Really glad I got the chance to meet Mary Peltola @marypeltola.com today. She’s thoughtful, grounded, and deeply connected to the people and communities that make Alaska what it is. This election matters. If you want leaders who will actually show up for Alaskans, make a plan to #vote

I #voted today in the #Alaska primary. Still a few hours left Alaskans. Go make your voice heard.

Looks like another good couple of weeks for indoor productivity on the horizon. Spring break next week for the kids. Actual spring, summer.. A single day of bluesky and some warmth, I am ready when you are.

Today with the nice bluesky, I had the construction crew get to work on building out the new house. Some days are just fun.

One nice thing about small town Alaska. plenty of quiet time to learn something new. What’s the last new skill you tried learning completely from scratch?

One of my favorite short videos I took near my home on an island in #Alaska during the #Salmon run in late August. 4 #blackbears stopped by in the time I watched, and none went hungry. If there is enough interest I'll post the others. #bear, #nature, #fish, #summer, #forest, #coastal #PNW

Snow just started on west Prince of Wales Island. Predicting 5-8inchs. This is what I get for not checking the weather while scheduling this week.

What's the coolest thing you have found beach combing? Mine is this glass float on the remote Warren island, Alaska in Dona Juana cove.
Intact blue Japanese float wrapped in green thread, barnacles growing on glass. Sitting on display on granite counter. Found on remote beach in SE Alaska on Warren Island.

I lost and regained power 4 times last night. Quite the stormy night on my sleepy island. Will be curious to see if we had any more landslides when the sun comes up.

So happy to have aurora already active in 2025! Here’s aurora road back in February of 2023. With the only bit of naked eye orange I’ve ever seen at bottom right. Which lasted a whopping 4-5 seconds max.

Two of my favorite photos from spring. My youngest is so curious, we were checking tidepools, and she found a starfish and some small hermit crabs and decided to join them with zero hesitation. The only thing that topped it was when she decided "mom" had to carry her home. #alaska, #adventure, #kids
