Look Who Was in Front of My House.


I came home the other day to this guy and his girlfriend hanging around. One of the joys of living in Alaska. Seeing moose is cool, if they are far away or not in front of your car at 65mph. Moose attacks aren't common, but there are plenty of people who have had to change their underwear after being charged. I juset heard a story today of some girls being chased down one of the trails at school. Can't confirm the story, but its possible.

Remember that article I was writing on the milblogs for the school paper. Thanks to Some Soldier's Mom and TCOverride, it's going well. Some Soldier's Mom has put me in touch with a friend of a local soldier killed in Iraq. Turns out this local girl is a student at UAA. It's a small world. I'm really interested in learning about her and her relationship with the soldier.
Right now I am at my girlfriend's parents house in Wasilla. The mountains out here are pretty well covered in snow at the peaks. I'm going to go out and get pictures later. We're still waiting for our first snow. It's been cold enough at night. It's low 30's at night and low 40's in the day.
UAA won their game last night in the classic. The team didn't look too good. It could be another one of "those" seasons for us. I guess most of our seasons are. I hope the Aces will be worth watching again. Last season was amazing.
I better get to homework, not much time between now and Monday.

A lot like beef, but more tuff.
