the weather is rainy the next couple of days, the ideal time to stay in and write postcards. so here be the official call:
if you'd like a postcard from Alaska, please send me a PM or email (mariserATgmailDOTcom) saying so. please to include your postal address. thanks. you should get the postcard in a week or two. be fun to see if it gets to Canajans sooner.
'til then, I leave you with the gymnastic stylings of Skittle the otter, current resident of the Alaska SeaLife Center
went to Fourth of July (aka Independence (aka FOJ)) beach. 'twas lovely. deserted. the dogs got to run and run and run
the water was shimmering
mountains, mountains, everywhere
rocks and pebbles everywhere
bye for now
entire set here
on my way to the fiftieth state. will check in later, with pictures.
for those of us who are following the Republican VP-sweeps, here is a blog to add to your reader: Mudflats: traipsing through the muck of Alaskan politics. Mudflats is written by "a concerned Alaskan citizen", and provides much background on the ongoing "-gates" (Babygate, Troopergate, Bookgate, etc.). click here for everything about Sarah
the blog started back in May 2008 as an overview and ongoing look at the clusterfuck that is Alaskan politics, at the local, state, and federal levels. make no doubt, in politics, as in many other things, Alaska marches to a different beat. the coverage of Gov. Palin has dwarfed other subjects since her nomination as Republican VP last week.
