Cry me a bucket of...

snow and norovirus.

Upstate New York has a bunch of snow. And the point is what? We had over 90 inches of snow in Juneau in the month of November. Did we make national headlines? Uh, this is Alaska, of course we didn't.

Two hospitals in North Carolina have had a norovirus outbreak. Well, we had a norovirus outbreak a couple months ago in Juneau. Again, did we make national headlines? Nope.

Tonight was nice and clear, and cold. The stars were out, but no lights. They are supposed to be out nice and bright Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night. Too bad it's supposed to snow those nights. No lights for us in Juneau. Maybe the rest of Alaska will have better luck seeing them.

My eldest child is home from Iraq for a few weeks. It's nice to have a few weeks of not having to worry about him over there. I didn't realize how worried I was until he called and left a message that he was stateside.

That's it for now from a rare sunny Juneau.
