Crazy Neighborhood

In Alaska, we like our sunsets, northern lights, formal wear and domeciles the same way - as colorful as possible.

These houses, both of which recieved these paint jobs in the last year, are about 100 yards apart on my street.

Crazy Fishing II

Went fishing last weekend in Seward. In two days of trolling around the Kenai peninsula, I caught....


Alaska's smallest halibut (not to be confused with this halibut)...

...And...

Alaska's ugliest fish.

If you can't see the bulging eyes, orange and yellow scales and the huge mouth (it's a kind of bass), then take my word for it: it's ugly.
