eskimo power

Instagram this is a peek into the life of a yup'ik eskimo hunter. i have a conscience--don't get me wrong, but sometimes i operate without one. crazy? maybe. blood thirsty savage? most definitely.

count your blessings, not the ‘headaches’

i tried to get on the early morning anchorage-kotzebue alaska airlines flight yesterday, flight 151.  since i fly space-available, i was ‘bumped’ and had to wait 4/5 hours for the next flight, flight 152.  i was bugged.

feelings of unluckiness and uneasiness overwhelmed my conscious as i sat on one of the airport benches. 

i opened up my laptop and signed into facebook.  i read a friend’s post saying she was happy to be alive and with family.  this is a friend who is currently battling pancreatic cancer and very happy to be with family. 

my ill feelings toward my current predicament quickly faded and i was happy to chill at concourse c7 and wait for the next flight.
