  1. And no, I'm not the only one who has ever thought about it....
    But as the intercontinentalrailway.com railway webpage states:
    "technological, geopolitical, and financial challenges thwarted its construction time and time again”

    the tech and the finances are available. What still eludes us are the geopolitical conditions.

  6. If the world wasn't so full of greedy, idiotic, assholes we could have ultra high speed zero-emission electric trains connecting North America and Asia and we wouldn't need to pollute the skies or the seas.

    🤝

    We probably burn more fuel in a day with all the air traffic in the world than it would take to build the entire railway from Prince George or Edmonton through Fairbanks, across the Bering Sea/Land Bridge and on to Yakutsk, Moscow, and Beijing.

    It's such a shame, you know?

  11. 🚧💅 Today’s commute has two personalities: “moving along” and “absolutely not.”
    Everything else is just background noise with brake lights.

  13. Speed doesn’t forgive mistakes, and some Anchorage corridors are proving it over and over again. The Glenn Highway and key connector zones keep showing up in serious pedestrian crashes.

  23. We called it a day, knowing we had to return the rental car and get to the airport for the return flight home. But first we had to find a gas station to top off the tank of the rental.

    After a quick fill-up, as we're about to turn onto the highway, guess what we see?

  28. But wait! There's more...

    The moose family was somewhat gratifying. But we were on a busy highway sitting significantly lower than the moose. The view was not the best. After getting some lunch, we set out to find moose again.

    We went back to Kincaid park. No luck.

    We drove through several areas around the Anchorage airport. No luck.

    We went back to Kincaid park yet again, driving through 3 or 4 more times. No luck.

  33. We decided to turn around and go back for a second look. Here's what we found.

    An adult (presumably the mama) and two calves lying in a neighborhood yard against a wooden privacy fence.

    The age old wise advice is that you never approach an animal that is with their young. Were the residents in the house trapped until the moose fam left?

  38. On the ride from Chugach back into town, my sister in law tells us she thought she saw something in someone's yard, but she wasn't sure what it was.

    We chuckled and started guessing what she actually saw.

    A wood pile?

    A shed?
