There’s something about this time of year, but the sunsets always seem particularly beautiful. I’ve gotten several requests from people who would like to be able to buy copies of my pictures.  Wow.  Thanks so much, and I’m glad that you are enjoying them!  I fantasize sometimes about being able to really dedicate some time [...]

We last left our Senator, Lisa Murkowski deep in her underground cave compound, somewhere in a very tall mountain range far above sea level and potential flooding, rubbing her hands together and chuckling about her latest diabolical plot.  For the purposes of this story, we will think of her as a small evil genius with [...]

How did she do?  Here’s a smattering of opinion from around the web. “I can’t [...]

I took this picture at sunrise last week.  The strange thing was that the sun was actually behind me and this picture was taken facing west.  Any weather wizards or cloud afficionados out there?  Anyone know what this phenomenon is called?  It lasted for about five minutes that I saw.  Glad I did!

Oh, who needs the Arctic anyway.  And seriously, while we’re at it…who needs the planet?  Let’s just trash the thing and find another one, because all the chemistry and biology on this one has just become a huge pain in the ass.  I mean all these damn ruuuules, and regulaaations.  They’re just really depressing.  And [...]
