I wish this Solly’s would combine with the other Solly’s, that way I could eat a Rusty Eggel (egg, cheese, pastrami on an everything bagel) with a $3 beer.

[Flash 10 is required to watch video]
My first ever video project. The result of sitting alone in a campsite in British Columbia.

Two days before we left town, we took a 10 hour boat ride to Tracy Arm, which is a fjord that splits into a Y with a tidal glacier at the head of each branch. The boat we were on was small enough to pick its way through the icebergs that had calved from the glaciers but big enough that it still felt safe. The floating ice near the glaciers is the summer breeding ground for seals (because the ice provides protection from the orcas) so we were surrounded by seals of all ages relaxing on the ice. We even saw huge chunks of ice calving into the water. It couldn’t have been a better show.
The huge iceberg in the pictures had already floated 20 miles down the arm, so it was way bigger when it broke from the glacier.

Meet Gus the dog. He was a regular at the Douglas Inn (aka Louie’s), a bar up the street from my house. Legend has it the folks at Louie’s used to call a cab and have it take Gus to a bar in Juneau, where Gus would get a hot dog and then take the cab back. There is an old newspaper clipping that shows Gus lying in the middle of an intersection in Douglas. Maybe not the smartest dog. Anyway, after Gus passed on, Louie’s wanted a keepsake for the bar, but you can’t taxidermy a dog in Alaska, so the head on the wall is actually Gus stretched over a bear skull.
