update to entry 158: Some guys put some ice in my water tank, so I have more of a supply. Also, someone (I'm not sure who) delivered 32 pints of bottled water. (Thank you!!)

update to entry 151: The seder with Chabad of Anchorage was very nice. A larger ratio of food time to services time than I am used to. The food was great!

update to entry 138: The carbon monoxide detector I got never went off, so I assume I am not being poisoned. My heater still makes lots of noise though. sometimes it squeals, sometimes it clunks, sometimes it rattles, and sometimes it squeals and clunks. It makes it hard to sleep. Also, sometimes when it changes noises it wakes me up.

update to entry 96: In Anchorage, Max got a shortish haircut, but not that short. It has all grown back, and he is back to being shaggy. (There is no groomer here.) He is really cute! See picture.

update to entry 95: I got televsion about a month ago. I started the process when I got here. It took some time to get the paperwork done, because the offces in Anchorage aren't that organized. Then they were backordered, and it took a while for them to get the dish mailed out, which they did in the middle of December. Once it was sent out, I kept waiting for it and never received it. I finally called andd was told that the dish was sitting around in Kotzebue. Micro-Com just sends the dish to Kotzebue, and then you have to make the arrangements for it to be shipped the rest of the way, something they neglected to tell me. I made the arrangements, and received the dish sometme n February. At that time of year it is too cold here or someone to spend hours on my roof installing the dish and trying to turn it to get the signal. I finally got someone to put up th dish in the middle of March.

update to entry 65: Making rock candy with my science classes did not work well. Most of them didn't get hard, but just kind of became a mushy mess.
