Open Thread – Alaska Grown
As the Alaskan summer enters its final weeks, we at TheMudflats.net enjoyed some late summer carrots and strawberries bought at the South Anchorage Farmers Market. So, as school starts here in Anchorage next week, we ask, “What did you do over Summer vacation?”

Slate magazine published a U.S. map that reportedly shows every citizen as a dot.
Hey, did you see me waving at you? Right there, in GA; look — see me? I’m right there…yeah, here I am, the dot to the left… beth.
Thank heaven you weren’t in Alaska or Hawaii.

From Juanita Jeans-the overwhelming majority of counties where foodstamp use has increased the most voted for Mittens Romney last year. Stats are mind boggling.
What did I do this summer? Pulled the weeds and smoked the salmon.
You’d have had more fun if you reversed those action verbs…… ben runs for the hills….
Dang, benlomond2, that thought was right on the tip of my fingers… beth.
I have been growing interest in the “growing” civilian body count in Iraq. I hope rwnj burn a long time in hell for what they have done to civilians since dumbass dubya arbitrarily decided to destroy Iraq in order to save it.

We won,We won! What the sam hill did we win???? Over a thousand civilian/police deaths in one month alone,over 4100 civilians killed this year.
mike… it just doesn’t matter…it’s only American lives that count,.. and then only if it’s someone you personally know, or was a football star… Everyone else is “collateral damage”.. and doesn’t count, cuz they’re fuzzies, or turban heads, gooks, or just because they deserved it for not being christian and have their OWN culture that isn’t like America… But we went over there and showed them, didn’t we?? Just kicked their a**es , blew them to smithereens for daring to be the same religion as those Saudis that took out the twin towers… Mike.. it doesn’t make any difference that we destroyed thousands of lives created, thousands of orphans, widows, maimed and disabled… we blew those people back to the Stone Age, didn’t we?? yes sir.. I’m frigging PROUD to be an American….. Get with the program, will ya?? You’re not suppose to look at reality… you’re suppose to look at everything thru Red,White and Blue colored glasses…

Alaska carrots are the best anywhere.
