South Wind

Here are a few pictures from our storm last week.  Take a look at the video and look for the power line, it looks like wave.   We had 70mph winds...and Mooney and I still got out to walk.

Brevig Mission School

Here are a few pictures of the school and my classroom.  Notice how thick the walls are...insulation from the cold....which was -20degF at the taking of the picture.  Last Monday we had a high of -25degF...today it was 33degF.  Think of the difference from 30degF to 75degF...it makes a HUGE difference when it is that cold out too.

It's been a while

Here are a few pictures that were on my camera.

Dog Kennel

I needed a spot to keep Mooney during the day and I feel bad keeping her tied up.  I found a few pieces of wire fencing and some wood.  I enclosed the first few feet in front of my apartment.  It works well.  She can even have friends over.

Nome-Teller Road

The same road that I biked to Nome I drove last weekend.  The school had a food order to pick up so we loaded up 4 full size trucks and a trailer and hauled all the freight back to Teller, then made a half dozen boat trips to Brevig.

Field Trip

We took a field trip this week to Shellman Creek (a small creek 2 miles North of town) to collect rocks for science class.  Here are the pictures.  Ask me for the details about the trip.  The water pipe you see is left over from an old gold mine on Sunset Creek.

Mouse

Mooney's new thing is to catch mice and bring them to me...dead or alive.  The colder it gets... the slower the mice move.... the more she catches.
