My Grandfather's transport ship arrival postcard from World War I, indicating his safe arrival in Europe. German submarines were relentlessly sinking military and merchant ships in the Atlantic.
He was a Sargent with the American Expeditionary Forces in France.

About 8am the wind began to blow here in NW Montana, thousands are w/o power as trees fell across highways and powerlines. I also understand the huge cross that has stood over the town for 50 years, blew over.
I am considering ourselves lucky. The fake Christmas tree in the front yard blew over.

It was a particularly snowy winter that year. Dad's jeep with a hardtop is dwarfed by the 7 foot snowdrifts.
This mile of road lies between the USCG Station and airport.

7 years ago today, November 30, 2018 , a 7.1 earthquake struck south central Alaska. It shook things up pretty good.
After the event I ran a faucet and a red brown color flowed from the well. I ran the water into the tub and then drained the tub.
This is what was left. An intricate design.

Sad day in the house today. We had our cat, Kato, put to sleep. She was born to a feral mother in 2011 and adopted into a loving family. Kato, an international traveler rode down the Alcan highway in 2020. She is survived by her sister, Ginger and her brother Mica who still lives in Alaska, maybe?

I curate my spaces with art with a story behind it.
Whether it’s something you found on a trip, or discovered through an artist—it adds depth & meaning to your space.
When I shot this, I was at a wedding. A breeze lifted the grasses with music. They looked like musical notes.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wants travelers to ask themselves next time they fly:
Are you dressing with respect?
Are you keeping control of your children
Are you saying thank you to your flight attendants?
Me: Sounds woke.

Today we installed the new movie screen at the Bigfork Center for the Performing Arts.
This is how you lift a 900lb box screen 30 ft to attach it to the proscenium without a forklift or electric sissorjack.
