My own little cabin is clouded in today. I can barely see the tops of the treeline nearby. I know there are large snowcapped mountains in my view too, but you'd never be able to tell without prior experience - the fog is too thick to even show the shadowy outlines of the mountains.
The other day, I was a few minutes late for work (unfortunately becoming more frequent due to my horrid sleep habits), but this day I had a good excuse - There was a momma and baby moose in the middle of my neighborhood road who seemed pretty contentment to just stay there, regardless of the cars. Only in Alaska are moose and bears valid excuses for tardiness. Unfortunately being exhausted is not. I have sleep issues anyways, but having picked up another job, waitressing at the bistro, is taking it toll - although it's incredibly fun, some days more fun than the aquarium - mainly due to the abundance of smiles from coworkers at the bistro - I'm tired. It is helping add to the gas fund for the trip south though. And I bought my first piece of roadtrip gear today - a hard shelled box for the top of my car! I'll pick it up at REI in Anchorage in two weeks along with a roof rack. Fun stuff! No timeline or departure date set yet, so keep checking back.
Here's a few more photos of my kids. From left to right: Rhinoceros auklets, Red-legged kittiwake, and Common murre. (All in the aviary habitat).
