In the south it’s a pick-up. In Alaska…

… it’s a pick-up. And a plane. And an SUV. And a boat, too. What, no totem pole?

Jason wanted to show me his favorite front yard in all of Alaska and took me past it last night (night used loosely and only to convey PM and not positioning of sun). It happens to be in his neighborhood and on the way to a softball game he was playing in. Is there anything more to say?

Jason is a good softball player. He slid into first base to tag someone out. Had a skinned knee to prove it. Notice the blue sky. Yeah, that’s me. (Note to self about temperature: less sweltering, more mild with a dash of warm.) Jason warns me about the arrogance of the Greek gods. (Double note to self: be humble.)We are leaving now for a weekend at a friend’s cabin. We will drive two hours to Willow, then take a sea plane and then get to the cabin. No running water. No electrical outlets. Back on Monday night. : )
