My husband is on spring break, I have the week off and we kicked it all off by eating a lot of Cheetos

I have a character like this who I just gave a big secret to and insecurities driven by the secret and she went from feeling flat to being one of my favorite characters. Might be one way to deal with this issue?

Decoded list of weather observations from Fairbanks Airport Sunday morning March 1, 2026 showing the low temperature between 3m and 9am AKST was -49F and at 9am visibility was one quarter mile in ice fog.

Decoded list of weather observations from Fairbanks Airport Sunday morning March 1, 2026 showing the low temperature between 3m and 9am AKST was -49F and at 9am visibility was one quarter mile in ice fog.

Fairbanks airport low temperature Sunday morning of -49F (-45.0C) ties the record low for March 1 (also 1956). The only lower March temps were March 12 & 13, 1911, when the low temp both days was -56F. Also, this is likely the first time with dense ice fog in March since Mar 1, 1956. #akwx #Climate

Doing the family taxes and good lord teachers are underpaid

Glad at least one of us is corporate and actually has career progression and gets raises but if that wasn’t the case it would be a bad time

It has not been a good winter running year in Fairbanks- typically by this time of year its not too crazy to get out a few times a week. Not this year

It probably isn’t an opposing campaign- I think most seasoned campaign types in alaska know enough not to run afowl of APOC and campaign rules

When we work side by side with fellow Alaskans and focus on the work, even when we disagree, we get things done.

That is how we lower energy costs, strengthen schools, and rebuild trust in government. We need leaders who put results above politics.
