Today we went to the town flea/farmers market and while it was nice, it didn't have anything for me. We visited a national park visitor center, had coffee and snacks in a railroad car, and went to the Soldotna History Museum. The lady that was our guide knew the history so well, because she lived it. She came here in 1948 as a young child with her parents who were "homesteaders." This was our "cultural day."

Why do those two ducks look like they are sitting on clouds in the sky?

They are sitting on the Kenai River that is rough and moving rather fast and their little feet are going 90 mph to stay in place. The problem is my photography skills.

An absolutely fantastic" Rat Rod". The work on this was just so meticulous and well done, and the sound of it starting and ticking over was just like a cat "purring", till the throttle was given full bore. Just "Magic". Hope the pics come out okay.

Scott, I am so impressed with the constructive activities you come up with for these kids. Nothing boring. Always something to engage and entertain them. They'll remember it for their entire lives. "Remember when........................?"
Keep up the good work my brother by another mother. If we only had more like you.

Here is a photo of a typical " Aussie battler/bushie". Was talking to him at a tractor pull on Sunday, lovely old bloke. Doing it hard at the moment, but did not hesitate to bring his tractor in for the local event to raise money for the community. Was even bidding up to $350 for a truck load of fire wood to help raise money. People like this restore your faith in human nature.

This was lunch in a Russian mountain village, population 318. Nina served Russian borscht soup, sauerkraut, bread, tea w/cinnamon and a raspberry desert. I started looking for a Whataburger after we left!

They had just finished packing out the meat, their set for the winter.
If you go to my Facebook page there is a video of that eagle as he sat there and then flew off over the Kenai River to the other side.
