Well, I don't have a lot to say this month, yet.

"Untold Stories from Iraq and Afghanistan" is still proceeding thus far, albeit at a much smaller scale due to the fundraiser not being as well attended as it could have. Clayton said it was just above break even, and he's hoping the second fundraiser will be much more successful! Still, 1,000 copies beats 0 copies to print (being able to do 5,000 was the goal however).

I've decided not to bother with the Tananna Valley State Fair this year due to their attitude toward the Alaska State Statute stating that is legal to carry concealed WITHOUT a permit, unless private property owners decide other wise. Currently, the Tananna Valley State Fair organization has decided not to allow firearms on their property. Even security is un-armed... Which leaves the place vulnerable to random violence that almost exploded last year with an influx of gang activity. Its a poor decision to make in a state where most folks go forth armed everyday, and its not because of humans either (if you ever, almost quite literally, run into an 800 lbs cow moose and her calves on your way out the door, you'll understand)....

Meanwhile, I'm slowly building up my body of artwork to sell. I'm currently in the middle of painting a bass drum for a friend, I've got a couple pieces sold already. Soon to update when I get the pictures, most likely will do so on my account when I do.
