The other day our Internet connection went down. We discussed it for a
while, wondering what was wrong. Then I had a bright idea, let's call
the cable company and listen to the message to see if there was an
outage in our area.
So I turned to my computer, clicked on a
browser to look up the phone number for the cable company. What, no
Internet to look up the phone number, to find out why there is no
Internet. Duh!
Does anybody know how to use this big heavy book, I think it's called a phone book.

I’ve fished since I was ten and love the sport. But now I have to
adjust my thoughts a bit on size. What was once a normal size fish, say
around 8 to 10 inches, has now become the bait. : )
Our whole family went fishing on a 4 day charter, out of Valdez, AK. Most charters are one
-day affairs, so the boats tear out as fast as possible and you have a
few hours to fish. The five of us spent four days immersed in a great
Alaska adventure.
The weather was sunny and the water was flat, which is rare in Valdez.
We left around noon and went over to a glacier to net some ice for the
hold. The guys hauled in plenty to keep our fish cold.

I didn’t know what to expect when we moved to Alaska. So much is
written about this great state but I was not prepared for what I found.
I came here with wonder and a little apprehension but there were many
surprises and changes in my expectations. What I found was a secret
love for a wild,
untamed and vast land.
I love to watch the moose wander through yards, paved boulevards and parks. A full grown female weighs more than 900
pounds and a bull moose over 1200 pounds. The height at the shoulders
ranges between 6 ½ to 7 ½ feet tall. So we’re dealing with a large
animal.
