Typical Monday: begin with easy task, seemingly complete task, realize there is another parameter I forgot, spend several hours trying to fulfill additional parameter, fail, fail again, take a walk, devise new method for completing original task, punt to tomorrow, and then work on something else with t-minus one hour before the work day ends.

…back on track now 😌 had to do an offline install to sort it out, that’s never happened to me before! #TypicalMonday

The Alaska Air National Guard this week traveled nearly 660 miles to rescue a pregnant woman on a small island 2 miles from Russia, reflecting the challenges patients face in the nation’s largest state where the most remote areas have no roads and hospitals can be hundreds of miles away.

There was no air strip for a fixed-wing aircraft, so the crews flew a twin-engine combat search and rescue helicopter from the Anchorage area to the island in the Bering Strait. A long-range search and rescue aircraft guided the helicopter through mountain passes and refueled it in the air several times during the 5-hour flight.
These types of extreme rescues by both the guard and other agencies are common in a state that is almost 2 1/2 times the size of Texas and has more shoreline than the Lower 48 states combined. The Alaska Air National Guard has conducted 14 such rescues already this year, the agency said...The woman was then flown to Nome and was doing fine, she said.
