Okay. It is 10:34 PM. This year ends in one hour and 24 minutes. I took a break to have dinner, to go to DG and get a banana split, to read the NY Times editorials. Now, if I'm going to get this month-by-month review done before the year ends, I've got to fly.
Does this picture really need an explanation?

Kalib discovers clouds passing by in the sky.

You know I love the train. How thrilled I was when the engine named "The Spirit of Wasilla" rolled into sight.

Horses, running the other way.

This is Pia, who has a fine garden. When I took this picture, I asked her if she was going to enter anything in the state fair. "No," she said. That kind of thing is for younger people.
Then, when the prize winners for the state fair were announced in the Anchorage Daily News, there she was, in a picture, along with a 963 pound mushroom - the biggest entered.
Well, maybe it wasn't quite 963 pounds, but I don't have time to go back and find out the true size.
It was a mighty damn big mushroom and Pia was might sneaky.
She didn't want anybody to know until she won.

I pedaled my bike to Grotto Iona, which I had passed many times in my car, and went in and discovered a small, family graveyard. I gave myself the assignment to learn about Paul and Iona Mahoney, who are buried here.
I haven't a chance yet, but I am in contact with their daughter and I will yet "meet" them, so you can too.

This is Patti, who loves to bike, ski, sail and be fit. Her doctor had just told her life was over, that the cancer she had could not be stopped. She had just months to live. No more treatment was necessary, she should go home and prepare to die.
Patti rebelled against that doctor and decided to fight for her life.
