guaranteed catch

Motivation can be elusive when you spend the afternoon sitting in a faux leather recliner, reading a book, sipping an Alaskan amber beer and munching on crispy cheetos, listening to traffic through a window open to a rainy 60° day.

We did complete our art survey today. My favorite works are a drummer of mixed traditional and contemporary design, made of whale bone, offered at the hospital gift shop in Anchorage, and a simple wood mask at a trade shop in Fairbanks.

I painted this morning. A watercolor of the Alaska RR yard at Healy, AK, done from a pencil sketch.

Motivated for dinner around seven. Headed to the taproot for a kick ass burger. Only trouble was the show was sold out, so we went downtown for seafood at the Bridge restaurant, located conveniently over Ship creek. The sun came out, and we watched the fishermen wading and casting into the stream, trying to piss off the salmon enough to take their lures. I believe I would prefer the fish trap method.  The tide came in so the fishermen moved upstream.
