Expensive gas in Bethel:
My first tank of gas cost $51.95! Sticker shock but luckily a tank of gas can last three weeks.
Smores can’t go outside alone due to loose dogs and foxes so I’m training her to wear a harness so I can keep tabs on her. She doesn’t look too happy about it, does she? She has her ears back which is how she tells me she does not like the things I am putting her through.
It’s the beginning of week 6. Class schedules have been settled and school is beginning to be routine. I am enjoying Yupik class at the high school and seeing how clothing and household items are made using traditional methods. In this picture the teacher shows how to use a hatchet to begin carving a bowl. Once the rough cuts are made then hand made carving knives are used. The knives are sitting in a hand made bowl.
