Summer has finally arrived in Anchorage! Hoping it decided to stay a while.

I ask Grok to fill a room based on what it knows about me. Not bad. I especially like how, since I split time between Alaska and Arizona, it put both views out the window. And that's not my current dog, but surprisingly close to one I had years before I joined X.

I've always said l wanted to paint the canyon walls at Lee's Ferry, and I finally did it. No masterpiece, but it was fun.

"This is a B, it sounds like buh," seems as straightforward as "This is a cat, it says meow." At least my kids picked it up easily.

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary Can it really have been that long?

Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?

I suppose A (Alaska, Arizona, Alabama, Arkansas) or I (Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa) would be tied for the shortest. But Alaska wins because it has no neighboring US states.

Sending a huge thank you to everyone reading Kidnapped in Alaska on Kindle Unlimited.

I agree. More kbaby goats!

I finally got around to taking the classic photo of downtown Anchorage across the water from Point Woronzof.
