Sorry . . .

My posts have been quick and dirty lately, and I've even missed some nights . . . truth is I'm trying to kick a cold before it turns into something more nasty. It's hard to kick anything when you work long hours seven days a week but I've had pneumonia a few times in my life, and the flu strains out here are horrible - a few people died here last year from the flu - so I'm doing all I can to get better. I've been missing dog walks and getting to sleep early and just trying to get through the day at work - I think I might be turning the corner and starting to feel a bit better. Goldfish has been truly golden in taking care of things this week when I've been less than 100% . . . . she had a day off today and took down the Christmas tree, it leaves a huge hole in the living room but we still have all the other lights up and the Rudolph Christmas village and the Nativity set my Mom made.

The picture is taken from about halfway up Haystack Hill. On the left you can see the road towards Dutch running along the base of Bunker Hill. In the middle is the Small Boat Harbor and Harbor Crown processing where a few of the Deadliest Catch boats deliver. Harbor Crown always seems to post the best price but only offer bare bones support for the boats that deliver there. Off camera towards the left is the bridge and then Captain's Bay.
