Everyday, sometime after 7pm I buckle the belt that holds the holster for my 357 Magnum, and head out on to the tundra to walk my dog. I noticed one day, that there is only one set of footprints where I walk. Mine. Frozen solid onto the thick ice of the lake. At first the solitary gray prints molded onto ice and snow made me feel lonely, longing for a human companion to accompany me. But, I've come to realize those are the prints of an adventurer, a woman of inner strength, a loner.

First day of school
It's over, the first day. No matter how many 1st days I have, I can't help but have anxiety over them..until they're over.and it is over. I have a class or 6...eat your hearts out, those of you in the lower 48. Yes, 6 first and second graders. They are all cute and full of energy. They tired me out..but they shall keep me young as well. On to the second day..

A carving in a mammoth vertebrate...at the Heritage Museum in Barrow, AK. Vertebrate, old, craving is less old.
Ptarmigans still summer brown in color. Remind me of grose.
Caribou way out there.

Help Mr. Wizard...
I haven't the foggiest idea how to make a blog. Or post on the blog. Or do whatever it is I'm trying to accomplish here. But here's the story folks. Facebook was my link with the world beyond Atqasuk. And now FB is not a choice. So, I am trying to create this post. Let's see.
