Carpe Diem means Fish of the day

Image
If people concentrated on the really important things they'd be a shortage of fishing poles. Carpet Diem means fish of the day around here. Pinks and Silver-Ko ho salmon. There's a fine line between fishing and just standing o n a bridge looking like an idiot unless you are in Alaska.  Fishing is actually  boring, unless you catch an actual fish, and then it is disgusting

Tongas Rainforest-The Weather-Grin and Bear

Image
 Great Black Bear is walking with us, Pink Salmon swimming upstream with us, as we stroll Creek street...    My mind is like compost.     "What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away."  I pledge allegiance to the soil of Ketchikan Island, one ecosystem in diversity under the sun With joyful interpenetration for all. ... Raindrops keep falling on my head ... I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin' Because I'm free Nothing's worrying me.. The Etiquette of Freedom  In Alaska, there are those who love to get dirty and fix things. They drink coffee at dawn, beer after work. And those who stay clean, just appreciate things. At breakfast they have milk and juice at night. There are those who do both, like me, I drink hot chocolate.   Learning about the bears and the bees  and the flowers and the trees is not just community college  science or nature boy social studies — it's local etiquette. It's rude not ...

DHG When in Nome Do As The Nomans Do

Image
I knew there would be days like this,  I just wish someone would have told me how many! Dutch Harbor Gear DHG rough and ready. No such thing as good weather here only good clothing! I find myself in the perpetual company of people who love the rain and love to laugh about it. This may be my definition of true happiness.It's the locals,some emos, who just get wet,others, poets, who go dancing in the rain, hoping to be struck by lightning. The song remains the same in this infinite playlist called the rainforest. Charlie Chaplin liked to walk in the rain because nobody could see his tears. I don't cry, like the Little Tramp because it's over. I smile, like the Big Kahuna because it happened. The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes . Marcel Proust To be away from home and yet to feel at home anywhere. How I do  time, is how I create and re-create myself.  On a ship,  one lives in the grand manner of writer...

Alaska-Ketch-ikan and Release

Image
Fishing is for people who don't know how to golf. Yet, Catch and Release   fishing is a lot like golf. You don't have to eat the ball to have a good time. I'm hooked on Alaska.  Saw momma bear and baby bear, a bald eagle and ravens. And the Salmon are swimming up stream to lay their eggs. When you feel neglected, think of the female salmon, who lays 3000000 eggs but no one remembers her on Mother's Day Yoga Bear We all know what low male on the totem pole means but have you ever heard about  low female salmon on the totem pole?

Ak-Sushi-Eat All You Wish

Looking For Alaska Teach a man to fish. You feed him for a day. Show up in Alaska and you don't have to teach him anything. This place is definitely awesome...and there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.   I'm taking Cruise ships off the endangered list-They are everywhere in Ketchikan

Ketchikan-Let It Rain-Path of Moist Resistance

Image
The fish are jumping out of the water. This place is a rainforest.The wetter, the better.It's what makes this place so breathtakingly beautiful. H2oh! Gotta walk between the drop with all this liquid sunshine. It is one of the most moist places in all of North America. The wilderness is therapy. Herman Melville said of the sea "God's only voice is silence", and let me add that healing rain is really a touch from God too. I have all the confidence of a guy selling snowballs to the Eskimos.
