I love a good read and I just may buy it. 515 pages. I read a biography years ago about a teacher to the natives by Lake Iliamna. That was a great book. She was sad though, because there wasn't much interest in learning to read and write among those natives. As I recall they were Inuit. I'm part Cherokee (Oklahoma) and I have some cousins like that. Thankfully, my grandfather and several of his siblings were much more ambitious and one great uncle was a physicist and actually worked with Einstein and Rutherford at White Sands on the first nuclear bomb. My family has those who are very educated, mostly hospital administrators, nurses and a few doctors, and then there's a large contingency of first cousins in and around Ada, Oklahoma, who do nothing except have babies.

One of the main things I remember about being down on the beach at Clam Gulch were 3 large rocks out in the ocean. The rock on the left was tall, and looked sort of like a seated person sitting upright, the one in the middle was flat, resembling a table and the the one on the right looked like someone hunched over studying which chess piece to move next. I dubbed them the "Chess Game" but I'm sure lots of other people see other things than that.

Ha! We spent several days at Clam Gulch . . . clamming during a very low tide. Amazing! I still have some of the shells from the razor clams we dug. It was amazing how big chunks of coal would wash up new each day and there'd be people with pickups picking up the coal. Further up from where we were digging, a large female grizzly with a cub in tow was also clamming. Obviously you understand where my pseudonym comes from. Iliamna was venting the whole time we were camped across the bay from that majestic volcano. VERY GOOD memories from Alaska. We caught our legal limit each day on the Kenai and met quite a few locals who were also fishing (combat style) on the Kenai. We also had to retreat to our RV when a large male moose wandered into the area. We saw a lot of moose and bear across the state. I was blessed to have stayed there for 2 months and then I had to return to work in Texas, but we drove down the Al-Can to Seattle where I caught a flight back to Austin..

NO ONE, other than Alaskan natives, are allowed to own a single eagle's feather. You can actually go to prison if you're caught with eagle feathers and/or be fined up to $250,000 for being in possession of one.
Go fishing instead. I've been fishing in Alaska and one of my 'bucket wishes' was to go 'combat' fishing on the Kenai river and I got to spend a day there doing that. It was awesome.

Christians adopt lots of 'unwanted' children, many with disabilities. What you posted is such a LIE, it's nearly breathtaking. What you said is what you WANT TO BELIEVE about Christians, and my be true for some, but is totally false for most.

I've written about this before. . . After I first graduated from college with my BSN, I believed that a******ns were just fine. My first job at a public hospital was on the gyn floor, where at least 10 to 12 a******ns were done every day. I encountered a number of women who regretted their 'choice' but there is NO GOING BACK once the a******n is complete. A certain percent of those babies aren't k**led outright in the womb . . some come out gasping and moving, although severely burned from the 'salting out' procedure. Those young babies feel very real pain and will cry and gasp when they 'survive' for a short time after being aborted.
When you say you're pro choice, that is what you're defending. And, Peter, nearly half of all a******ns here in the USA are black babies. Do you still support a******ns? Or just for white ones?

It's not just Walgreen's that closing shop. There are many business that have closed due to the rampant shoplifting. Once nearly all the stores are closed , then where will real shoppers have to go to buy their food, medications and et cet? Where the shoplifters have to go to steal their goodies? And yet many of these 'victems' still v**e democratic. Amazing.
The only way to stop this is with a return to genuine law enforcement. That will never happen in :California.

They should be tried for drug smuggling and murder and get at least 20 yrs to life! I suspect they'll,just be sent back to their homes (at taxpayer expense), but I shouldn't be so pessimistic. I have to wonder how many of those waiting to cross are bringing illegal drugs with them. I hope the border patrol searches every one of them with some really good "smelling" dogs. Then ship each and every one of them to Washington DC or wherever Biden is staying.

I don't think that law can stand. Yes, they screwed up and refused to look at the evidence about v***r f***d, but they do occassionially get something right.

I hope she's immediately deported ! ! ! This really makes me angry.

This bill will be appealed to the Supreme Court and will HAVE to be overturned. This is clear discrimination and harassment.

Quietly, the Biden administration has been dismantling our ability to defend ourselves. We are definitely not safer with this bunch of idjits running our military. But, hey, at least Our recruits are going to be well-versed in CRT and the appropriate adverbs to use in any situation.

When Jesus Christ was on the cross, He took upon Himself the penalty for the sin and sins of mankind. It was the most cruel death ever. When the work of salvation was complete, His last utterance was "tetelestai".. Koine Greek for "It is finished.'
Historically, The term was used in ancient accounting, to indicate when a debt was completely paid. The debtor was now free.

It is and that is probably the most important word ever spoken in the entirety of human history.

How many of you here at OPP know what 'tetelestai' means and why is it important to you?
