Pebble Mine

I've worked on a commercial fishing boat and have awsome friends who fish down in the Bristol Bay area this mine shouldn't happen! Fishing is such a big deal in Alaska and is a way of life that is more important than copper or gold. Fish are a renewable resource but the habitat they need to survive in is not, once we screw up the watershed for the fish we won't be able to put it back to how it was. apparently this is just a teaser for a movie but in it's shortness it shows the way of life in Alaska that doesn't need to be disturbed by a giant mine whether or not it breaks world records or how much money it makes. Most Alaskans don't care about that stuff anyhow, the man at 2:48 has the greatest quote I've ever heard! Stop Pebble Mine!

Jolly Day

Well today was that merry day when we get to wake up at the crack of dawn and open presents! As for me I was dumb enough to not get time off of work so I got to sit in a ski shop all day and basically get paid to watch Spiderman 3 (which is the only way I would want to watch that flick) I opened my presents at 4pm which was something new, that's my tree up above pretty cute! My mother sent me a box of presents and the turn out was very good this year!
Since I was dumb enough to get caught working every day this week I missed out on the family festivities and had to make due with the video ichat in staying up to date on all the fun I was missing. You'll notice that the photo up there is me watching the family poker tournament, apparently it was a $10 buy in and I'm way to cheap for that kind of a pot so I would have missed it anyhow! Kind of a bummer but we make the best of it! Welp happy holidays!

Forget Norway!

This is one of those photos that makes me happy whenever I see it. Mainly because of the perfect placement on the helmet with the accent of snow all around and the fact that the sticker stayed on the statue which sits in the middle of a round-a-bout in Bend for a week and a half,  before I assume a park gardner took it down. Yes I documented my tagging of the statue because it's just that cool!

Show some love to the Electro Gypsy! haha

Park City
