During a bit of a windy spell, Alaska Airlines carried in our first two visitors, Judy & Tom. On their way from a few weeks in Nome back to Wisconsin, we hosted Andy's family for a couple of days earlier this month. Of course it was a nice, nice time showing our new digs and island life.On the agenda was a tour of the the Public Safety Academy, concluding in Trooper Gorn's office.
We spent time outside exploring, but also checked email and such at the dining room table. Oddly enough, it became a spontaneous Apple ad for the alum. Macbook. That's a lot of computer super power.
It's always nice to be among family, and this time around they really helped us out by testing and giving positive reviews for the spare shower (which I think was only used once before as a trial run by Andy)!

Spring has sprung it seems in Sitka, the "Jewel of the Pacific." Herring season is upon us with wonderful weather to boot. I don't know what to expect during this fish run, but large boats are appearing, workers are landing in town, the birds are descending upon us like crazy with sea lions and humpbacks beginning to play and feed. Why? For a $12 million herring fish run. A projected 19,400 tons of fish will make people good money. It becomes a spectator event when you can pull off the road and watch the boats work close to the island and the wildlife feast on the bounty too. A lot of this has been told to us in preparation, as we're not in full swing yet. The weather and start of activity did get us out'n about, exploring and acting borderline "tourist."
