North to the Future

Who the fuck wants to live in Florida?

Drizzly this morning, but I can see the mountain tops. From the looks of the snow, it's been raining up high, too.
I cannot remember the time frame, but it wasn't all that long ago when Florida had 600K homes, but now they say there's ten million. I've been down there for tournaments and I can believe it. Too many people. You go to the beach and it seems there's more skin than sand. And that's been over a decade or two now.
 
Fat Bear Week

Whatta State!

How the hell do you weigh a thing like that in order to declare a winner? :p
 
"Last summer, Brice collaborated with the US Coast Guard to complete the transfer of US Coast Guard land to its original owners — the 8 million Yu’pik people of the Bering Straits region of Alaska. This land transfer had been decades in the waiting, since the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971 was passed by Congress." Full story.

My question is, where the heck are these 8 million people? There's not 800,000 residents in the whole of the state! Someone got their numbers messed up.

Rest in Peace, Ben.

I will have to find some Valley Trash Blonde to drink in your honor.
