Alaskans are not very good with their personal finances, it turns out. There's a bill that seeks to change that by making financial literacy a requirement for high school graduation. Thanks to ASD and East High for hosting me as I worked on this story! #Alaska #Anchorage #Schools

The little college in midtown Anchorage has some special features that might help keep young people in Alaska and draw others to the state. APU is working on becoming a tribal college, and among its features is an emphasis on Indigenous knowledge and culture - valuable to Native and non-Native students alike. (The stats about young people leaving Alaska, as mentioned in the story, are pretty concerning.) #Alaska #AlaskaPacificUniversity #Anchorage #Indigenous

Is anyone here going to #ICM13 in #Anchorage in July?

A three-moose afternoon in Anchorage. #Alaska #Anchorage #moose

Who’s surprised that being an air cargo pilot doesn’t well qualify someone to run a complicated city government?

Today’s #morning #view #photo: an egret wades along the protected shore of a Gulf Coast barrier island in Florida, hunting for breakfast on a dreary day. Shot from the port side window of my #boat at this excellent #anchorage. #boating #DoItNow #GreatLoop

This evening’s shot off my bow: sunset from my #anchorage at Stump Pass Beach State Park in #Florida. I’m in a channel between two islands and although the water here is calm, I can hear the Gulf waves crashing on the other side of the island. #boating #DoItNow #GreatLoop

Nice #nordicski conditions this weekend out at Kincaid. Snapped a pic at the bottom of the Icebox, just before the long climb out. Gets your heart rate up, that’s for sure! 😅

Neighborhood moose is maybe an art lover, maybe confused. #Alaska #moose #Anchorage

@jaykuo The cajones and narcissism it takes to bluff one’s way into a high profile position is really mind-blowing.

Up here in #Anchorage #Alaska, we recently had our own local version of #resumefraud unfold in the city’s health department:

Bracing in Downtown #Anchorage #MyAlaskaWx

Important to just pause and look up and around now and then… I was hustling to do some midday errands, and just *happened* to look up to see a beautiful #Alaska scene - in a parking lot of all places. It was an absolutely gorgeous ☀️ day in #Anchorage and the #hoarfrost on the trees against the brilliant blue sky stopped me in my tracks. Anyhoo - just thought I’d share the pic I snapped… 🤷‍♂️

Black ice, #Anchorage. Be careful.

Folks in #Fairbanks will likely chuckle at my relatively low discomfort threshold, but -5F (-20C) is too damn cold for recreational #nordicski outing! 🥶 It’s a shame, really, given all of the fresh snow we have in #Anchorage , but I’m declaring a moratorium on elective exposure to the bitter cold - at least until we get above zero. I predict that my little youth skier will rejoice that they won’t have to endure their junior nordic session today…

‘tis a beautiful beast! Big jobs require big machines!
