She flew in from Anchorage. I'm pretty sure it's not you, however -- this Jill is an "environmental scientist." Still, she's a fascinating person with nifty stories about chasing bears around the mountains. I suspect most Alaskans are similarly fascinating.Yokota Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04808661100114872654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1141682341273632402006-03-06T14:59:00.000-07:002006-03-06T14:59:00.000-07:00The only reasons I watched the Oscars:John Stewart...The only reasons I watched the Oscars:<BR/>John Stewart<BR/>George Clooney<BR/><BR/>All snugged in on the couch, eating mac n cheese. <BR/>switching between self congratulations and TLC "Overhaulin"HPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16873267945591483016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1141677621846743762006-03-06T13:40:00.000-07:002006-03-06T13:40:00.000-07:00(Ok, consider this coming from someone who has dau...(Ok, consider this coming from someone who has daughters your age) Careful using the ipod on your rides. As well as being entertaining, it can block out noises you might WANT to hear, like another dog (not your new friend) running up behind you, or a car moving behind you, etc etc. I used to wear mine when riding to work now and then. Even though much of the trek is on a bike path (paved with lines, not quite the Susitna)there were times when road bikes would come up behind me, and I couldn't hear them. In other words, having the earbuds in can be distracting and dangerous at times. BTW, theres an article in the news today about a jogger hit by a hit and run driver, who was identified via her ipod. I wonder if she didn't hear the car coming?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1141665965564657962006-03-06T10:26:00.000-07:002006-03-06T10:26:00.000-07:00Eddie is a real SOB!- Kevin Costner in American Fl...Eddie is a real SOB!<BR/><BR/>- Kevin Costner in American FlyersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1141653310196291492006-03-06T06:55:00.000-07:002006-03-06T06:55:00.000-07:00DITTO!

I was only attacked by sproglets on big wheels, so I can't say ditto about the dog.

However, his idea of tag is most other individuals(like rabbits) idea of being dinner!::GRIN:: I doubt he'll bite you, but one thing you might consider is a product called "HALT!". The USPS supplies mailmen with it to repel aggressive dogs. Just don't accidentally spray yourself with it! It's essentially pepper spray for dogs! As far as being out of step? I still have a working 8Track! ::GRIN:: and only replaced the 8Track in the van with a cassette player last year when it finally died beyond repair. After a while you develope a [perverse pride in being so far behind technologically speaking....and the 8track just sounded better than a cassette!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991652373354118024noreply@blogger.com
