Winter is starting to set in around Alaska, so it's time to remember: BARFF! 😲 Sounds funny, but it's a fact: Bridges and Ramps Freeze First. Bridge decks, ramps and overpasses ice up early, even when the rest of the road is in good condition. ❄️
As we ease back into winter driving, pass the message around: ! 😆

*****PSA*****
Proper Display of Disability Parking Placard
If you are using an Alaska disability parking placard:

• Hang the placard from your rearview mirror while your vehicle is parked in a designated disability parking space.

• Make sure the placard is clearly visible so it can be identified.

• Remove the placard from the rearview mirror before driving. Leaving it hanging while operating the vehicle can obstruct your view.

• Use the placard only when transporting the person to whom it was issued. Alaska allows someone transporting the placard holder to use designated disability parking when the holder enters or exits the vehicle.

• Check the expiration date and make sure the placard is current.

Please Remember: Display it when parked hanging from the review mirror. Remove it before driving. Drive safe.

Sitka’s landslide risk level increased from low to medium around 7 p.m. tonight (9-8-26). That’s according to a local dashboard that tracks rainfall data to determine landslide risk.

A “medium” risk level means isolated landslides have occurred in Sitka with similarly intense rainfall in the past.

If medium or high risk level is reached, the level is retained for six hours, meaning Sitka remains at medium risk level until 1 a.m.

Visit sitkalandslide.org/ for risk level updates and recommendations for emergency preparedness.

somebody in the county looked at a perfectly good tow truck and said, “this needs to be a giant infected monster foot.”

and somehow, they engineered the TOE TRUCK. 🦶🛻

it offers 24-hour toeing, promises to heel your problems, and claims no job is too corny.

the cracked yellow toenails are reinforced with sheet metal, the winch comes straight out of the heel, and there’s a full-size can of athlete’s foot powder mounted beside the toolbox like standard roadside equipment.

it’s green.
it’s ugly.
it may violate several laws of transportation and podiatry.

but when your car breaks down, this thing will show up, put its foot down, and get you back on the road.

just don’t ask the driver to pull your toe.

apparently that activates the horn.
