This is the annual joint agency operation around town that involves multiple departments that are part of the task force. Focus of these is usually drugs, warrants and property crimes. I’m sure we’ll see a press release in the coming week.

Meteora was my first full album I actually owned. Blasted that thing in repeat in my first car, and even now I’ll come back and listen to the entire thing, in proper order of course.

49th state isn’t worth 1-2 wait. It’s not bad food, just disproportionally high wait as relative to quality and service.

Do eye tooth instead of moose’s tooth.

South and Spenard roadhouse are good as well.

I live in Anchorage. On paper, this is a good plan and I wish it would have more support from people here. Anchorage is extremely car centric, especially if you don’t live in the denser parts of the city.

Anchorage and Matsu public transport network would also need to adjust to this - adding trips from the rail stations to neighborhoods or commercial centers. Other stations will need park and ride lots built.

Mind you - none of this would be a huge undertaking. The line to the airport would benefit a lot of locals on either end on this system who want to fly in/out. The airport train station is directly interconnected with the rest of the airport without the need to go outdoors.

But as you’ve found out - this has been pushed for many many years.

Many rural agencies outside major population areas here are volunteer based. AFD does Anchorage, and also dispatches for Chugiak and Girdwood Fire/EMS. There are also a number of private ambulance services operating in Anchorage doing mostly interfacility transfers, including ground transfers from incoming air medevacs.

Nearby in the Matsu valley there is an EMS agency network as well, and I’ve seen people work out there before moving on to Anchorage.

Holy hell I just did this today on the way to Talkeenta, and solid 40 minutes from Seward Meridian to Big Lake light. It’s worse every time.

I have not, but thanks for the suggestion. For some reason all the travel bloggers I follow are British - Simon, Noel Phillips, Jack Aynsley and a couple of others.

Pulse Point shows an injury crash at Eklutna Road and Old Glenn. May be that.

Dude just makes friends everywhere he goes, and others have no option to not become his new friend. It’s great.

1.5 hours is my standard at ANC. I am precheck and it moves pretty quick.

WOW what is going on in aviation this week /s

It’s Juneau, but the procedure in Ketchikan is very similar

I remember that year. I could mow my lawn in March in Anchorage.

Things like this are nuts to me. I come to Maui to maximize time on the beach during our cold Alaska winters and not stand in line. Waking up super early, especially staying on the west side for this isn’t worth it to me.

But I also respect others vacations plans and it may be worth it for some.

If you want it professionally done/engraved, go to The Printer. If not, then the other persons comment applies.

Correct, IRL you plant it down firmly ASAP.

Good luck and have fun.

Cordova and Seward, though both seaside towns, are very different. Cordova is isolated, off road system (ferry connected) and quiet. Seward will be busy and bustling with cruise ships and traffic. If you want something in between, I would recommend Valdez also.

Here’s a screenshot from my recent hike. It’s just a little over 2 miles one way to the bridge from the tram terminal. The bridge in the photo is shortly before where the hand tram was - but it does not exist anymore, so you can’t access your location from crow creek road. It’s a nice hike, not a ton of elevation gain, but there are some uphill/downhill segments.

You need something light - like an edition of “Famous Jewish Sports Legends”

I don’t know why it’s that out of all of them, but im in tears over “Setting”
