This made me chuckle.

Alaska Aims to Make Pork Kosher

Alaska gets $1.89 from D.C. for every dollar it pays in taxes, which makes it the second biggest recipent (after New Mexico) of federal largesse. Troubled by the state's well-deserved reputation for sponging off the rest of the country, which was reinforced by last year's allocation of $450 million for two widely ridiculed "bridges to nowhere" in Alaska, Gov. Frank Murkowski is planning a P.R. campaign "to change the perception of Alaska and its people as greedy for federal money," as the Associated Press puts it. Maybe he can get a federal grant for the project.

Oh, was he talking about us? I actually found the blizzard a relief, gave me an excuse to stay home and veg. Sunday.

Snow is much fun, especially if you don't have to go outside in it.

Although the Young do enjoy playing in it.

We made all the cats stay inside, and that was funny -- the 3 orange "kittens" (aged almost 6) got bored and chased each other all day. My idea of fun is probably kind of boring. ;^)
