We have an abundance of bears roaming around town this summer. There haven't been any deaths, but there have been several attacks. Unfortunately, they have the right of way, and you are not allowed to shoot them. Sooner or later, the fish and wildlife people will realize we need to protect people first. Well, I'm not running for office, and no politicians even dare mention this, but it's a fact of life.
There's a lot of other problems going on in the big State. Right now, national news has highlighted how our beloved Senator Stevens has been indicted for 'not reporting favors'. He just didn't keep track of the work his friends did on his cabin while he was in Washingon D.C. He said he paid every bill he received, but think about it . . . you know his staff paid it. Anyhow, everyone I know is supporting him, and expect to get him re-elected in November.
My last blog talked about the rains, and they are still with us. However, just when you thought you couldn't take any more, a beautiful day with sunshine happens. Not enough to get used to, but we remember the beautiful summers we usually have. The baseball season is over, but on the last beautiful day, the Anchorage Bucs came thru winning big. . . I think we beat the Fairbanks Goldpaners 14-4. Ah, what a little sunshine can do . . . the song says 'what a little moonlight' but we aren't seeing the moon during the summer - remember the long daylight hours here.
While I'm writing this, TV is announcing another bear attack.
