But one evening as Tammy and I were rounding a bend in the road, there happened to be some road kill. Unfortunately, there was also a bald eagle having a snack. I did not have time to brake and could not swerve (you know, mountain and cliff deal). I instantly thought, 'I am going to jail for killing a Bald Eagle.\" Well turns out, they are swift. That bird leapt in the air, flapped twice and flew over the hood of our car for several hundred feet. It was HUGE - a wing span wider than the car, body longer than the car hood. My heart was racing and all Tammy could say was 'WOW! Did you see that! It has really big feet!\" That was NOT my first thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, what is your Bald Eagle story?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a stretch bracelet to fit most wrists. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Premier Hand-Crafted Bracelets\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways best quality natural materials and craftsmanship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways a Lifetime Guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways designed and crafted in the United States of America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways made by residents of the Great State of Alaska\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom designs are always available - just message or call us!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Great Land Bracelets by BTJ Living LLC","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":44402416091300,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown","offer_id":44402416124068,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":44402416156836,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/9390\/8051\/files\/BirdsofAlaska-BaldEagle2_1_.5.1.jpg?v=1683857061"},{"product_id":"alaskan-summer-solstice-bracelet","title":"Alaskan Summer Solstice Bracelet","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Bracelet with a Story to Tell™\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlaskan Summer Solstice Bracelet Inspiration: Alaskans love summer solstice.  We have daylight 24 hours a day in the north, and farther down south our light dims to twilight for a couple of hours before the sun pops back up above the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAlaskans celebrate with festivals, parties, the infamous Midnight Baseball Game in Fairbanks, and even the Slam’n Salm’n Derby at Ship Creek in Anchorage.  There’s something for everyone!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWhy does Alaska get so much daylight in summer?  It’s pretty simple.  Near June 21 the north pole is tilted 23.5 degrees toward the sun.  Because Alaska is very near the earth’s northernmost axis, we are blessed with lots and lots of daylight in summertime.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAlaska is the place to be in the summertime.  It’s when the whole state is awake 24\/7 to soak all that daylight up!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" height=\"152\" width=\"203\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/9390\/8051\/files\/SummerSolsticesunshine1_d8749228-a8b5-4ebe-900c-d5dc6d719e8b_480x480.jpg?v=1687312134\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAbout Alaskan Summer Solstice Bracelet: Our Alaskan Summer Solstice bracelet is made of orange recycled glass representing the sunshine with brass bead spacers to represent the sun’s rays.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a stretch bracelet to fit most wrists or ankles.
