Friday Funny 01-15/2021 (Bernie Takes a Tour of Alaska)

This infographic showed up in my Facebook feed this week, it can be found in it's entirety, with explanations at Visual Capitalist. Did you notice that Alaska is rated as it's own land mass, at number 21st largest. It's always funny when folks ask about the weather here, to compare, it's like asking about Florida weather, when you want to know about Minnesota weather.

Okay, with all of the Berne memes out there, I thought I would share some of my favorite Alaskan ones.

Our friend James, and his cafe in Wrangell.

Bernie is in Sitka.

Bernie is on Douglas Island, across from Juneau.

Bernie likes to ice fish, he may actually do this in his home state. Who knows?

"Flying Wild Alaska" was a program on the Discovery Channel, it was pretty good, except that the narration in the background made every event an emergency.

Breakaway Adventures is a boat charter company in Wrangell 

Bernie is in Fairbanks at the University of Alaska. Yes, this is a thing, when the weather turns cold, get your bathing suit on, and get your photo taken with the temperature sign.

Bernie is in an outhouse on the tundra.

Bob Ross actually lived in Alaska for awhile.

Bernie is at the "Into the Wild" bus where that idiot Chris McCandless died. Thank goodness the state has removed the bus after several people died trying to go see it, and countless others had to be rescued, at state expense. That's what I've always said, move it to town, and charge gullible people to see it. Easy money. (Hey Donna, tell us what you really think.)

Not a safe place to sit Bernie. We've had the awesome adventure of standing on that boardwalk and platform. The Falls, in Katmai National Park.

Bernie is in the chairlift at Alyeska Ski Resort. I used to ski there when I was a teenager, it was a gorgeous place to ski, not that I ever noticed that while I was skiing.

At the Top of The World, Utqiagvik, formerly known as Barrow.

This is the "igloo", a shell of a building, located on the Parks Highway between Anchorage, and Fairbanks. It was going to be a hotel, and for financial reasons had to be abandoned. It's now a landmark.

Bernie gets a ride in a dogsled, hold on tight, those dogs really move!

Enjoying the rest, Bernie perches outside Ray Troll's art store in Ketchikan.

Santa Claus House in North Pole Alaska.

Bernie is enjoying the ambiance at Chilkoot's, a bar in Anchorage, known for sawdust, and peanut shells on the floor, as well as the, occasional rough crowd.

 

A scenic place to sit while enjoying the Fireweed.

Had enough? Okay one more, not Alaskan, but funny. 😁

As always, we enjoy hearing from you, either here in comments or on our Facebook Denali Rose Sailboat page.
