Gregory's ServerI love how hyper-local the FM radio news are up here. The whole morning news segment covered nothing but the time when the tide will turn, whale and bear sightings, the time that the food carry ship will reach the public dock, the vegetables that are expected to be ready for harvest this month - the birthday of a local fisherman.

@ritualdust you would have laughed, it had this moment like "Hey Peter, we know you're somewhere in the rain pickup your crab pots, here that one's for you B-52's Walk Like An Egyptian", no context, not explanation. @neauoire What station is that? I have an image of them on the station porch in a rocker with a remote mic. @neauoire incredible. That's so sweet! Stations here in Indiana usually cover a large fraction of the state and are rather corporate. The smaller coverage local stations are usually mostly political talk. Either put on by backwards locals or just syndicated nasties spreading hate. One I can pick up has a call in classified ads show that's somehow still going. Pretty interesting there at least.  @neauoire Central/North Coast BC is such a vibe. Maybe I go try to work a commercial boat up there some day as a path to permanent residency or something 😅 How close are the bears to you two according to the sightings? @klardotsh I didn't know the name of the town they said, the radio signal was kind of crap, I only heard words here and there. @klardotsh couldn't you just said to Sitka or something, you have an american passport no? @neauoire Yeah, all of Southeast Alaska has similar vibes assuming the US survives the next few years 😅 Anywhere between Ketchikan and like Seward is on my radar for potential places to land when I build the homestead. (I'm increasingly thinking "live aboard cruising those islands" may be part of my plans in the mean time, since land sales move slowly (and horribly expensively) up there) |
@neauoire that sounds like quite wholesome news, we definitely need more of that in our lives.
