Alaska Dispatch: Don't plan on keeping any Kenai... →
There hasn’t been a king salmon like Les Anderson’s world record pulled from Alaska’s Kenai River 28 years ago. But you’ll need to land a fish nearly a big for it to be a keeper.

If you are in Juneau and ever get a chance to hear Bob Banghart, Dave Hunsaker and/or Patrick Murphy play, take it. I saw them play music (under the name “The Dark Ages”— nice!) for Haxan for the “Not-So-Silent” film series last weekend, and they were so terrific— made the movie so great. And Haxan on its own was a trip and had many facets.

From the moment we heard of an explosion at the Boston Marathon, the talk on television, Twitter, and in everyday conversations has been about which category the killers belonged to. Muslims?
