It has warmed up all the way to 36, but no snow yet. Joated got about 4" of snow at his place; he has pictures.

There are so many things wrong with what's going on in D.C. ... one wag suggests it stands for District of Criminals.

I picked up some ammo storage boxes this morning, and then spent the next hour or so transferring rounds from Point A to Point B. I think I made a mistake by getting such a large box for my .45; it's heavy enough that I would be concerned for its integrity when carrying it very far. Hmmm ... time to go shooting? Or to get another box?
Both!

We also picked up a nice gift for Older Daughter, who will be 20
Kids. Whatcha gonna do except love 'em?
Speaking of Older Daughter, the ammo I ordered for her new pistol should be here today, or possibly Monday. She wants to go shooting, and I like having company at the range, so it's a win-win.

Snippet from today's paper:
University of Alaska Anchorage campus police killed a moose after the animal began wandering toward the Fine Arts Building in a "very agitated state," police said Friday.Apparently he was upset about tuition increases. No? Okay, then; the article goes on to say that
Police responded to the east side of campus about 1 p.m. Thursday to find the bull's antlers tangled in fencing material used to support young trees, police chief Dale Pittman said in a statement. Nylon tape was wrapped around its antlers and there were 4-foot stakes dangling on each side of its face, he said.That would sure agitate me. I'm guessing the moose was agitated both by the tape & stakes, and by the lack of opposable thumbs...

Phlegmy has the find of the month: go see How the Lord of the Rings Should Have Ended.
It's fantastic!

That's about it for today. Thanks for stopping by, and let me know if there's some Alaskan topic you'd like me to write about.
