Surprise, surprise - it's raining again in Ketchikan. I think this is the last place I could live in Alaska. In one month, Ketchikan gets the same amount of rain Seattle gets in a year. Moss grows on house roofs; it's that damp. They don't get real cold weather though. Their temperature varies mainly between 20 and 60 degrees. Our totem tour was provided by Independent Tours. They should call it Laid Back Tours. The driver arrived over 15 minutes late. She was at the dock talking to friends. She was fun and chatty, but not real "professional" so, of course, we enjoyed it. And we got 3 hours of tour instead of 2 because we kept her talking. A trainee and us were the only ones on the tour.

Comments from Eldon: Today I met a totem carver named Woody. It seems appropriate to me! Guess I don't have much else to say.........except stop with the rain already.

Comments from Larry: Stop with the rain already. Jeez.............
