That's how much sunlight we had in Bethel today. Sunrise at 6:35 and sunset at 11:30.
This is usually the first question that people ask me about living in Alaska: winter and summer light.

There have been several times I wanted to add short blurbs about what's been going on, but then I just kept living my real world life. It's been a full spectrum gamut from negative to positive these last few months - & I am so on top of the world now.
I've been cheating. Just a little. I started a new blog: http://careyrunsalaska.blogspot.com/. This came about after deciding to take on training for a half marathon & a 15.75 mile run at Lost Lake, Seward, Alaska. Thanks for the jump start, Deanna. While reading this hilarious & non-threatening running book, I am encouraged to write & track my progress. It'll be fun to look back on how far I've come.
So, check out my new blog &, hey, you might feel like making a running goal too. Or at least you should be happy that you have the choice.

Small is Beautiful
Small is Beautiful: Economics As If People Mattered
By British economist E. F. Schumacher (p. 12-14)
The most fateful error is production. The captains, the economists, the journalists. They agree that for rich, now is ‘education for leisure’ and, for poor ‘transfer of technology.’ Human wickedness is the fault of ‘the system.’ In an erroneous view the ‘problem’ has been solved. Man’s attitude to nature as an outside force is a battle. If won he’d lose. We overlook rapidly consuming capital. We labour to make capital. Capital by nature is being used up. It is absurd to believe the problem of production has been solved.
This was another "found poem." His words - my editing. I read two pages from Small is Beautiful and underlined the words I wanted for the poem, to be read sequentially. My aim was to summarize and have the sentences be real sentences. It turned out close to my aim. This was kind of a challenging task; it was like I was reading and composing synchronistically. Try it - it definitely takes a mind shift.
