NATIVE YOUTH OLYMPICS

ALERT! This is a BIG deal. The Native Youth Olympics, NYO, is coming next week here to James C Isabel school here in Teller AK.

There are many many different native sports, talents, events. I cant wait. I have heard the announcements for NYO practice times but I had no idea what it meant. Now I do, sort of.

AND the DISCOVERY CHANNEL is going to be here.

As you know, I will be there with my camera as well.

Also... if I have it right, we can watch it live streaming: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/bssd-student-broadcasting-team

The school doesn't have enough room for all the participants, We are about a hundred spaces short. They will be sleeping in the halls, wherever there is a flat spot. AND there will be school as usual during the day. WHAT???? WHERE???? HOW???? I have no idea.

IF ANY OF YOU CAN GIVE ME IDEAS HOW I CAN DRESS TO LOOK OFFICIAL AT THE EVENTS SO I CAN STAND IN FRONT OF SPECTATORS TO TAKE PICTURES, LET ME KNOW!

Will keep you updated!

Where are the keys?????

Serious Lecture

These State Troopers and Fire Police EMS came to school to talk to the students about how dangerous it is to drink and drug. Not so long ago, here in Teller, a person passed out in the outside cold weather. Because of the position the person was in a limb did not have circulation and was frozen. The limb had to be amputated.

I have never thought of that being a consequence. From the lower 48, it is crashing into something, rolling the vehicle, head on collisions, etc. There are only a few trucks here. No cars. The village is so small everybody walks. Some snow machines and of course, four wheelers.

Just in case.....

I am gone, but NOT FORGOTTEN. I refuse to be on the "Remember when" list. I will be on the "have you heard or seen what Bonnie did?"

FINALLY!! My Computer is Freeee!!!

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

My computer is Free! I had 128,000 pictures on my computer, filled it up until it froze, completely froze. Would not move click, it was done, fried, shacked and baked.

I have an external hard drive, a terabyte , 1000 GB back up. I have 400 GB left. I like pictures! whew.

I am back in business now. Woo Hoo!

Still Stalled in Picturevillle

I am still transferring 128.000 pictures. Discovered I have 2500 on my desktop alone. It is a very long and slow process. If anyone knows a faster process, let me know. I am transferring them to an external drive. All I do is transfer 12 at a time and look at the rainbow of death, do I want to replace, stop or whatever. It hurts. My brain hurts. Any band aids?

School's out School's out.....

Today was another blizzard. They called off school. Can you believe that? There is a community of students that is about 2 miles away. With a blizzard and drifting the bus could not get through.

Nome was closed down today, not just the schools, but the big grocery stores and most of the shops and businesses. Amazing!

It is supposed to rain tomorrow. I am not sure what kind of soup that will make, will let you know. Love ya!
