Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Saw this story yesterday. Went to Google maps to find Wales, AK. Next thing I know, I spent an hour looking at the Aleutian Islands and using Wikipedia to read about these villages in the middle of nowhere...old military bases used during WWII, plane crashes (with the planes still visible on Maps), and scrolling over and looking at eastern Russia.
Any polar titties??!
Ban Klondike bars?
Glad I could provide a rabbit hole for you. That area of the world is pretty interesting.
Here's another rabbit hole for you, the Alaskan boneyard. A guy doing some gold mining in Alaska bought some land, dug for gold, and instead found untold thousands of ancient bones. Mammoths, North American Lions, you name it. You could literally go out, search for an hour, and find a mammoth tusk.

Completely rewrites our understanding of history. Those animals weren't supposed to be that far North, and with so many in one place it pretty much means they were all washed there by flood waters, unless there was a mass kill which doesn't make much sense.
Polar bears are done unless we put them in zoos.
The vast majority of animals go extinct. I remember the big cat guy on the MB talking about how cheetahs have a genetic disorder that is going to end them eventually, no amount of human intervention will save them.
