: A Public Defender's Life in Alaska

So, I can't even begin to describe how nice it has been this weekend. With weather in the 60's and 70's we had a nicer weekend than all of last summer combined. You really can't appreciate a Spring day until you have waited 20 months for it. Simply amazing. For the most part I stayed home and did things around the house. However, today Jesse and I took his skiff out to Tustumena Lake to work out the kinks. A few minor issues like flat tires and broken tail lights and the lake is still frozen a few hundred yards past the entrance to the Kasilof (you can see the line of ice behind me) but still a great trip. We treated it like a test run, as it was the first real run of the year. My boat is, as usual, in the shop. I love that lake. We landed to make a fire and have some food and our only real company was this fellow, wherever he was. I kept my gun on me in case he decided that the smell of cooking sausages was worth exploring. I can only hope this weather lasts a bit longer. We are all a little sunburned and I lost a few plants that could not handle the heat, but it is worth it. Quite simply, a really, really good weekend here in the Great Land.
