Fairbanks, Anchorage and now In Barrow, AK just today.

I flew from Fairbanks, to Anchorage and was let onto a 8:30 AM full plane just before it left.  I got to Barrow about 11:30 and was immediately in meetings.

I was awaken at 4 AM at the airport and went informed the agent of what was going on and people needing to get to Barrow.  They put me on the Anchorage plane within minutes.  I was the only one, others went to hotels so they slept in and missed the 6 AM plane to Anchorage.

Saw a wolf running on the runway in Fairbanks yesterday.

2. In New York City and Boston schools districts, black girls are suspended and expelled at much higher rates than white girls.
3. Black women were locked up in state and federal prisons at more than twice the rate of white women.
