This student is making gloves to wear on a snowmobile going 100 mph in minus 20 degrees weather. One student wanted to sell us some sea otter for $200. I am not sure if the ones in the picture are cow or seal. The students were sewing both.
These students are learning to make a net to catch salmon in their Yupik class. I have read that these students may not be permitted to catch king salmon this year. The salmon get caught in the net and are hauled into the boat. 
Got Ya! These are the oak tree branches downed in my front yard in Arkansas. Some residents were out of electricity for over 3 weeks. We didn't get much sleet here, only 6' of snow (well, maybe not 6', okay 5')
Snow is slowly giving way to mud. Remember the big pile of snow with kids on it. It was much higher than the school pickup.
Doggy dilemma: no trees, no fire hydrants, no person on the end of the leash, no rabbits. only limitless space. We leave for Arkansas in nine days. We are going back next year. I don't know if Sharky wants to or not. He probably won't be asked.
