User talk:Orcalover

hello again - This is a writer from the North. I live surrounded by the Tongass Forest and the waters of the Inside Passage in Alaska, USA.

The summer, with its long hours of sunlight, distracted me from scholarly pursuits, such as Wikipedia.

Back now, as the fall rains set in.

Worked up details about Pacific salmon and posted that article. Am planning an article on Fran Ulmer, who is making a serious campaign in the gubernatorial election this fall.
