What I (no, not me) learned cleaning up a homeless camp

""It’s a national problem,” the mayor often says as he passes the buck when asked about the homeless problem."

I don't recall a huge mass of homeless people in Anchorage when I was a kid. Someday, I'll have to look at the statistics to see if I was just sheltered. Us kids would of certainly run into these camps as we petty much explored every nook and cranny of the Anchorage bowl on our bikes. You can go a long way on a bike when you leave about 8a and have to be home "before dinner".

Today.

It's the coming of the dark ages. The MatSu School board just banned the following:

The Things They Carried - by Tim O’Brien
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings - by Maya Angelou
Catch-22 - by Joseph Heller
The Invisible Man - by Ralph Ellison
The Great Gatsby - by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Portugal. The Man offers to buy any student, parent a copy of banned books

It'll green up in a few weeks.

Dmitri said they were delivering to Montreal. Likely, they were out of vodka with the pandemic.

Unfortunately, on their return trip there was a bomb scare at TSAIA and they had to divert to Fairbanks to get fuel for that beast. You'd think that there'd be room in that plane to strap on a couple jerry cans for longer trips. It was made to carry the Russian space shuttle.
