Discovered the Yukon in 1985, never leaving. Historian, traveller, photographer, writer, wilderness hiker, naturist, dog lover, antifa - on some particularly fine days, all of those things. Photos are mine unless otherwise credited.

Chocolate is great, but what bike did you get??
You might carry an internet-connected sensor package and listening device to an anti-government rally, but organizers recommend against it.
It's hard to find the truth about what has and is happening in storm-lashed northwest Alaska. Here's a good look:
This is good reporting on the disaster in Alaska if you're looking for a reliable summary.

This is a bigger disaster than I think most are realizing. 1500 people have been displaced by the flooding with an exceptionally complicated response and recovery.

California needs to separate and become its own country ❤️ (maybe invite Oregon and Washington to come along, to provide unimpeded access to Canadian markets and resources like water?)
Expand or refine their target list, of course.
I was hoping there would be many more rallies in Canada in support of #NoKings. Specifically in Whitehorse so I could attend. Pleased to see over a dozen in Alaska, though - I'd go to the one in Skagway (100 miles south of me), but over 150 Canadians have been detailed in recent months, so nope.
Another $50 million added to the losses. 😀
On this day (October 17th) in 1941, the Long Beach Sun (Long Beach, California) gave its readers a look at the air route being developed from the United States to Russia (soon to be known as the Northwest Staging Route). explorenorth.com/library/avia...
I feel that - how can anyone not know how to wear a mask, almost 6 years into the pandemic????
Thinking about offering a course to add on to Wim Hof's cold therapy - how to improve your life with Extreme Dog Walking. 😀
Calling out corporate greed.
It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!
Two thumbs up for Canadian Tire for their sensitive and generous return of the Hudson's Bay blanket - readthepeak.com/stories/10-2...
Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan is a Republican - of course he lied. He is firmly convinced that you're all stupid, or he wouldn't have been elected even once.
Sen. Dan Sullivan made claims last week that the proposed Ambler Road is supported by all Alaska Native people, but that is a bold lie. Over 70 Alaska Native Tribes, 14 Canadian First Nations, & 3 major tribal consortia, as well the National Congress of American Indians, ALL OPPOSE THE AMBLER ROAD
I pulled the motorcycle out to put it away for the winter yesterday, then changed my mind. The next 4 days could all be riding days.
Yesterday, Ukrainian kamikaze drones again attacked the Russian oil refinery Bashneft in Ufa - 1,400 km from the front line.
In a fairly crowded medical clinic today, 2 people were wearing masks - a staff member with a baggy-blue and me with an N95. Logical thinking just isn't a thing anymore 😔
Burning sourdough bread that badly should get the kitchen staff jail time. And yes, that's twice as thick as mine.
35,000 more drones for Ukraine! ❤️
❗️The international drone coalition, led by the 🇬🇧United Kingdom together with 🇱🇻Latvia, will provide 🇺🇦Ukraine with about 35,000 interceptor drones against the 🇷🇺Russian "Shahed".

I know you don't want to hear about covid, but here's the situation in Canada today anyway. Pretty serious, don't you agree?
Infections in Canada this week are expected to result in 4,500 hospitalizations, 780 deaths (people who die at least 1 year earlier than they would without COVID) and 25,000 new long COVID cases serious enough to limit daily life activities.
