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)
