The Sun, Not The Temperature, Says Summer Is Near

The sun was hovering along the horizon angling north and down about 9:30 pm last Saturday.






But the temperatures are cooler than normal and Thursday people were waiting in the cold - and by then grey weather - to get a shuttle bus to tour the USS Anchorage.  The line went up one lane of the parking lot, down another and wound around a few more times near where the bus was supposed to pick people up.  It would have been interesting to see the ship close up, but when they estimated three hours to get on the bus, we left.  We had other things to do.
