To be added to the list of what won't ship to Alaska:

A rotary grater. ie. grates cheese, slices veggies, etc.

Boggles the mind.

I've shipped it to friends in the lower 48 who will be coming up in a few weeks, but really?

A cheese grater?

We are the hinter-ist of hinterlands folks!

I'm up this morning with a heating pad on my neck and an icepack on my knee. How's your morning going? lol

When I went on my walk yesterday, I wore my wrong cleats. I have three sizes of cleat - Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear.

I wore the Mamas when I should have worn the Papas.

I didn't actually fall, but slipped enough to jack my body up. Ugh. Arthritis sucks regardless, but man!

Alaska problems:

Found a pair of Taos shoes I wanted.

Even included $1.30 for carbon offset.

Got to the shipping portion: $78.00 on a $140.00 order.

The best way to offset carbon is to NOT order at all!

I cannot say RIDICULOUS strongly enough! (There was cursing involved....)

I would gladly pay someone 5 bucks to take the shoes out of the shoebox and put them in a flat rate USPS box.

Problem solved.

Finally have my holiday packages ready for mailing. One to Tok, AK, one to Florida and one to New Mexico.

It's a race to see which arrives first. It all depends on which sled dog team is chosen for this important task!

If you ever wonder what travel is like in small town Alaska...

They took out the middle seats so they could pack more people in. I'm on the floor, being very Alaskan.

I'm heading to Anchorage tomorrow for a turn & burn: Periodontal work, with pulling a tooth and bone graft thrown in for good measure.

I'm feeling kinda like this guy on a pole in Totem Park. ANC is buried under a couple of feet of snow and has had a terrible time digging out. So I'll be driving on crappy roads in a rental, going through not-too-pleasant dental stuff. Um...yeah, I feel topsy-turvy too!

2nd major snow storm in a week, 4th straight day of no school, and my neighborhood still hasn’t been plowed from the first snow storm ❄️☃️

@Apollifrone ooh, i had a buddy do that. Kept thawing. #AlaskaProblems

Never underestimate the value of a flushing toilet in Alaska.

(It may be sublime up here, but we're also a little nuts.)

Well, I discovered this morning that the new parking lot installed over the summer at my workplace will become an ice rink this winter.

With joints crumbling like old mortar (3 total joint replacements and counting) falling is not an option.

Guess I'll be breaking out the ice cleats a bit earlier this year!
