I had witnessed the aftermath of this collision. The unfortunate pedestrian had decided to walk out on to Chambers right in front of the Haagen entry. It's a shame that the motorist hadn't seen him but that was a very busy and congested area to chance a crossing. There are marked and protected crosswalks just a few pac...

What an outstanding individual Rick was. While tending towards the shy side, he allowed his life to be an open book. He was openly honest with his feelings and attitudes towards life and towards others. He was respectful and respected. His art gave us an extra eye into the life of a troubled human being who overcame a...

Bullseye's corporate culture is the problem, and it has been for a long time. Glass is a dirty business. Bullseye could have spent the past several decades cleaning up its act and finding better ways to make artisan glass. It didn't. Instead it swept problems under the rug, skirted regs, and stood still while the w...

Filled up with religious nuts and low information voters. Eagle River did not used to be that way; looser zoning and covenants out there made it more attractive for people who don't want to drive all the way from the Valley, but do want to keep their used appliances and wingless airplanes in their driveways.

Well, they're catching on everywhere except Eagle River, apparently. Which is part of why Anchorage should allow Eagle River to go its merry way and form its own borough.

Ernie's just bitter because Seattle is full of 25 year olds who make a lot more money than he does, carry messenger bags because they don't have to dig their 10 year old car out of a berm to get to work, and have more opportunity for advancement than Alaska has offered in at least a generation.

Could say that for a lot of other things, but this article was about Arctic Man, not religion. Still doesn't explain why anyone would want to travel so far, to the middle of nowhere, just to jam together with 10,000+ other people. They must really, really enjoy each other's company I suppose.
