Now, to cleanse your feeds of that despicable POS, I give you Miss Walrus baby in her favorite construction hat today at Alaska SeaLife Center. She is so freaking cute! #Alaska #AlaskaSeaLifeCenter #RescuedWalrusBaby

@npub1zse…307r Nope! I felt safer in the woods with that bear than I would with a guy I don't know. Fact! There are trails I won't hike by myself because I don't feel safe and it has zero to do with bears.

Well, isn't that special? JFC!
"An off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot who tried to shut off the engines during a flight on Sunday told investigators that he thought he was having a nervous breakdown at the time and had consumed psychedelic mushrooms, court documents said.
In an interview with the police after he was taken into custody, the pilot, Joseph D. Emerson, 44, said he had not slept in 40 hours and had been depressed for about six months, according to a federal criminal complaint.
The officer and Mr. Emerson “talked about the use of psychedelic mushrooms, and Emerson said it was his first time taking mushrooms,” the criminal complaint states."

Hubby and I finally made it to Point Possession today! This has been a trip we have wanted to make for a few years, but the only way to get there is by our Ranger and one must be cognizant of the tides. Anyway, we had issues with the ranger our first two tries, but today, we made it! It's 29 miles up the beach and it was a journey with a flat tire, but we got there and it was so beautiful. Point Possession got its name from Captain Cook who "discovered" Alaska although the Dena'ina people had been here for millennia. Not to get all colonial and stuff, but it signifies the day he "took possession" of Alaska...HA! Right across from Point Possession is Fire Island, which used to be the home to Indigenous folks until disease forced them to move across Turnagain Arm to Point Possession. Fire Island became a US Air Force Station for an air defense radar center and Nike surface-to-air missile site for NORAD in 1951, but during the 1964 earthquake that hit Anchorage, most of it went underwater and was closed in 1969.

I present the Kenai Peninsula Borough Peace Crane Trails and Park located in Soldotna, Alaska. Today was the first visit of the summer. It's truly a lovely spot and one can even play some tunes!

"The Biden administration proposed new limits Thursday on greenhouse gas emissions from coal- and gas-fired power plants, its most ambitious effort yet to roll back planet-warming pollution from the nation’s second-largest contributor to climate change.
A rule announced by the Environmental Protection Agency could force power plants to capture smokestack emissions using a technology that has long been promised but is not used widely in the United States.
“This administration is committed to meeting the urgency of the climate crisis and taking the necessary actions required,’’ EPA Administrator Michael Regan said."

I like to walk around the University of Alaska campus in Kenai and today, behind the dormitory, I came upon this lady doing some serious grazing. She gave me a brief glance and went on eating. 💗

Oh, how I love to read about convictions of sedition, especially when it involves the Proud Boy terrorists.
"Four members of the Proud Boys, including their former leader Enrique Tarrio, were convicted on Thursday of seditious conspiracy for plotting to keep President Donald J. Trump in power after his election defeat by leading a violent mob in attacking the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021."

I often wonder how I survived my childhood considering these were what we played on in the park in the neighborhood! 😲 😵
