PEOPLE! When you visit a village/town/city/metropolis....
π¨ CROSS AT CROSSWALKS! π¨
Do not dart out to jaywalk and "beat traffic" or wander into the street and pause, taking picture after picture.
π¨ AK is in the 21st century...we have cars. Cars that can hit you and absolutely ruin your vacation.
6:30AM: 48F, overcast.
After an especially gorgeous, sunny day yesterday (Yes - even this sun-grouch can appreciate a clear day now and then!) showers and clouds are back in the forecast.
Sun-lovers fear not! It's back in the picture for Saturday.
5:30AM: 38F, fair
The fact that the sky is clear hit home this morning when I woke up at 4:30AM to lots & lots of light....and my brain said, "It's time to get up!!"
Here's my annual grumpy grouse about the sunlit summer in the far North.
It sucks for sleep.
I said what I said.
6:00AM: 44F, clouds are breaking up a bit.
Showers today, clouds this week, rain/showers mid-week on.
In short, a Sitka spring...at least these days.

We had a lovely November day yesterday and it looks like another November morn right now.
We sat in the rain and wind yesterday, freezing our asses off, selling baked goods and coffee, but it was worth it. π
John swears up & down we had a cold, wet, late spring last year also, that "we were robbed of May." I vaguely remember something like that, but if nothing else, I've learned NOT to trust my weather memory! lol

It rained off & on last night and will rain off and on today.
At 9:00AM is the 33rd annual SE Alaska Women in Fisheries' (of which I am President) annual Fishermen's Flea Market. SEAWIF will sell baked goods and coffee while fisher men and women bring out their gear to buy/sell/trade.
But mainly is a fisher person BS session. The biggest of the year.
Same size as that fish that got away. π
