November 04, 2022
Although I have written about emergency preparedness previously, with this week's news of the events at Lathrop High School in Fairbanks, and another school in the Eagle River area, student safety and emergency response is top of mind. This situation is unsettling. It puts stress on the community, and particularly on parents and students. It emphasizes the importance of being prepared and to know how to act, or react. Although emergencies can be unpredictable, knowing what to do can help save lives.

Friday Focus: Gold is where you find it
October 28, 2022

I also wandered the mountains checking the crumbled remains of abandoned 19th century cabins for gold pokes deserted by fate or misfortune. To no one's surprise, I never found a mason jar full of gold nuggets beneath the old rotting logs.
