So a subtle K disguised as a sneaky Q.

Like Nuiqsut or Qipneq.

Like Nuiqsut or Qipneq.

Wiki has it as Kipnuk. That seems a bit less sneaky than Nuisquit or Utqiagvik.

It's Qipneq on the school's basketball jerseys.

I'll go with the locals over wiki. Wiki did mention the other spelling and the native language it belonged to. So I'll give them credit for that.

LOL, let's hope the people filling out the wiki have actually been to the village.

Most of the data is sourced from the census bureau.

The bacon and pancakes were great.

The Iditarod start is on the TV.

It's snowing.

Life is good.

That time of the year.

 

[trysail]

That time of the year.

Dear old NPR mentioned that the race started today and that parts of the course (and Alaska) are up to its eyeballs in snow (going so far as to report that there were some sections where teams will effectively go through what amounts to passageways).


Naturally, the NPR website doesn't have a transcript of that report (but does, of course, have the transcript of a report that Germany has had a mild winter).



​

 

[thør]

Plenty of snow. The winter was kinda warm until the new year hit. Then, it wasn't.

Competent engineers will account for potential cold winters and warm winters in their designs.
