The next “coffee date” will be at Belles Nursery on Specking Road in South Anchorage on June 10th at 10:30. Directions are on the internet or e-mail Cheryl at alaskamaddog@hotmail.com.
The second “date” to better accommodate those in the Valley and Anchorage will be at Jitters in Eagle River on June 20th at 10:30.

The tide table report that one of the stronger Bore Tides of 2008 will occur on Thursday, June 5th at 17:22 for Beluga Point and 18:22 for Bird Point.
Mark and Brenda Rogers chased one down the Seward Highway last month. “It was probably about two feet tall at best and completely fizzled out as it rounded the bend at Bird Point,” according to Brenda. “Maybe this one will put on a better show.” She recommends a good zoom lens.
Brenda further indicated, “A fellow “chaser” told us the bore surfers (if they show up) usually get in on the south side of Bird Point where the main channel comes close to the road.”
Surfing in Alaska… “Cool” literally and figuratively!

This is an idea from Kevin and Cheryl Nance and Wayne Jackson about keeping all the UPS/IPA families in touch while up here in Anchorage. This is going to be a work in progress and for now we would like any and all ideas submitted. Hopefully it will be an effective communication tool eventually replacing the massive email list we were using.
The concept is simple: register your name (your real name!) with an email address, and you will be able to post to the blog. You will also be able to post comments to the blog posts from others. For example, if you need a babysitter, post it to the blog, and hopefully someone will be able to recommend one. We will be able to announce the coffee meeting on here much easier than the email list too!
I guess I will be the de facto editor for now, but eventually maybe we can rotate editing duties. Also, hopefully this will become a web page that is set to your home page, or at least one that you check everyday for updates.
