Big posters of student athletes
Our school gym has been given a major overhaul. There is a new floor, new paint, and now the giant posters on the wall are of our own players. These are photos that I took last year. It is really cool to see pictures I took blown up so large. There are a few more …
Deer in downtown Petersburg
It isn’t an uncommon sight to see Sitka Blacktail Deer wandering through downtown Petersburg in the evening or early morning. A friend posted this link to a webcam showing the downtown road rebuilding. Within seconds I saw movement. It is 9:45 PM there. The movement was three deer walking through the closed street.
Dealing with crazy traffic
Tonight Carmelita invited us over for dinner at her place on the school campus. It was fantastic. We asked our normal driver to pick us up at 6:30 and we left Carmelita’s apartment about 10 minutes early. So we walked a little of the way. Then we walked further. Then we went inside the grocery …

So, over the summer they used leveling material to create a perfectly flat surface. The PVC flooring has …
An empty road
Last week we decided to walk home. Part way there the police started blocking off the roads. Police were along the mile of road on both sides no more than 100 feet apart. For almost an hour traffic was completely stopped on one of the city’s busiest streets. Jordan recognized flags on light poles as …
