Hey Alaska Mudflatters – the Northern Lights are out tonight!
I didn’t see them once last winter, so it is great to see them once again.
Thin, green ribbons of light tonight, dancing across the sky north of Kenai.
One ribbon is turning itself into a green light saber at times!
I once saw them at St. Mary’s, and I could almost reach out and touch them.

Oh pearl, I’m so saddened for you. Take care of yourself, and we’ll figure out a camera when you’re ready.

Pearl89, I guess it is obvious that i believe we do go on after passing from this lifetime
to another and that the spirit or consciousness is accessible to us during that time.
I hope that it is not offensive in anyway towish that for him and you.

Pearl89, so sad to hear about your brother, I lit a candle on the site, and will light one
here as well. May he not be afraid as he makes this transformation, and may you all
hold him close in this bittersweet time.

FYI – Candles lit for Pearl’s brother are under group Mudp.

From Congressional Quarterly:

Palin’s Numbers Mirror Quayle
Brendan Nyhan looks at recent “gruesome poll numbers” for Sarah Palin and notes that perceptions of her qualifications “are unprecedented among presidential/vice presidential nominees and major presidential contenders in recent years. From Joe Biden to George W. Bush, no one has been perceived as less qualified since Dan Quayle and Ross Perot. The Palin-Quayle parallel, which Jon Chait nailed soon after her nomination, is particularly striking. Each was a surprise VP pick who sparked initial enthusiasm but later became widely perceived as incompetent.”
