Seward's Day?

[glacier_kitty]

Today is apparently a holiday I'd never heard of till a few days ago..it's Seward's Day. I guess it commemorates when Seward bought Alaska from Russia..nice haha

Eep..grandma's in the hospital having problems with her lymphoma again..the first chemical they used didn't work so her tumor kept growing..they're gonna try other chemicals though. And she's throwing up acid again..poor grandma..

Some guy yesterday told me to jump on the river..cause it was safe. Uh huh..

Whoa..a video of Redoubt erupting!: http://vimeo.com/3892358



Rainbow Falls, 1.5-2 miles from Devil's Postpile on the middle fork of the San Joaquin River. I soo got blisters from walking in those shoes (I didn't know I'd be going to Mammoth for sure so I just brought those. Fail)


Head-bolt heater: With this gadget, Alaskans keep the cold from turning their automobile engines into ice sculptures. Electrical heaters are installed in a car's engine and plugged into an outlet when the car is parked. The heat keeps the water in the engine from freezing

Wow! That's a really gorgeous video. :) I'm jealous that you're even that close to a volcano. They're so cool.

I hope your grandma is doing well soon, I'm sorry she has to go through that.

lol I'm not really that close..it's 100 miles from Anchorage and I'm 6 hours from Anchorage. Though I'm close enough to see ash in the sky still. The webcam has a sweet view of the volcano right now: http://www.avo.alaska.edu/webcam/Redoubt_-_Hut.php

Thanks lol

Oh no! I hope your grandma feels better. That's scary. :(

That's awesome that you can see ash from your window! Volcanoes are so powerful...wow.

I have never heard of Seward's Day either...you learn something new every day! Haha.
