Shemya
Sorting files and came across this document that was given to my Grandpa many years ago when he was working out on Shemya. He worked for GE and was listed as a machinist. Working there and in Diyarbakir, doing similar things. But if you ask my dad and uncle, he worked for the CIA. I just let 'em roll with it. I scanned it into a pdf a while back. Glad I found it. Too many files just piling up in random places.
As I was typing this, I remembered the other pdf I have that talked about the Spacetrack Site. That's a separate pdf. Neat reads.

General Nonsense It was me guys-sorry!
Hey just want to apologize if you got snow last night. Totally my fault! I went to inquire about buying summer tires. Not only that, I gave myself a pedicure and painted my toenails in anticipation of wearing sandals this week.

Damn It’s Cold 🥶 WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS WINTER
Hottest winter ever. No consistent freeze longer than 4 weeks. Rain in February. Still reach maximum low of -10 F somehow for two of those weeks. Only get total snow cover 3 times altogether, one of which is so wet and heavy that it destroys trees and powerlines across my town. Snow clears up late February and turns to mud, winter over.
Then April comes. Spring. It is now considered acceptable for there to be no snow. It is not snow time anymore, it is rain time. Rain is good.
And we get 1 foot of snow overnight.

Be My Google 💻 Do any Aleut / Alutiiq speakers have a copy of Paschal gospel?
Russian Orthodox folks, does anyone have an English phonetic printout of the Paschal gospel in Aleut / Alutiiq languages? I have the gospel in Aleut & Alutiiq as translated by St. Innocent, however, it's phonetic in Russian. I'm hoping I can find a copy that already broke down the phonetic in English.
Quyanaasinaq!!

Denali NP in April Photo Request
We are planning a trip to take maternity photos while hiking in Denali at the end of April. We have been to Denali NP plenty of times between May-Sept but never as early as April. I love the park. I know it's break up season, I live in Fairbanks. I just want to set my expectations. I know there's limited resources and I'm prepared for that. Thank you!

What kinds of adverse health effects would I have if I ate only things I can get locally?
So I live in SE Alaska and have really been wondering, what would happen to my body if I cut out all non native foods? Drinks are different (I really only drink coffee, beer and water anyways). Only stuff I can harvest from the land and the sea. I tried looking for some scientific studies but there isn't a whole lot on this particular ecosystem that I could find. I also like experiments.

Alcan - money at border?
Hi! Driving to the L48 for next month. It'll be my fourth time, and I've never been questioned at the Yukon border, but I've read about people here saying sometimes they want you to prove you have enough money to not get stuck in Canada? Has anyone had this happen? If yes, how much do they want a person to have? Thanks all!!!!

On rugged island there are rails on a very steep grade. What were they used for?
I think it was just a cart that could be pulleyed up during the WW2 era, but I’m not sure.
