Today, Part B: A moon rises over the bank of the Little Susitna River

Wasilla, Alaska, by 300 in Little Susitna River, Wasilla

Actually, this is from what was today, two year's ago to the date. I had taken Margie on a drive across the Little Su, then turned around and headed back. Here's what I figure happened: the bare-assed guy with the big grin told his friends something like, "here comes a middle-aged couple in a car. I'll moon them and shock the hell out of them."

So he mooned us and just like that, because I am good at this kind of thing, I raised my camera and shot his bare ass, thus preserving the moment so that people from now until the end of photographic time can look upon the image and marvel. They will say, "this is what happened in Wasilla, Alaska, on April 14, 2007."

They will know that, whatever miserable condition the city is in by then, however crowded and laid to waste it might be, once, Wasilla, Alaska, was a place of exquisite beauty, populated by wonderfully handsome people.

A little more detail from the top picture. There is enough resolution in the original image that I could show even more detail of this tailless tail, but this is enough.
