Alaskan Jokes
A Parking Dilemma!
One wintery morning in Alaska, a newly married Sourdough (long time Alaskan) and his Cheechako (new to Alaska) bride were eating breakfast and listening to the radio. They heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8-10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through."
The wife went out and moved her car.
A week later while they are eating breakfast, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 10-12 inches of snow today, you will need to move your car to the odd-numbered side of the street so the snowplow can get through."
So the wife went out and moved her car again.
The next week, while they were eating breakfast, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 12-14 inches of snow today and you must park..." Then the power went off!
The wife was very upset. With a worried look on her face she said to her Sourdough hubby, "Honey, I don't know what to do. Which side of the street am I supposed to park on?"
With the love and understanding in his voice that all Sourdoughs who are married to Cheechakos exhibit, her hubby said, "Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time."

Majestic Eagles
Beautiful majestic Eagles are one thing that Alaska has plenty of, there are two varieties here in Alaska, both are used as national symbols to many nations. The Bald Eagle which is pictured on the 'Great Seal' of United States of America, and the Golden Eagle which I have been told is a immature Bald Eagle...
Since I question the validity of that information. I have done some research because I would like to know the truth and would like to be able to share true facts with all whom may be reading this! So this is what I have discovered. According to Alaska's Fish and Game, the The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and the Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) are two distinctly different species of Eagles.
Bald Eagle: Bring it!

Ice Sculpture Winners of 2009
(Single Ice Block Category)
All Photos by Rhonda Konicki
I wanted to post some pictures of the ice sculptures done last year in March. These pictures are the winners. This post has the pictures of all the sculptures carved using one block of ice. The details to these sculptures are amazing.
The cold weather and snow piling up outside have me looking forward to the new sculptures that will be done in just a march this year. I admire the people who like to work with ice and create such beauty to look at, transforming long dreary winter days into beauty.
