Great to see you too, its been a while! I’m on an island, so hoping to see a polar bear.

I had to drive inland a ways to pick someone up and saw an Arctic fox in the morning, and oddly enough about 10 caribou that decided to spend the winter here. They migrate south in the winter, and spend the summer here. I’ve heard that occasionally a few will winter here, but become rather weak and usually become bear food in the spring-time.

Interesting, I’m watching a History Channel show about Alaska as I type this, in between working on an article.

Went to the SHOT Show in Las Vegas week before last, then spent a week sick with a bronchial infection. I’m okay now, but that’ll teach me to go out among 40,000 people.

Now they are talking about the Iditarod. Cool.

Hope you get to see a Polar Bear. If you see Paul McCartney and his now very rich ex wife up there saving baby seals, or the HSUS folks saving the Polar Bears, take some photos (grin).

How long will you be there? Hope you get to see the big caribou migration this coming summer.
