Idk how I am going to find a new place I can afford, even with a co-signer and roommates bc prices have gone up so much. People keep buying up small houses here and turning them into airbnbs instead of renting them to locals, and few in Alaska are dumb enough to move in winter. Nothing is available!

What happened?? Work on adjacent unit blew something up, nuked our water heater, and has left me with half power. Landlord can’t afford repairs and is kicking me out instead. Enjoy my Edison panel from the 1940s, original to the home.
A very old electrical panel from the 1940s called an Edison panel.

@mac-b5.stickimporters.com do you happen to know if there’s a way to easily extract (or find!) the contour lines of a topo map? I’m looking for just the contour lines of the Fairbanks area for a project

I think the only part where volunteers are mostly Outsiders is the ceremonial start, the rest are staffed by people in the villages

Fun fact, only NHL game to ever get rained out (yes rain, indoor game) was when the river in SJ flooded and the roads around the arena were flooded.

I just looked at the BOR and honestly, this is happening bc it’s comprised of C-suite level businesspeople and not mushers.

Lastly, get new blood. The current CEO and Board just don't seem to get it and the race is bleeding support - not just from sponsors, but from mushers and fans. It's expensive and it's rapidly becoming less attractive than races like the Kusko 300. If it can be saved, it needs new blood. 7/7

Justin went to the uni where I work and since I’m in their PR dept, I knew immediately what we had in Justin. How could Iditarod not see it too??

They have amazing stories every year - human and canine - yet won't tell them if they aren't in the front pack. The PR they could have done with Justin Olnes's rescue dogs. With Pepe being almost 12. Every musher has those stories, but the Iditarod and the Insider ignore them. 4/

Tbh Nascar also had this problem of their own creation — pack racing on superspeedways— and to fix it they invented a car that can launch into the air like a plane. I’m not joking. Google Ryan Preece, he’s currently flying very close to the sun literally and figuratively. Surprised he’s still alive.

They also can't decide what they want to be - a NASCAR race or an Alaska survival adventure. So that leaves them trying to be two things and doing both poorly. The CEO won't stop giving AR activists the attention they want. They get more insular when they need to be more inclusive. 3/

And don’t ask for any new volunteers in the adjusted race area! No need!

I used to follow the Preds (their home games are a BLAST!!) but Wings were a divisional rival of San Jose before realignment and Boston and the Habs beef goes WAAAAAAAAAY back.
