Greg -

Back to rain today - we can't even see the strait from our site.   I was told yesterday that June was the coldest on record for Alaska.   No wonder we ran the heat most evenings and every morning.

I managed to get all of the fish packed last night.  I washed out the cooler and dumped it far from our site.   I felt like I was chumming for bears and it will be interesting to see if we get more traffic over the next few days. 

Potluck tonight.   The ranger program tonight will feature a representative of the music wood industry.   The mill near our site processes logs for a company that uses the wood in the manufacture of musical instruments.  I'll have more on this later.

  1. I read today that June here was the 5th -- I can't remember if it was hottest or dryest -- on record. Now I'll have to look that up!

    Been meeting myself coming and going -- my appointments, helping Grace get ready for the move to Edwardsville, and trying to help my folks. Not enough time for keeping up with the things I'm interested in on the computer. :(

    By the way, your dad and I are both getting reading glasses -- in your dad's case, the real deal rather than the $1 kind from Wolf's flea market (or the $14.99 kind I buy at Walgreen's) -- and mine are one of three pairs I ordered -- readers, everyday glasses and sunglasses. My prescription changed. :( Kaching, kaching, kaching!

    Your dad got frames similar to some you have/had -- they're lightweight metal that you can nearly tie in knots without breaking them. I asked whether they have anything that withstand being run over by a tractor. Can you believe they don't make any like that?

    Love!
