Great Photo – Dave Bronson is the man! Anchorage needs an honest, pragmatic mayor at the helm!
Dave remembers me from when I worked the NWA 747 freighters he piloted. He told me he also had trouble not hitting his head on the main deck’s ceiling as we both had to climb the ladder to get up to the cockpit.
I told him I went up it too fast twice, and should have learned the first time. He said it happened to him too, and that the opening wasn’t designed for people over 6 feet.
Our 747F-100s were designed in the ’60s.
MARK FARNER: I’m Your Captain (Closer To Home – 1970) 2011 LiVE
From: Songfacts — Mark Farner (ex-Grand Funk)
Songfacts: How did you come up with that song? It seems so unusual – so long and it changes gears in the middle.
Farner: Initially the song came to me after I said my prayers one night and I put a P.S. on the end of my prayers. I asked God to give me a song that would touch the hearts of people that the Creator wanted to get to. I got up at 3 o’clock in the morning – I’m always getting up at different times of the night and writing things down. A lot of them are not songs but this happened to be one.
I got up and I wrote it, and as I’m writing it, I’m between the state of subconscious and conscious. I’ve got one foot in dreamland and my pen is writing these words down. It didn’t make a whole lot of sense. It was kind of weird, I thought, as I was writing it. I didn’t sit there on the edge of the bed and read it over and over, I just wrote it down, and when I got to the end of it, I just folded it over and put it on the nightstand. There it was.
Well, in the morning, I got up, I was drinking my coffee, I was looking at the horses out in the pasture, and I got my feet kicked up. I thought, I’ll grab my flattop here. I had an acoustic George Washburn, a resonant guitar from my kitchen – everybody would grab it when they came here. I started playing. Wow, that’s nice, what the heck is that? Then I made that C chord. I made a mistake. I was going for the G and it was a little short and I hit the C. And I looked down because that chord spoke to me in such a way. I’ve never heard that come out, that inversion of the C. I thought, Wow, that’s a cool chord. Then I thought maybe with those words in the other room, maybe that’s a song, so I grabbed the legal pad and laid it down on the table next to my coffee and I just started strumming. “Everybody…” And it just started coming out. …

Petra: ‘Let Everything That Hath Breath’ (Praise the Lord)
I became a Christian in 1974 while reading the Paul and Silas jailer story in Acts 16 mentioned in this song. It was clear to me they had what I wanted. I was trying to find the true source of being able to love others — the one true religion that worked, which I hadn’t found while studying in the Lutheran school system K-12. While in my senior year, I don’t know why, but I decided to start reading the Bible in Acts 1, which I still think is a great place to start.
– –
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Let every creature under God’s sun praise the Lord
Let all the mountains, let all the valleys
Let all the hillsides sing of His glory
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Israel had a war to fight but the Lord showed them the secret
He said the battle this day is mine, but you must listen how to do it
Put your singers first in front of the rest
Let them praise and sing to me
And you will see the salvation of your God
And watch your enemies flee
Paul and Silas were thrown in jail
For preaching the gospel of Christ
Though in chains they praised His name singing songs in the night
Just then an earthquake shook the place and the chains and the doors were loosened
Then the jailer ran in scared to death and that day he found salvation

Wim Hof Cold Showers in Alaska — My Experience
I’ve been taking cold showers for at least a year. Alaska’s tap water is ideal at 41°F in winter and 46°F in summer.
My feet used to get cold outside, but now I can wear summer shoes (with screws for traction) with one pair of regular socks comfortably in slightly below zero Fahrenheit
My hands still get cold though, which I’m finally now theorizing may be because my arms and hands don’t spend much time in the cold water, which I’m going to now change, whereas the feet are in cold water during the entire shower.
As a child, playing outside for hours in Minnesota, and downhill skied without a mask. I frostbit my fingers, toes and nose, and thought they’d never improve.
My toes seem back to normal now at age-63, thanks to Wim Hof and Alaska’s cold tap water!
Life giving therapy that costs nothing!

Daniel Rodriguez: ‘I’ll Walk with God’ — “I’ll never walk alone while I walk with God”
I’ll Walk with God from this day on.
His helping hand I’ll lean upon.
This is my prayer, my humble plea,
May the Lord be ever with me.
There is no death, tho’ eyes grow dim.
There is no fear when I’m near to Him.
I’ll lean on Him forever
And He’ll forsake me never.
He will not fail me
As long as my faith is strong,
Whatever road I may walk along.
I’ll Walk with God, I’ll take His hand.
I’ll talk with God, He’ll understand.
I’ll pray to Him, each day to Him
And He’ll hear the words that I say.
His hand will guide my throne and rod
And I’ll never walk alone
While I walk with God.

From the album ‘From My Heart,’ 2003

Over Age 40 Costco Grocery Haul – Top Foods for 40+
100% Grass Fed Beef *Patties* are half the price of the bison (grass fed) that he shows though, and also has the great fats. Super tasty if not overcooked!
In Anchorage, at this time, Costco doesn’t have the pasture raised OG eggs, just OG cage free.
OG seaweed is a great, nutritious, inexpensive bargain.
Their OG *frozen* blueberries (he shows fresh only) are relatively inexpensive and healthy!
Costco’s Kirkland brand D3 is useless. Get Nature Made D3 there instead.

Greg Lake of Emerson, Lake and Palmer – “In those days, you needed to be original. These days, you have to be the same”
I’m grateful that I grew up when much of the music was originally interesting, instead of straight mind-control, like most of it is today.
– –
“We formed this band, and decided it had to be original. In those days, the currency was originality. You needed to be original. These days, it’s more like you have to be ‘the same’ to fit into some market concept.”
“We decided to use European music for the influence.”
(vid) Third Day: ‘Your Love Oh Lord’ LIVE
Your love, oh Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness
Stretches to the skies
Your righteousness is
Like the mighty mountain, yeah
Your justice flows like
The ocean’s tides
I will lift my voice
To worship You, my King
I will find my strength
In the shadow of Your wings
Second video below shows why the abrupt cut-off in this one.
Third video below shows lyrics.
Then shown is the text of Psalm 36.

Cole Thompson – LET GO OF CARING WHAT OTHER’S THINK – Discovering Your Vision in Landscape Photography
17:30 “The first thing you have to do is just let go. Let go of caring what other people think. Let go of complying. Let go of the rules. Let go of worrying about being criticized. Let go of worrying if the image will be liked or will ever win. … If you’re concerned about all of those external things, vision is not going to be able to happen.”
46 Praise is more dangerous than criticism. It can make you do things you wouldn’t have otherwise.
“…criticism can sting at times that you shake it off, but praise that’s really, it’s actually more dangerous than criticism because it can sway our view of things. And I’ve had my own view of my images swayed by how many likes it gets or how much praise it gets it.”
He only shoots and posts what he really loves. “Don’t produce for ‘likes’ or wins or sales.” “…creating honest work.” Which is “why I never went into photography as a living.” “It’s so freeing to not have to worry about selling.”
