Here is the temperature graph since January 1st. These are "springs" 5,6, and 7. Each red bar is one day with the high and the low. It is for Anchorage which is about 60 miles north of us by air and 170 miles by road. You can see below that last summer was warmer than average. COME ON GLOBAL WARMING!!!!

Coach Felix is talking to the Nikiski Bantam hockey team. We won the Presidents Day Tournament! There were 8 teams in our group. 

Have you heard of Black Sands Beach in Hawaii? We have a similar tourist attraction in Alaska called the Black Iceberg Beach. Anchorage is behind that mountain in the sun. Nobody was lying on their towels on the beach on friday afternoon 

This is what a year old moose will do to your truck. This happened last thursday morning when going to an ER (emergency response) class for work. I tried to go right to get around her, but she went the same direction :( 

Look at all the snow coming down! 

Here are a couple of photos taken at night during the snowstorm a few days ago. One is taken with flash and the other is taken without flash. 

Here is a photo from the last weekend in January when the Nikiski bantam team came in 2nd place in a tournament in Soldotna. Hockey is fun.
