Today in Anchorage

Just think of the profits to be made!

It likely costs 8 bucks in shipping costs just to get it up there.

You don't start from the price point, you start from the delivered cost and then put your OH, G&A and Profit on top. It's probably mailed to Barrow on bypass mail, so it should really cost about $20/gallon.

The alternative of powdered milk is just gross. I wonder if raising a goat for milk is more or less money to buy feed for than the cost of flying in milk.

'Aquajoring'

8 dogs was too many, 6 dogs was just right.

They'd have to have a big surge of speed to get someone up to start out.

I dunno, but would be something to look at.

Only 18h 07m, now. That's sunrise to sunset. Civil twilight is almost 21 hours.

Do you go to bed while it is still light outside?

I do.

That blows my mind.

I'm sure you are used to it. I don't know if I could live in a place that has such long days. Seems it would mess with the rythym of your internal body clock.

It's great if you're not tied to a job.

To quote Carly:

I remember a time, rompin' through the woods
Sun against our skin instead of clothes
When we felt hungry we would eat, when we felt glad we would dance
And whenever we felt drowsy we would doze.

I wouldn't wear my drysuit out dip netting. Boots and oilskin pants are for fishing.

I've no problem sleeping with just regular curtains. I believe there tends to be more go go go in the summer and hibernation and recovery in the winter with the shorter days.

That also could be why I fell asleep during the previews at Despicable Me and well into an hour of the movie today.

As if anyone has to wonder why the Norwegians are so tough to beat on the XC ski course.

That's Astrid Jacobsen of Norway doing dryland training in Anchorage last Thursday.

She was having training difficulties, so her mom, the doc diagnosed a gluten allergy. Dropping gluten from her diet has made her stronger.
