Dad went out moose hunting tonight, mom came home and didn't know he was hunting so she texted him asking if he fed Powder. Took him a while to respond, meanwhile Powder was acting like she was starving... ...ten minutes after mom fed her dad finally texted back Powder'd already been fed.

He's barking at birds and bunnies tonight. 🙄🤦‍♀️

Finally got to the Sebastian Stan episode in my Law & Order rewatch... ...no way does he pass for a 14/15 year old kid. LOL Like 20 year old baby face is very young looking but not THAT young looking.

It's 30° at my house, time to focus on blogging... ...which this morning means "researching" by way of race documentaries.

At this rate im gonna need to set up a money campaign to keep the peanut feeder full. 🥴

Watching ABC's 9-11 special tonight. I know it's gonna be a squeaky clean feel good and some find those... not great... but I love them and to remember the good parts isn't a bad thing.

1. Alaska doesn’t have the infrastructure to support a growing military presence. 2. Alaska doesn’t have the infrastructure to support the people who are already here.

Military leaders, lawmakers, and industry leaders gathered in Fairbanks last week to talk about what Alaska would need to support a growing military presence. (From KUAC - Fairbanks)

I need to get up and get ready for work, but...

Alaska's gov race updates: Begich's out, backing JKT Treg Taylor's out because the rules DO apply to him (but maybe his LT is still in the race?) Republicans are still holding out hope for a GOP consolidation #akelect

Today was eat outside day. I did not eat outside, I don't plan to eat dinner outside.... did anyone celebrate the day?

Are Statler and Waldorf (Muppets) just the older version of Bert and Ernie?

I did not take a protein out of the freezer to make something for dinner bc I couldn't decide what I wanted. It's now close to dinner making time and I still have no idea what to make... I need ot make something to have leftovers for this week's meals after work. *sigh*

They finally got here. Stitch gave up and went to bed. Sound on to hear the reunion. My alarm system turned on while this whole thing happened so I had to interrupt filming to stop it. 🤣

Humidity 90% but the air is dry? 🤔

oh just me crying at the same scene I always cry at during Steel Magnolias. Sally Field and that wail, amirite?

Dad just called to tell me he met the team/coach today in Cooper Landing. Said he gave the coach a high five bc "we're Kenai fans." Old rivalries die hard. *facepalm*

Its 80° in my living room this evening so I had to open up windows and doors to get some air moving. Which means someone has a new spot to watch from.

"The older you get the sillier you get." "The older YOU get the uglier YOU get."

I just love him so much! [Alt- black pug with lots of grey on his face, looking very squishy as he sleeps in the recliner]

Democrat Tom Begich has suspended his campaign and endorsed fellow Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, clearing the way for him to face 3 Republicans. He says it doesn’t make sense for them to fight over the same votes and the same resources when they have such similar visions. #akleg #akelect

Reading the daily headline out of DC and what ol donald dumbutt has come up with now... I feel more and more like David's crashout in Independence Day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=APjf...
