i think i really like this blogging thing. in fact, i have decided to use it to talk about what's going on in my life. well, right now it may be a little boring (watching PBS with oistein) but sometimes it is fun. lately we have had a few garage break ins by the neighborhood black bears. quite delightlful. AND it snowed last week! which, given that it is only JULY i think is a little scary. personally, i think the bears are rebelling in anger because of climate change.... but nobody believes me. but, seriously, if you were a bear, wouldn't you be pissed it was snowing in july? yeah, that's what i thought. this picture reflects the cold nature of this summer... but hey, whatever, it is alaska. and, as matt says, if it turns out this is NOT the coldest summer on record we will all be a little sad-- i mean, after suffering from the low temps, we deserve the right to be even more hardcore, right?
