One easily forgets just how damn big those engines were/are.

What gives with the photo? Does this have something to do with the Japanese invasion of the Aleutians?

Just some round engine birds sitting on the tarmac in the rain before it turned to snow.
 
*thinks about the rough times that Alaska has had, this year*

This quote caught my attention-

"Jentry has lived in Circle for nine years and has never seen flooding like this. Her home flooded with 2 to 3 feet of water,
but she was able to evacuate her five sled dogs and two house dogs before the water hit by keeping watch on the slough
in front of her house. When chunks of ice showed up in the slough, she made preparations to evacuate, rounded up her dogs,
and headed to the post office, where she expects to spend the night."

BETHEL -- Hard to believe in food-short Western Alaska, but the May 8 edition of The Delta Discovery [2] in Bethel featured a photograph of a moose and calf killed and abandoned along the Kuskokwim River northeast of the community of about 6,000.

The photo was supplied by Harry Faulkner Jr., who submitted a letter to the editor of the local newspaper saying he and his wife were on a snowmachine trip upriver when "we ran smack dab into a sad sight of the senseless kind.

"There on the riverbank above Kalskag (a village of 210 people about 350 miles west of Anchorage) lay a dead cow and calf moose shot dead and left to rot.''

Faulkner then shared an opinion likely felt by all Alaskans -- sport, subsistence and trophy hunters as well as non-hunters.

"My first thought was, and still is, pure anger at the person that would do this to our primary meat source. This made no sense to me."

Moose are not abundant along the Kusko, in part because of past overhunting. There have been tight restrictions on hunting in an effort to boost the numbers. A hunter for 40 years on the deltas of the Kuskokwim and Yukon rivers, Faulkner noted he personally had "hunted the lower Yukon for the past six years to comply with the much-needed (hunt) moratorium."

He wondered if Kusko moose populations will ever recover if random shootings like this continue to take place.

Law enforcement authorities investigate most of these wanton shootings of wildlife in Alaska, but charges are rarely brought because it’s difficult to identify the shooters.

Faulkner wrote that he suspects "this crime was committed by a young punk (on a) joyride that has no respect for the food chain and was not raised properly."
