We now have cable TV and DSL internet service at home! Yay! We haven't been able to watch TV at home for over a year now. Our house in Virginia was situated so that we could not hit a satellite and cable didn't reach that far. We had to move to the wilds of Alaska to be able to watch reruns of MASH and discernible reality TV.

There appears to be more snow on the mountains I can see from my work cubicle. They are across the Knik Arm, an extension of Cook Inlet. They look beautiful with the snow glistening in the sunlight.

Speaking of neat sights, we came across three moose butts driving down Northern Lights Blvd the other day. Presumably the moose butts were attached to moose fronts. But we caught their hind ends as they "dashed" into the trees by the road. A mommy and her fairly large twins. The mommy was huge if the size of her rear end was any indication. Makes me think of that song about "Big Butts"... :o) I know some of you know what I'm talking about, and the song is probably running through your head right now.

By the way, Northern Lights Blvd is a strip-mall-laden street in Anchorage. But there are lots of wooded patches throughout the city. So far, all the moose we've ever seen in Alaska have been in the city of Anchorage...
