I’m around… sort of. Summer in Alaska. Busy. I’ve been the last few days doing a type of subsistence fishing called set-net. It’s moderately labor intensive but worth it to teach others the “old ways”. So here are a few pics, should my view interest you.

Yes. I was born here and for a few short times in my twenties and thirties I lived elsewhere but I’m here now again. It’s truly a blessing to live here, I think.

Yeah, it is actually quite appealing with all that solitude and that tranquility.

Yes! Very much so. It’s peaceful in rural Alaska. A much slower pace of life which suits me well.

Thanks Jo. Last night on the way home, I passed the neighbor with the Basset and GSD and thought of you!

This neighbor sounds awesome. I totally approve of his choice of canis familiaris!
If he’s bald, drives a Jeep and espouses libertarianism its going to get a bit weird tho…

I do think he’s bald but he drives a black pick-up of some sort and I have no idea his political stances. I’ve never done more than wave to him as I drive or walk by. He’s only here a couple months out of the year.

The non-glorious part is when you pull in the net and it’s covered in kelp and seaweed, you have to hand-pick it out. And you have to be quick because you don’t want to miss your window of opportunity.
