Lest one forgets that Alaska is no ordinary place to call home, she reminds us by sounding her barbaric yawp to the world. Temperatures hovering near the 50 below zero mark for over two weeks in January, twenty to thirty degrees below normal and -40F in the hills; a volcano threatening eruption continuously for over a month; the aurora visible in a crisp, starry sky from my bed, as I snuggle into my wool comforter... It has been an interesting year already. It's time to share the Alaskan yawp again... and mine.
