KPTMC funding is money well spent
The debate over funding for non-departmental agencies in this year's Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) budget has heated up -- especially concerning the investment the Borough makes with the Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council (KPTMC). This debate has been largely encouraged by a recent series of editorial columns in the Peninsula Clarion, calling for an end to government investment in tourism marketing.

Long live the pancreas!
Being a diabetic is not easy. If someone offers me a carrot I want to stick it into a huge snowball and add some pebble eyes. Or thinly slice them into coins and stuff them into a candy machine. Hearing the words "blood sugar" makes me think about red velvet cake all sugary and blood red. Odd. Also recently, I switched to soy milk to feel pompous. However when I think of soy beans I just think "beans" and end up visualizing myself pouring refried beans over my cereal. And my ultimate fail as a diabetic is not eating enough vegetables. Even now I had to use spell check, because I can't even spell "vegetables" right. Lame.
