report-...

Report: Alaska has worst on-time package deliveries by USPS this year, but best first-class mail service

A fact I can’t shake this week: Neither of the World Wars held their namesake that until they were years into the conflict. The people living inside those first few years ID’d those conflicts as less than a WW. I feel like I can identify with that perspective in a way I never could before.

My oldest son will be 18 next year. He is terrified about this war and the people making the decisions that could change his life. Tonight we talked through all his options. He learned about conscientious objectors like Muhammad Ali, as well as many other choices he can make. Knowledge is power.

When I was young and idealistic, I used to believe we were the good guys. Patriotism lifted our grandfathers and fathers when they returned from war. Those medals meant something. Now I’m not sure whether our nation has fallen, or my eyes have been opened. Either way - we are not the good guys.

The race is on to see who will respond first. Will it be Murkowsk’s concern about taking military action against Iran without congressional approval, or Sullivan’s support of the maximum pressure policy? Begich will be silent, and no one we’ll take action, but a race is a race, right?

Aurora in Juneau, Alaska, 1/20/26. At 5:15 a.m. I woke up my 13-year-old. We went outside and stood, awestruck as the shapes danced and pulsated above our heads. We marveled at how small and connected we both felt to universe. It was a beautiful way to start the day.

This could be one of the best nights for Aurora since the massive solar storm of 1989. This solar flare has the potential to impact power grids, wireless service, GPS, and other electrical devices.

If SNAP is not funded Saturday, the US will likely see an uptick in shoplifting and misdemeanor theft. When food stamps go away, parents will do whatever they can to feed their families. Young people will find and take food. Babies and children will suffer far more than the adults.

There’s a reason that protests against Alaska Senator Dan Sullivan are rare. It’s because Dan hides from publicly addressing his constituents in any number vs meeting people who are screened to be agreeable or have money or resources they’re willing to trade.
