ABM - Its pretty soggy down here, too! They cancelled the Juneau fireworks for 24 hours because it was too sloppy to get the barge into position out in the Channel in front of town and too wet to get the stuff set up properly. It cleared up a little this evening, but it still isn' t very nice.

Hope you got in the right position and tip-toed up on some of the right kind of animals this evening. ' Course you' re handcapped out there with " just sticks and strings" , but I figure a few will walk right up to you one of these times! I have heard of the legendary clouds of insects on the Slope - how do you put up with them? Can you keep them at bay with the right kind of big dope? Good luck!
