HELLO, ALASKA Alaska was admitted to the union 52 years ago today. Shown here is Florence Crawford of the CRAWFORD’S MUSEUM in Breezewood, Pennsylvania. She’s in Alaska in this photo and just killed a DAHL SHEEP, presumably to get taxidermied and hung as another trophy in the museum. It appears that she already severed the head or else this sheep has a tiny body. It looks like it’s no longer a museum—only a GIFT SHOP. Sorry Alaska. This is the only postcard I have of you right now. Allusions to Sarah Palin may be submitted as an answer below.

MATANUSKA CABBAGEAlaska Apparently, Texas isn’t the only state that grows everything big. Verso: “This fantastic head of cabbage weighs 40 pounds about 30 days after planting. The midnight sun provides about 64 days of nearly continuous sunshine each year.” ADDENDUM (8/13/10 12:45 AM): I completely missed the opportunity to make a dumb joke about double-headed cabbages.
