You can believe in global warming if you like, as you did in the 'global cooling' scare of a few years ago, but I'm calling it a natural weather cycle. The lower states are surely suffering more than we in Anchorage, as I note the temperature in Chicago area and north of there are in the minuses now -- that's Fahrenheit, and here we are at PLUS 10 today. But it does seem like winters are long, altho' the daylight in Central Alaska is increasing by 8 minutes a day.
The Alaska Magic Circle is preparing for the annual Winter Magic Show on February 9th, which we have been holding at the lovely theatre in the library for the past few years. One of 'our own', Landon Swank, will be flying home to be our guest performer, and it's been a pleasure to watch him grow . . . in size, stature, and professionally. He's attending UNLV now, and actually has an opening gig with Carrot Top in Las Vegas, the mecca for magicians. Free publicity is hard to get, and since we are running a shoe string operation, we are lucky to have the promotion of a magic hobbyist, Bill Tobin, who kindly runs a paragraph online in the Voice of the Times, our former hard copy newspaper. Ah, I see the day when all the newspapers will be online, altho' I still subscribe to our hard copy paper from habit, I guess.
