    Thanks Phaed.

    You guys will have to go back one page to see what he's talking about. I saw three grizzlies.

    No I can't, sorry for the late response, as we boarded the SUNSHINE ship that day, the 13th, and wifi on board is very expensive. So we are now back in Orlando and flying home tonight, back to the drudgery of everyday life. The poor wife has to go back to work tomorrow, listening to people's aches and pains,lol.

    Every time an older person dies, its like burning a full set of encyclopedias that will never be published again. So, if you ever want to learn more of anything, just find a old tradesman and hang out with him and then when he passes on, not the full set will burn, you'll have parts of it to pass on to others.

    I don't know why. Does anyone have any ideas?

    My older sister is visiting so we went up to the Arctic Circle yesterday. The sign and decorations are for my little great nephew Miles who is battling leukemia.

    I love how this one turned out. No post processing was done other then to resize it and put my name on it.

    There is a glitch in the software that sometimes won't show the pics, even when members are signed in. We have a work around figured out, but sometimes it's not permanent.

    Great pics. I'm sure Miles will love them.

    My youngest turned 13 yesterday. She got my old laptop for her birthday. She had no idea what she was getting but when she picked it up and felt the weight of her gift, she got a bit of a horrified look in her eye and said "OH! Is it AMMO?!!" I think she almost started to cry. Hahhhahhhaaa. We might be tough Alaskan chicks but we don't want ammo for our 13th birthday hahhahaa. I'm still laughing.

    I've been in Juneau this week for a conference for work. While there I got to go zip lining again. Also, I just sent in my last funeral payment. It's done. I've had the money before but kept putting it off. Guess I had to give myself more time before letting that part go. Feels pretty weird.

    1st - it sort of like finishing a chapter that we aren't quite ready to finish yet. I'm sure his he will live on in your memories and those of your children.

    Yes, exactly.

    Now here is a tiny gift for you all. If you lived in Fairbanks and had an outhouse, you would see this all the time.

    I take it that's a time lapse video. The AB doesn't move around that quickly does it? I know it says real time video but looking at the city lights it appears to be time lapse.

    No, that is not time lapse. It's a new camera that can take real time videos of the northern lights. Those auroras were actually moving pretty slow. Sometimes they are much more active and just pounding down around you. It's so awesome. Hang on and I'll try to find one of them moving faster.

    That was awesome and the shooting stars just added to it. I swear if I lived there I'd sit outside all night watching them. That's the one thing we regret not seeing when we were there. Just wrong time of year. My wife hates cold and snow but she would put up with it just to see the lights. Thanks!!!!

    I once saw the lights here in southern Indiana years ago, they were so beautiful, they just didn't last long enough.
