This begs the question, why didn't the proud owner of this presumably real truck use an apostrophe in "trucks"? BTW, this means my VW Golf TDI is a real car. I was worried, but no more.

This young cow came into my front yard to graze on the birch tree, then ambled across the street for some more as seen here. This is not so uncommon a sight in Anchorage. Later in the year we'll see cows with a calf or two fattening up for their first winter, if they survive the traffic.

And yes, I've emailed the photographer/producer about the caption. It's obviously not a King Air. Or, at least I think it's obvious.

The skies are indeed deadly. That's why they portray us as the daring-do hero aviators that we, I humbly submit, are. (...not, thank goodness, or the skies really would be "deadly" instead of just hazardous)
