This picture shows us a whole new meaning for "getting on your face" LOL. LOL. LOL.
While visiting a friend, he took a little snooze on the couch. His cat sat on his face, lifted it's hind leg and proceeded to clean up itself.
Now please tell me why does a cat do that???? Is it because it can? LOL.
I searched the museum in Wikipedia, because I was curious what it looks like. It's fascinating!
There's still one thing that interests me: it seems the boat is standing in a darker area. It almost looks like a bunker(?), without windows. Is it inside the building?
Gorgeous!
No, I was in the Coast Guard. I was stationed in Kodiak three times in my career. Those were from 2006, my last tour in Kodiak. Also my last tour in the Coast Guard. Here are a couple more. I'd just gotten my EOS Canon 20D DSLR, and was in love with it.

Why construction during the winter in Canada is a bad idea...

Inside this tent is a bricklayer trying to build walls....the steel pipe sticking out of the sand pile has a propane burner blasting through it to stop the sand from freezing.

Just found some old photos in my iPhoto, decided to edit and post them!
Thanks. I'm wondering if I should go on the roller coaster. People say it's really smooth.I've ridden on that roller coaster, but not the Ferris wheel. Great picture.
Wowza, you're almost an Alaskan .
Did you make to mainland often? Homer? Soldotna/Kenai? Anchorage?
My second tour was in the late 80's. At that time we had to travel to Coast Guard units all over Alaska to repair and maintain the old Teletype system. I went to Seward, Cordova, Attu, and a scattering of other places once or twice a year. I even had overnight stops at Sitka a couple times. And, of course, I've passed through Anchorage several times. Unfortunately, almost all my pictures, mostly film, have been lost from that time.
I spent a tour on the US Coast Cutter Polar Sea, at the time one of the two largest ice breakers in the U.S.. I visited Nome, briefly, several times a a part of polar science missions on the the Polar Sea, and later the Healy.
On other temporary assignments and travels I've been to Juno, Sitka, Homer, Dutch Harbor, and even spend a night at Tok when I drove up the ALCAN to get to my final tour. And probably a handful of places that aren't popping to mind right now.
Over all I probably spent over a third of my career in or visiting Alaska.
But my first taste of Alaska is when I got a summer job at Bethel. I don't think I'd have gone back on purpose after that one..
Here is a picture of my at-that-time-favorite toy, with a nice Kodiak AK background.
