I really love Alaska except for Winter.

In October it starts to get cold and the daylight is decreasing quickly.

November it is too cold and dark to fly jets. Gets to around 4 hours of sunlight about Christmas.

It stays too cold until mid March usually.

So now we've increased to over 13 hours of sunlight and the temperature is above freezing and I'm ready to get one of my jets going but...

A STUPID VOLCANO ERUPTS AND SPEWS ABRASIVE ASH ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!!

Anchorage International is closed off & on at times and flights are being canceled whenever the ash blows near Anchorage.

My flight to California Jets is scheduled for mid week and I'm fretting over whether or not it'll be canceled.

Other than that I'm fine...thanks for asking!
