gas station

I really loved the look of this gas pump. I wasn't able to get gas
from it. Not because of what you think. The place was just closed!

Today

Today I rode a bike for the first time in about 6 years and I wobbled
and almost ate it going down a hill. But it is true, you never forget
how to ride. And I rode today along the Tony Knowles coastal trail in
Anchorage all the way to the airport. That's about 8 miles one way!
Crazy. Anyhow my bike riding ass made it back surprisingly without
slipping down the soft mud of the road into the even muddier grounds
that would eat up a chick like me with a single gulp, and just fell in
live with Alaska. I could live here.....

Portage glacier

Today I am glacier trekking. And it began with a visit to Portage
Glacier. My friend's friend Erica is rolling with her 4-year old son,
Alex, so I guess I am also her friend and rolling with a small human
in tow. Anyhow, looking at this beautiful backdrop in Alaska does not
stop our silliness. We hav all decided Alex will be called
'sandwiches' and when he goes pro in any chosen sport, he'll look back
at his days of youthful abandon seeing portage glacier and think, this
was the say and site that I came into my own and became 'sandwiches'.
We are making history up in this state.

My first day on vacation

Hello everyone from....Alaska! That's right folks, my little ass flew
up to anchrage last night and today at 6:30 am I was up and at em to
do a little fishing on the Kasilif river at the crooked creek outside
Soldatna. Wow that's a lot of odd vowel and consonant placement. I
didn't catch anything but a fileted salmon carcass and a twig. Really.
But I was in thigh high waders and had a pole with line and hook. I
made it happen.

Pee?

Bottles like this strewn on the mean streets of Los Feliz....could it
be people, that some sad sap ready to replenish his electrolytes after
a difficult workout at the gym reaches over for his liter of juice,
only to grab nothing but air? Alas? His bottle of refreshing liquid
has fallen out of his car. Still with the life water in it? Or is it
just urine? I'm going with the latter.
