Surprising Alaska Senate Poll Numbers
2008-06-09 19:20:00
A lot of people thought Sen. Ted Stevens would be vulnerable in this election, both because of corruption charges and a sharp spike in his craziness in recent years. Still, seeing a new poll having Anchorage mayor Mark Begich beating Stevens by 7 points (51-44) is pretty shocking. Given that Democrats are also favored in the ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Surprising Alaska Senate Poll Numbers", url: "http://2008central.net/2008/06-/09/surprising-alaska-senate-po-ll-numbers/" });

Moose Maternity Ward
2008-06-04 10:00:00
The kids came in this weekend reporting that they'd seen a moose and then suddenly they'd seen two moose. Just like that.I'm not really fond of moose--the crab apple pirates--but even I had to admit that baby is kind of cute. In a moosey kind of way.Technorati tags: Anchorage, Alaska, moose, wildlife

How to Build a Zip Line--Man Style
2008-06-02 10:00:00
What did you do for Memorial Day? We fled town and escaped to my parents? cabin north of Anchorage on the Kashwitna river and camped out for four-day weekend. Well, not exactly ?camped out? because there were no tents involved. Absolutely none.That?s why I like going to the cabin, because it?s not really a cabin but more of a small house with hot showers, electricity and comfortable beds. The kids would spend the whole summer sleeping out under the stars if they had their way but me? I hate being cold and dirty, my idea of roughing it is to have to use a generic brand of shampoo, so going to the cabin is a wonderful way to get away and get outdoors where the kids can get as dirty as they want outside then I can send them to take a shower when they come inside.Yes, I'm a whimp. If I'd been a pioneer they'd have left me for dead by the side of the trail.While we were making plans to go up to the cabin for Memorial Day I gave the men a project to complete: I wanted them to put...

Forget-Me-Not Nursery in Indian, Alaska
2008-05-26 10:00:00
I have this tradition that started four or five years ago where each spring my mom and I head south to look for some spring seedlings. We're like pilgrims making our annual trip to Plant-Mecca and spring wouldn't be spring without the trip to Indian and Forget-Me-Not Nursery.Indian is a tiny town--maybe just a settlement, it's hard to tell--south of Anchorage along Cook Inlet. The drive down there is part of the prettiest, most scenic, drive in the entire world. I?ve seen pretty before and seriously, the stretch of road from Anchorage to Girdwood on a spring day is about as much beauty as you could expect in one place--just gorgeous. In fact, the trip is only partly about going to get some flowers, it's about enjoying the sunshine and the scenery and basking in the thought of the coming summer.But Mom couldn?t go this year (ironically she can?t go to Indian because she?s in India?ha!) so I got the treat of my sister Melissa to keep me company and we made a morning of it, enjoyi...

If You Really Love Me Take Me to the Dump
2008-05-12 10:00:00
Last weekend was the first weekend in May and do you know what that means? The Anchorage Landfill (that's the pretty word for THE DUMP) opens it's doors, or it's bulldozers, or whatever free of charge to encourage good citizens across town to clean up their homes and yards by taking their trash to a new place paid for by tax dollars.Now I'm going to stick my neck out here a bit and admit something that I don't think I've ever told another living soul: I LOVE THE DUMP! I don't know what it is but I just love, love, love that place. Well, actually now that I think about it I do know why I love it and maybe I can convince you to love it as much as I do . . . or at least explain it enough that you don't write me off completely.I think it's all about the timing. Once spring arrives I'm so absolutely crazed with cabin fever that getting out of the house and doing some dusting, raking, bagging and dumping is really, really fun. I'm even happy to bag up moose pellets it's t...

CLIMATE CHANGE: China and India called keys in climate change battle
2008-05-08 18:23:00
If the world is going to truly combat greenhouse gas emissions, China and India have to be part of the fight, the chief economist for the Paris-based International Energy Agency said Tuesday. Fatih Birol told oil and gas executives at the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston that the economies of China and India are growing at such a pace that they'll keep needing more energy, much of it from coal. Even if Europe cuts emissions by 20 percent in the next dozen years as pledged, it won't be enough to overcome emissions anticipated to increase in the developing giants, he said.But don't blame China, the bigger of the two, he said.China's growth is "simply imitating" what developed countries have already done. Americans love their cars, and increasingly the Chinese do as well, driving most of the increase in that country's demand.The nation is expected to overtake the U.S. in terms of car ownership in seven to eight years. And by 2030, 14 percent of Chinese will have cars, as...

Readers' Panel: Dealing with Nasty Comments
2008-05-05 10:00:00
Dear Michelle,How should I handle it when someone leaves a nasty comment or writes something bad about my blog in one of their posts? What should I do?I get this question every so often but I talked rather extensively with Loralee at Loralee's Looney Tunes not too long ago so I'm paraphrasing her question--leaving out the not-so-pretty particulars.There are a couple of things to remember with a situation like this:1. People who are truly nasty cannot be swayed by your articulate, logical and highly intelligent responses. Even if you're much smarter and better looking than they are.2. Your words are permanent and they can come back to haunt you.Now one of the oddities of the mom blog niche--or to expand it to blogs by women in general and parenting blogs by dads too--is that people are usually very, very nice. Now this doesn't mean that you're not going to get the occasional psychopath out to prove something by verbally taking you down but those situations are pretty rare.If...

Black + White in Alaska
2008-04-07 16:00:00
Our house isn't our dream home but we love the location and our big backyard (hard to find nowadays in the city). I love my garden out back and the south light it gets. And then every time I start to think of moving to a bigger house I remember what it took to get our piano into the family room and that cures me. Moving is not going to happen. We're staying put, just bury our bones in the back.Of course after remodeling our kitchen then our fireplace last year we've become so keen on the remodeling process that we've been desperately looking for other ways to pour money into our house--apparently we've taken it upon ourselves to make sure the home improvement industry is alive and well. So we've decided to remodel the family room downstairs then take the two small kid bedrooms over the garage and push the whole front wall out farther over the garage to give us a bit of growing room as we start into Life with Teenagers.So far so good? But Andrew and I try to live by the So...
