A Cold Alaskan Summer
I have not been complaining. I've been smiling and going with it. Summer has been colder and more overcast and rainier than I expected, but I was not going to be complaining. This is in line with one of my new mottoes - Don't Be Wimpy! So I didn't complain and then the natives started complaining. That's when I learned that this is an abnormally cold and rainy summer. Actually we're currently the second coldest summer on record. If we don't get over 65 for another 10 days (we didn't yesterday and we won't today), we'll be the coldest summer on record. Last year there were 23 days that went over 70, this summer so far we have had 3. Lots of rain the last two weeks especially. I tried to go to a ball game (Alaskan Baseball League) but it got rained out. Sadly.
However I have been enjoying myself. This weekend I am going to "Camp" which is the camp operated by my church for Bible Camps and the like. I'm going to cook and be an extra hand in the kitchen for the Deaf retreat. I'm very excited. It's still cold and rainy, but it will nice to be out of the city and just relax.
