Tomorrow's Likely Topic: There won't be one, but if there were, it would be "I Hate Running in the Rain"

Though most people say they hate seeing other people's vacation photos, I've decided to do what I do best, run my mouth, and give a narrative to my Alaska frolic, complete with pictures. It will help me to remember the story behind the pictures, because I know they'll start to run together over time. I'll probably post the bulk of my photos on some sharing web site, but the highlights, and the story, will be here.

But I'm not going to start now. I've figured out how to drive to the start line, I've come to grips with the nasty weather for tomorrow, and I've realized I left my band-ades at home .... all things that, after today's drive, have left me kind of drained. How am I going to avoid nipple rash with no band-ades?!?? Sorry. I'm still in the denial phase about that packing blunder. So until I have more time, here are a few highlights of one of the most amazing things I've seen ... Exit Glacier ... and a few shots to show how, for a brief moment, I made Alaska a better place.

Exit Glacier, from about two miles away

Getting closer ....

Almost there ...

Exit Glacier!

I found a plain eagle ....

For a brief moment, it was a War Eagle!
