Our blog would not be complete without decaying animal parts. Mr. Barenjager went woodland hunting a couple days ago. He managed to bring home three tasty squirrels, the cutest little chunks of stir fry meat. However, during his wanderings in the wilds of the Kenai Peninsula, he came upon this bear-killed porcupine. Quills encircle the carcass, its mouth agape in its final resting yawn. If anyone knows Tyler, they know he has pilfered his fair share of decaying animal bones--a box of collected elk bones being the first thing to sell at our Bellingham garage sale before we moved. This pile of bone and porcupine flesh proved to be the foulest pile of such rotting carnage Tyler had ever found. The skull is sitting in a vat of cleaning fluid on our porch. I won't share a picture of that mess.

Yep...that looks like a 'Tyler' picture! I'm so excited you have a blog now too so I can check up on the exciting life of Seward, AK!! Right now I'm trying to upload pics on mine with little success...I'm ready to give up and head to see an American movie just to get away from the frustration. :) Love you and will talk to you soon!
Awesome picture. I saw a rat on the street yesterday with intestines and brains trailing out and thought of you two. When I try to explain how cool you guys are, I get funny looks. Fortunately, yesterday I was with a friend who teaches physics and being a scientist she was fascinated too. City carcasses seem a little dirtier than wild ones, I feel.
