There are no absolutes, no guarantees that anyone or anything will be what you expect or believe. Yet in most online forums all you will hear is absolutes; if it is not done this way it is wrong, if they don’t do this or say this I can’t support them….

Despite my lack of readiness I’m looking forward to cruise ships for these reasons:
It’s nice to see so many people in town enjoying this beautiful place I call home.
All those tourists bring a lot of money to my business and to the city in terms of sales tax and port fees.

9 days till first cruise ship arrives! Are we ready?

It’s time for this! Yukon River Quest, Klondike Road Relay and Skagway Marathon! Maybe if I can beat this carcass into shape I’ll look at the Raven Ultra 50k in Whitehorse…

Yet another day looking sunny in Skagway.

Ahhh the buckwheat ski classic… it’s irreverent, it’s loud, it’s a bunch of friends and people who don’t know each other. It’s what the world needs more of. Thank you Canada for your lovely people and lovely location. The snow castle will stand for sometime.

Is Skagway on your “to visit” list this summer?
Have you been before?

This is scary
Whitehorse, Yukon, is one of the warmest places in Canada this morning! And the forecast is for it to go above freezing by Friday.

When you travel what’s something you miss about your hometown while you’re gone?
For me it’s the mornings in front of the stove watching the sunrise on the mountains out my windows. Nowhere compares…

It’s good to be back in the mountains I love.

What is this warm sunlight?

In NOLA… why is the AC so freaking cold? I’m constantly cold indoors.

This is just the start of limit testing presidential power…
NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

The pause on all Federal Grants is scary for all those who are affected by the loss of funding but even more scary is the attempt to erode Congressional power and give more power to the president.
This is a direct attack on the balance of power.

Wet and windy in Skagway but a 20 min drive up the road found paradise.

It’s called Denali.

In Skagway we have 1 electrician and he bills out at 175-220ish/hr. He is booked out for at least a month. We have plumber who comes to town when the jobs are big enough to make it worthwhile. There is one General Contractor who does residential work and he is pretty busy.

No one talks about how difficult it is to live in a tiny town with limited services. I’m plumbing and wiring an apartment I’m building myself today because I can’t hire anyone to do it.

I was sent this picture yesterday from a friend who was up at Log Cabin for a x-country ski. Groomed and tracked it doesn’t get better than this.

Azriel #shadowsinger is disgruntled because my wife is sleeping in and he doesn’t like me but he needs someone to cuddle with.

The clouds are low this morning and the day still. Everything is painted in white and my coffee is good. Every morning like this I’m in awe that I get to live the life I have.

I write about life in Skagway, AK the #1 cruise destination in Alaska. Hope you follow along to see more of this town during the offseason and during the summer when we host 1.3 million visitors!

Skiff of snow on the ground, dead calm outside and right around 0C.... second cup of coffee in hand...
Days like this are not good for my productivity outside but they are good writing days. Maybe I will get a new post out on my Substack today...
