When we lived in Fairbanks, we'd bring the dog (husky lab cross) in to eat dinner and such but he was usually panting after a short time. Thrilled to go back out into his straw-strewn shed after family time :)
Loved being outside and submerging himself in slushy puddles as things warmed up.

Folks in Maine and Alaska: please call Collins and Murkowski to oppose the confirmation of Casey Means for Surgeon General. They are apparently still on the fence and MAHA is pushing them hard to vote in favor.

I do believe I have sufficiently outlined/plotted this book!
There will be room for minor changes, but the big and medium issues seem to be worked out.

LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ?

TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged

LANDERS: It wasn't though

TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know?

LANDERS: Your own AG said it

LANDERS: Where's the evidence?

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative.

1. A roaring fire on a cold, damp day
2. Reading/listening to books, especially those with queer characters by authors
3. Hanging out and laughing with friends

WRITERS BEWARE: (from a friend) a scammer is pretending to be high profile narrators (Simon Vance, Hillary Huber, Tavia Gilbert, etc.) and reaching out to authors to make them an offer to produce their audiobook. Please warn your fellow authors about this.

Advocacy Action Center I know you’re busy, but helping oppose this bill will be less time-consuming and expensive than trying to comply with it if it passes. Will you take five minutes to express your concern? Email the committee here

Hey Wisconsin! A pretty bad bill passed the House and is now being considered in the Senate. WI-AB961 would require bookselling websites to put warning labels on books whose content is considered to meet certain arbitrary criteria.
