Tuesday could have been a better day for the Republican Party if you'll allow me to land one last blow on that dead horse. Nothing about the November 4th, 2025, elections was particularly surprising; disappointing, yes, but surprising? No. Oh, here in the Great Land, we did OK; we had three items on the ballot, a proposed borough 7 cents/gallon gasoline tax, an election for one school board seat in our district, and another proposal to extend the property-tax reduction for disabled veterans to pro-rate it for veterans who have just moved to Alaska instead of making them wait a full year before being eligible. We (my wife and I) voted on the winning side of all three.

Still, compared against two state governor's elections, a mayoral election in the nation's largest city, and a major gerrymandering proposal in California, one might think our Susitna Valley issues are small stuff, but all politics are local politics, in the end.

Thanks in large part to Alaska being four hours behind the East Coast, I went to bed last night knowing the outcomes in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia, and while I wasn't surprised, I wasn't best pleased, either. And it was all on my mind still, this morning, when I left the house in the still-dark of night to walk over to the office. And then I saw this:



And, wow. Suddenly, perspective. The bright, shining full moon, with those beautiful wisps of mare's tails framing it.

I stood there for a few minutes, in the 15-degree chill. And, as is so often the case, that bit of Alaska's ever-changing beauty got my mind working. Yes, we lost a few elections.
