Hey all,
At Bill Dennis’s request, this entry is to let you know that the Peoria Pundit weblog is alive and well, but has changed addresses. He was having some hosting problems, with which I can certainly sympathize, being a refugee from the debacle that was Featureprice.

“Well this stretch of road’s been pretty boring.”
“Yeah, we haven’t seen anything except for some…”
“Trees” is what I meant to say, but what came out was “Bears!!”
We started out this morning by going to the Talkeetna Roadhouse for breakfast. For $7.50 they give you about 3 eggs, a mound of [...]
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would go to base camp at Mt. McKinley.
The morning dawned dry and clearing, and we woke to the sounds of planes flying out of the Talkeetna airport every few minutes. I looked out the windows and saw mountains. It was shaping up to [...]
A very quiet birthday. All we did today was drive from Cooper Landing up to Talkeetna, which took around 3 hours. We stopped in Anchorage on the way to grab some lunch and get an FM transmitter for the iPod. The weather changed around midnight last night and it’s been steadily raining, [...]
Today was kind of a free day and we didn’t have any plan as to what to do. We ended up deciding to go to Seward. After showering and dressing, we headed out around noonish and got into town around an hour later. We were starved and stopped at Roy’s Waterfront for [...]
Sportfishing is a lot like hunting - when the adrenaline is pumping you don’t notice things that are going to hurt later. I brought in a 62 inch long halibut today - 122 lbs. It took me about 15 minutes to reel it in and during the process I bruised the tops of [...]
Woke up around 9 this morning. I’d stayed up late last night trying to see if it was ever going to get dark. By 12:30 I realized that it would not. I was so hoping to see some aurora, too. Oh well. Just means that I will have to come [...]
It’s 10:45 in the evening. It’s just starting to get dusk here in Cooper Landing, Alaska. Our trip started this morning in Austin when our plane left at 9:40, connected through Houston, and ended up in Anchorage at 4:30 Alaska time, which is 7:30 Austin time. We drove two hours south into [...]
This guy didn’t fare as well as the others. First of all I think the cat had been at him previously, since he only had 4 legs left before I started grabbing at him with tweezers to get him out from behind the mantel. And I didn’t realize that spider killer would um, [...]
It’s interesting. Normally we get a ton of mail and catalogs every day. After my note to the mailman the other day, we only got one envelope. I’ll bet the rest went into the trash.
Oh and I found another brown recluse in the house yesterday.
