It’s sooooo slow, and expensive, I have to turn my modem off 12 hrs a day, even then I only have 0% left 3 weeks into my cycle. A few months ago I ordered SkyLink. My neighbors got it, and love it. Both the sons are computer geeks, live in Salt Lake M-F,nand they both say StarLink is amazing. I can’t wait. Living in rural America definitely has its pluses and minuses, so, we go with it the best we can.Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824885391970975150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-24879659817474651212021-09-11T18:25:06.827-04:002021-09-11T18:25:06.827-04:00Oooh, don't give up on The Great Alone...great...Oooh, don't give up on The Great Alone...great read despite some passages that are difficult.

I just watched a good movie on Netflix called Wind River. It wasn’t in Alaska but at the end it told about how many native women are missing and that the BIA doesn’t even keep records for missing women hence they rarely even look for them.

We are making Basket Toss quilts from my scraps. Our in-person retreat of two was filled with laughter and sweet memories. One year ago we made Grassy Creek together by phone and FaceTime. There is no doubt that our friendship while long lasting has been enriched by our quilting stories.

I listened to the whole thing and was satisfied with the ending. I just hadn't anticipated something this dark from her. I did listened to the Four Winds on your recommendation and enjoyed it very much even though it normally wouldn't have been my favorite type of book. I think her writing is becoming more gritty and realistic which I appreciate!

I have Spectrum and they are even in Alaska, so why not call them and see if they have a way to get your internet to you. It is reliable 99 percent of the time.

It is something they try to work on, but not much progress seems to be made. A lot happens with the native women and girls, and in the villages. But a lot happens all over the state, too. Someday, I hope they get a handle on it!<br /><br />It is gray and over cast, but not raining at the time. Still hoping for warmth and sun to mature veggies and fruits, and let the tomatoes all ripen.<br /><br />Donna<br />Kasilof, AKDonna Endresenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09161370395006714301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-45281092598299715462021-09-10T17:11:18.362-04:002021-09-10T17:11:18.362-04:00Don't give up on the book.
