BUSH DIARY JULY 1998:
4th: Very quiet day, over cast but quite warm. No wind to speak of. Walked around town yesterday taking pictures.
7-11: Company picnic is supposed to be on Deadman's Island. It is an island past the point. They think it will be a 45 minute trip by boat. They tried this last year but the ocean got choppy and it was cancelled. I refuse to go anywhere in a small craft in the Arctic. Also, there are no toilet facilities. I shall stay home in comfort.
7-7: Traveling dream. I took a bus in Boise. Met my sister Ellen on the bus that was taking us home to Emmett. Weird.
Paper chase on Coquille house: Calling around to various mortgage companies and gathering information.
Monica says she is sending us both to National meeting in New Orleans in October. Fun.
Recap of trip to Barrow: Trip to Emmett from 7-13 through 7-22. It was HOT!!! On Anthony's birthday it got up to 108!!! Mom found an AC unit that needed to be cleaned up and after messing around it actually works, so I did not boil while staying at Mom's. Only shopping was that we dragged out to a Hallmark and I completed my Kwanza angel collection, so cute. Took Charles, Leslie and Anthony to dinner at DaVinci's, a place in Eagle. We had salad, bread sticks, chicken marsala. We also had birthday cake for Anthony's first birthday. Carla's flight from Sea-Tac was cancelled due to fog, drat.
My trip back to Barrow was uneventful until the Barrow leg. Captain tried twice to land but had to fly around, third time was the charm. Fog opened enough to allow the landing. The regular Barrow passengers laughed and clapped. The tourist passengers looked a little green around the gills.
Monica finally rose to the top of the list to get a private post office box. She had been on the list since her first time working her. Since she is in quarters, she told the them that she had mail covered thanks, please rent the box to someone else on the list.
Some excitement. We went shopping and upon returning from Pepe's and shopping we smelled gas. Called BUECI who came and they said, evacuate for a few minutes. Ok, got the kitties in their carriers and stored in a sheltered foyer. They came and inspected stuff and found that someone's igniter on their stove had blown out and that was the source of the gas. Also one of the BUECI guys was trying to get into our apartment. I opened the door for him and he said they didn't have a master key for that door, so they will be making one of those. We finally got back into the building about 10 am. Wheee. So glad nothing blew up today.
It's been summer. G'night folks.
