Out in Dutch......from the police bloter:

21 November, Wednesday

0140 - Assistance Rendered – Taxi driver reported that an unidentified young man had for the third time failed to pay his cab fare. The driver did not wish to pursue charges and simply wanted the young miscreant told that his actions are unappreciated.

More from Dutch:

13 November, Tuesday
0125 - Suspicious Person/Activity – An amorous bloke who in a misguided attempt to attract a mate placed his genitals on full, flapping display in the roadway instead caught the attention of a passing police officer. The luckless lad was allowed to leave without charges since the intended victim couldn’t be offended by what she couldn’t see.

Wow.

99.9999% of people would have "lost their head," panicked and died. That's a tough old bird.

Looks like some good ice.

Not too often do you see a big rack like that walking in traffic. Nice photo thør.

I assume he was issued a citation for traveling in the wrong direction on what appears to be a one-way street.

Stolen from The Alaska Life, I think. I went to HS with the owner of one of the businesses in the pic.

He was on his way to REI. Everyone needs shit from REI. Cops gave him a pass.

Particulate pollution levels again are highest in nation.

This headline isn't from Anchorage, it's from Fairbanks. I'd much rather see people in the 'Banks burning natural gas than wood in winter. I don't care how 'green' wood burning is, it's far from clean.

I think we have four hours up here. It is too cold to go outside anyway....

He'll get to grow for a few years as long as he stays off the roads.

My high school chemistry teacher has passed away.

He was quite a guy.

He built this little place out in the woods.

I like to read an obituary of a life passionately lived. Like his name too.
