We're still reading the Anchorage Daily News, keeping track of Troopergate. And we're glad we are, because otherwise we'd have missed this news about the temporary closing of the Botanical Garden:
A bear feasting on a moose carcass along the perimeter fence of Alaska Botanical Garden Tuesday morning has prompted officials to close the facility. The garden will be closed to public use until Oct. 10 to give the bear time to finish its carcass and move along.
And this interactive map, for tracking the ranges of the bears walking around Anchorage. It's pretty cool. You just roll your mouse over the bear's number, and that bear's range is highlighted.
And there's a series of pictures of moose who've managed to get tangled in Christmas lights, chicken wire, and children's swings.
But my very favorite was this picture submitted to the paper from somebody who ran into pre-VP candidate Sarah Palin shopping at -- yup, Wal-Mart.
