GW: So here’s the latest bit of evidence as to why the United States Postal Service is failing. Here’s how it handled a flat rate box priority 3 day shipping. And, this comes after another package, another time, was shipped to Australia instead of Arizona. I got my hands on it some 30 days later. And, with a perfectly legible label and no customs papers. Oh, and no explanation.
And, quick! What longstanding business closes at odd hours for lunch? Yep, there’s no mystery here despite all the taxpayer subsidies and TV commercials. It’s a prime example of how government functions without the threat of competition.

JUNEAU, Alaska — A Coast Guard Air Station Sitka MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew medevaced a 57-year-old hunter after he was mauled by a bear while hunting on Admiralty Island near Juneau Friday.
The aircrew hoisted the hunter and transferred him to local emergency medical services personnel in Juneau.
Coast Guard Sector Juneau command center watchstanders were notified at 11:27 p.m. Thursday by a crewmember from the vessel Sultana that a bear had mauled a member of their hunting party. The hunter was reported to have multiple puncture wounds. Watchstanders launched the Jayhawk aircrew to the scene.
“This rescue is a reminder of the importance of being prepared in the event of an emergency,” said Petty Officer 1st Class Georgette Lopez, Sector Juneau watchstander. “This includes ensuring that everyone who ventures into the Alaska wilderness has a reliable means of communication should the need to call for help arise.”
The weather on scene at the time of the medevac was reported as 3-mph winds and approximately eight nautical miles of visibility.
BHA members support conserving America’s most remote and valuable fish and wildlife habitat
MISSOULA, Mont. – As hunters head into America’s wilderness in search of game and lawmakers struggle through the final weeks of the 114th Congress, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers is criticizing a Senate bill that would open federally designated wilderness areas to mountain biking.
S.B. 3205, the Human-Powered Travel in Wilderness Areas Act, would open the door to bicycles in all wilderness areas in the United States. Under the 1964 Wilderness Act, bikes and other forms of “mechanical transport” are explicitly banned in wilderness areas, which are set aside to preserve their pristine waters, fish and wildlife habitat and opportunities for solitude. Today, hunters on foot and with traditional pack stock treasure wilderness areas for those same values. Read more
