Fun fact: It’s a hemiparasitic plant that attaches to the roots of plants to get some of its nutrients, so apparently it can do well in a lawn setting if you cut it high enough. I’m thinking it should spread further if I let it go to seed.

Heading up that way for HS State races on Tuesday. (I coach for West.) And my youngest raced the UAF RMISA Invitational today. Can’t wait for some Fairbanks snow!

There’s a report on snowio.com from Wednesday of good skate *ski* conditions at Eklutna, with crystalline snow on top of the ice. Weather conditions have been steady enough since then that I suspect that's still the case. Maybe bring both skis and skates, and go with whatever looks better? :-)

And I just stumbled into the Neil deGrasse Tyson interview as I was pulling into the driveway after coaching Junior Nordic. Local public radio is such a delight. :-)

Heya Todd! I’m a SMCM alumni (class of ‘93, philosophy) and was wondering anybody was managing Bluesky starter pack of SMCM profs or alumni. (As an aside, I’m also a fellow political independent, an Alaska politics nerd, and a RCV fan.) Thanks. :-)

How nerdy are you? I personally love static site generators like Hugo, Jekyll, and Eleventy. They’re much cleaner than WordPress, but they require a little technical knowledge to set up.

I’ve been to some CRAZY shows in my day. But nothing ever topped Bad Brains. I thought the audience would tear both the 9:30 Club and itself to shreds. (I know I left bloodied, bruised, and with a black eye.) That’s the most extreme level of Dionysian release I’ve ever experienced.

I’ve lived Up North for almost 30 years now. Hoar frost still seems like impossible magic to me. I’m awestruck every time.

She _does_ still live here. But in our defense, Alaskans don’t like her. When she tried to run for Alaska’s sole US House seat in 2022, she lost to Mary Peltola, a democrat.
