Homer Alaska - Announcements

Pet of the Week
After an early life going wandering around as a stray in one of the Old Believer Russian villages, Lucia has paid her dues. Now warm at her temporary home at the Animal Shelter, this gentle, loving tabby seeks her very own home with a view, peace and quiet, and a special person or two to call her own.

Homer's Best Bets
As the Betster writes this a big sloppy wet gale blows out of the south, so it's unknown if on Thursday your friendly local marmot will see its shadow. Like it matters. Does anyone doubt that we're in for six more weeks of winter — especially this winter?
