Yesterday I took the bull by the horns and drove 60 miles north to Wasilla (from where you can see Russia according to MS. Palin) to interview a fellow about his interactions with wildlife last year. The weather was quite breezy and I counted six cars off the road, one upside down and one on its side and the others just stuck in snow. The conditions called for careful driving so I obliged. Arriving back in Anchorage in the late afternoon I ate a burrito, took a nap and spent the evening sitting with Maija by the fire. We watched Saura's 'El Amor Brujo" again, always a treat.
