Not much exceptional to report. The slough looks more like a lake than a river. There is a respectable ice dam downstream, and the water is pretty high. It hasn't flooded exactly, although it kind of is flooding in the low-lying areas. Problem is that most areas around here are low-lying. There is a regular trek down to the river to check it out. There are folks down by the airport or elsewhere around town rubber-necking at the jam-up. I took my 7th and 8th grade out today. Yet another experience in herding cats. I figure it is good practice for me and for them. I need to learn the patience and technique, and they need to learn responsibility.
Chelsea is off at maqiq. The choice was grading and filing or steaming with the girls, two of whom happen to be on the advisory school board. Community support is a good thing to have. It sounds as if it may have had something to do with her being named Staff Person of The Year for our site. Nice.
It's late-we seem to be getting into the Yup'ik habit of staying up, especially with the light so long-lived every day. I need to do some dishes and get some sleep. Five days left here in Napas for right now. A few things to be done and people to visit before we leave...
