First Half Underway

So Teri leaves for LA in a few hours.  As you might expect, the weather is perfect.  Not perfect good but a perfect example of an Alaskan storm.


Here is the picture of the perfect comma cloud; two hours before we leave for the airport.

We actually have had a relatively good summer, weather wise.  This is probably the biggest storm we have had.  Been pouring for over 24hrs.  Teri is really looking forward to the roller coaster ride up to Anchorage.


Well, soon she will be baking in an LA August.  Better her than me.

More later.
