Alaska Nomad: Busy Weekend
http://alaskanomad.blogspot.com/2007/02/busy-weekend.html
Monday, February 5, 2007. OK, no posts for the weekend. I have strong excuses, however. Friday night, I went with a friend to the Andrew Wyeth exhibit at the Cincinnati Art Museum. Wyeth's granddaughter gave a very interesting lecture, lots of personal details about the artist and the background of his work. Preparations are getting somewhat frantic for my Feb. 13 departure for the Dominican Republic, still some packing, sorting things into storage, etc, but the adventure awaits! Links Worth a Look.

Alaska Nomad: Vanderbilt and John Edwards
http://alaskanomad.blogspot.com/2007/01/vanderbilt-and-john-edwards.html
Tuesday, January 30, 2007. Vanderbilt and John Edwards. I found a great post by Dean Barnett at http:/ hughhewitt.townhall.com/. Barnett has some wry comments on John Edwards' new 28,000 square foot house in North Carolina, noting that this falls short of the 60,000 square feet of the Vanderbilt estate "The Breakers" at Asheville. What about the house’s details? 5) What kind of things do you think will happen in “John’s Room? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Links Worth a Look. Bat Masterson and Benja...

Alaska Nomad: December 2006
http://alaskanomad.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 31, 2006. December 31, 2006. Our hike yesterday at the Miami University woodlands east of Oxford, Ohio, was pretty good. There were 8 hikers in all, including several people out for their first venture with cincioutdoors and Tri-State Hiking Club. We did about 4.1 miles, over sometimes muddy but easy trails. We then followed up with a barbecue dinner that was pretty decent. Since certainty is unattainable, entertainment value is the only justification for conversation.". Well, this year ...

http://alaskanomad.blogspot.com/2007/01/eagle-lugging-deer-head-causes-power.html
Tuesday, January 30, 2007. Eagle Lugging Deer Head Causes Power Blackout. At least in Juneau, the eagle did not interfere with an election. Http:/ news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070129/ap on re us/eagle power outage. JUNEAU, Alaska - About 10,000 Juneau residents briefly lost power after a bald eagle lugging a deer head crashed into transmission lines. The bird, weighed down by the deer head, apparently failed to clear the transmission lines, she said. A repair crew found the eagle dead, the deer head nearby.

Alaska Nomad: What???
http://alaskanomad.blogspot.com/2007/01/what.html
Wednesday, January 31, 2007. The "well spoken" Sen. Joe Biden discusses his rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination in a long interview with a reporter from the NY Observer. At http:/ www.observer.com/printpage.asp? Are they going to turn to Hillary Clinton? 8221; Biden asked, lowering his voice to a hush to explain why Mrs. Clinton won’t win the election. Where do you want to be? Do you want to be in a place where 100 percent of the Democrats know you? But—and the “but” was c...Vanderbilt and ...

Alaska Nomad: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot???
http://alaskanomad.blogspot.com/2007/02/whiskey-tango-foxtrot.html
Thursday, February 1, 2007. I try to pursue a live and let live philosophy, in most respects. So the idea of typical middle-aged guys bowling in the nude has to be OK, at least in general principles. But still, one has to wonder.what in the Wide World of Sports are these guys thinking? And in Maine, in the winter. I suppose that it was way too cold for the traditional nude softball tournament.

Alaska Nomad: Alaska Nostalgia
http://alaskanomad.blogspot.com/2007/02/alaska-nostalgia.html
Friday, February 2, 2007. This morning, Cincinnati has gotten a massive snowfall, perhaps as much as half an inch. The snow seems to brighten the day considerably, even given the standard grey sky of an Ohio winter, at least until it melts and turns to slush. Thus, it was neat to find an excellent story in the Anchorage Daily News online about dog mushing:. Http:/ www.adn.com/life/lende/story/8606425p-8499083c.html. Author Heather Lende has written an excellent article-. There are walls of plowed snow in...
