: A Public Defender's Life in Alaska

So, Ketchikan! The last two days have been very beautiful here with bright blue skies. Quite the contrast to the way it looked when I first arrived (to the left). I am enjoying the town and am enjoying the work here...I have only been here a few days but it does seem less stressful than being a Public Defender in Kenai. Being here makes me want a (working) boat. Unlike the death trap that is called Cook Inlet, this place is surrounded by protected water. You could spend a lifetime exploring the coves and bays around here. Not to mention there is world class salmon and halibut fishing. There is also great fishing in Kenai but here there are crabs and shrimps too. No moose are around but there are plenty of deer and black bear to hunt. Yup, suffice to say, I like Ketchikan a whole lot. One day, I'll definitely bring the family down here..I really should have done it this trip.
