Film Festivals 2021
It’s the last week of January and the official start of this year's film festival season. Normally filmmakers and movie buffs would be looking forward to spending time mingling and watching on the ground in Utah for the Sundance Film Festival, but the pandemic that brought us a mostly canceled festival season of 2020, still isn’t in control enough for any festival to be held in person right now. If we are lucky, we may see those festivals return to normal at the end of this year, but more likely 2022 is when we can enjoy film festivals in person again.

Alaska Bound
Tips for travelers on what to expect when visiting "The Final Frontier". Alaska is a travel dream for most, one filled with gorgeous mountain views and wildlife. Much of the state relies on summer tourism, which is in jeopardy this year with the pandemic but one hopes that next summer will have visitors from all over the world once again flying to visit the last frontier.

Military Reckoning
Right now, all over the news and social media is the horrific story of Vanessa Guillen and her tragic murder. The Army investigators say they have found no evidence of her being sexually harassed but her family thinks otherwise and I'm inclined to agree with them.Her death is one of many casualties of the United States military and its toxic culture issues. The military has long had a problem with sexual harassment/assault within its ranks and a reporting/ justice system that often harms the victims further. A large group of women veterans/servicewomen wrote a letter outlining demands to improve the failures of the service, titled “Women Vets & Servicewomen Demand #JusticeforVanessaGuillen - 4 July 2020”. I encourage you to give it a read, so many women risked putting their names out there and standing up for justice, that you can at least spend a moment to view it.
