Whiskey Puppy @ the Brown Bear

Purple hands and wet boots.

The nights are getting chilly but we have not had any hard frosts yet. Ullr can you hear me?












I've been down to Old Girdwood a few times fishing for cohos (Oncorhynchus kisutch) but catching only pinks(O. gorbuscha).
Funny things have happened to me in the last few weeks like the yard sale/ car wash. I'll be working through the hard parts (not the end of the world)















but enjoy the best parts and one of those is meeting an amazing girl. The craziest thing is she likes me too. Ashley and I have been working the woods around Girdwood for blueberries, and other edibles like; nettles, and shrooms if we can find them. Spending the evenings tromping till our boots are soaked and hands purple (from the berries) and numb (from the nettles). I look forward to getting in the kitchen and doing some cooking and baking with our forest goodies with her. She took me to her plot in the community garden and it was one of the better gardens. We poked around thinking about how to make the kale and carrots grow better for next year and what other veggies and herbs would do well in our rainforest. Next year I’m in. I am starting to dream now about what I could grow.

Where did July go.

This Friday I will have worked 27 days in a row. Saturday I'm taking off and driving down to Soldotna to see some David Alen Coe with some folks from town. We had such a nice start to summer but the rain has hit and does not look like it will break for the next few weeks. Ha....................... This is why I like it here. Big pineapple express giving us 50-70 mph wind in the fiord and warm rain.

Swimming at Moose Flats

hot time summer in the city..courthouse rm. 501

Back in the courthouse this summer.

A subpoena for Mr. Whynotski’s testimony is attached to this message.

It's been hot and I'm not talking about witnessing arson, that was years ago. Alaska is like a sauna... hot , humid and smelling like cedar with the wild fires off of Funny River Road, Maggie now looks forward to her outside baths. The fests are over, Forest Fair was keen,











Melissa Mitchel & Whipsaws stold the show and back at the house it took us some time to kill the keg of Mooses Tooth











but we had a good hooping session. The days are still long and silvers are in Bird Creek!
