Sue:

We're back at work and cleaning our tookises (tooki?) off. Skagway is a dust magnet on a good day - multiply that by 6 months and you get a very clogged Dyson. Here's Phil hard at work:

I call that one "Phil Under Glass."

Once we're all done dusting and vacuuming, we get to check in all the new merchandise and put it where it belongs. Oh, the joy of it!

But it's good to be back in the Skag. I think this year, since you've seen tons of pictures of Skagway over the past two years, I'm going to focus on the local perspective. With that in mind, I took this picture on my way to work this morning:

I'm not sure why it's up there, and I'm certainly not sure how it got up there, but that's Skagway for ya.

We're also getting a new brewery this year, supposedly. We like the old one, but this new one, if that's what it really is, is sooooo much closer to where we live. It would be cool to have something so close so we can stop by after work, knock a few back and stagger home. Nice.

Sorry it's not a good view. I took the picture from the car.

Skagway this year has more snow piled up than we've ever seen. We were told it was quite a rough winter, snowwise. The creek behind our RV is all blocked up with ice, all the way into town. It's weird. And I'm not sure if the snow did it, but when we got here, a couple of signposts for our RV park had fallen down and we're blocking the entranceway. Our wonderful maintenance guys got it all cleaned up, but here's what our beautiful Group Home sign looks like now:

Not much else to report on right now. We haven't even made it down to the docks yet to see who's swimming around. We'll do that soon.
