As an Alaskan, I am so incredibly disappointed in her. I’ve never agreed with most of her policies, but she has shown integrity from time to time. She has put her country and the constitution ahead of party. But all that’s undone now.

Little under 2000 people showed up for the new Kings Riley today. Well done Juneau Alaska!

Downloaded the app and couldn’t find any bricks and mortar businesses in my town so far. I do know some that I refuse to patronize because of their political orientation, but they’re not on the app.

The mind boggles at the ineptitude of the ineffectual Democrats.

Not a fan of how either one of them behaved, but I think it was far from corrupt. Just weak and hesitant.

Took too long to convict him and his sentence is not long enough. Other than that, this is good news.

How does one get into those military group chats? That one might be more interesting than your ordinary chat.

Musk is environmentally conscious. His spaceships and vehicles are simply disassembling themselves into component parts to aid in recycling.

To my fellow Juneauites. Let’s show up and give him hell.

We have been without cell phone signal in Southeast Alaska for two days now. Apparently the main fiber cable is cut. A YouTube video claimed that Trump told Putin he could have Ukraine and Alaska in exchange for destroying the P tapes. Cutting off communications would be the first invasion step. 🤨

It is completely appalling not to mention embarrassing. How could we have elected this jerk?

Not sure why I can’t post a video and a photo on the same post but here are people leaving the gathering today.

I do use course up in the car. But there I’m worried about where the next turn will be and not where I am at any particular moment. When I’m on the water or in the woods, I need to know both which direction to go and where I am. Radar on the boat is a different matter, there you want course up

It’s interesting how adamant people are about it. After years of navigating through the forest with paper topographic maps I cannot imagine doing course up. We used to make fun of people who had to turn around the map to point the direction they were walking.

There are two kinds of sailors. Ones who set the chart plotter
North up and ones who set it course up. Happily I am crewing for one who sets the plotter
North up. We are heading south but I always know where I am. Well almost always…

Hope she sticks to her guns. I disagree with most of her policies, but she’s the best we can do in Alaska and she does have some integrity.

Another confused and sad Trump supporter, who has no clue what to do with his life decides to commit suicide and in the process hurt seven other people. Not unlike the two Trump supporters that tried to shoot him. Not very bright and emotionally disturbed and violent.
