8:32am Kenai, AK
It's overcast this morning but the mountains are glowing in the distance. Remnants of sunrise sitting on the horizon.
I am super sleepy. I finally took the time to clean my room last night...there are these little pebbles that stick to the bottoms of my shoes and get tracked into my room...it makes me crazy. As i was sweeping i saw a cop car speed into camp. Sometimes they do their routine checks but this didn't look like that. Not my business and i had pebbles to sweep so i kept doing what i was doing. After my room was up to snuff i walked over to the transportation trailer where all of the bedding and stuff is to get a chair for my room...to give Molly a place to sit when she comes to visit. That's where i ran into Bobbie watching one of the kids get loaded into the cop car in handcuffs. He is Dales best friends son. Apparently he and some of the other workers were calling 911 and hanging up. Over the past two weeks they have done this 12 times. They are calling it terroristic threats and it is a misdemeanor. They were saying that they take this stuff more seriously up here because there are so few cops and state troopers compared to the areas they cover so it's worse when they get pulled away from a real emergency.
This is the point where Bobbie, sippy cup in hand, looks at me and invites me in for a drink. I was a pint low so i followed her inside. My goal had been to get to bed early and i realized the chances of that happening were slim - they had cold beer and a couch. After a few beers and a few hours i finally made it back to my room with my new chair...and feather bed :)...i found it while i was cleaning a few weeks back and since no one had taken it...i decided to give it a home. It was a selfless gesture really. Molly came and sat in her courtesy chair for a bit before going to bed. I got 5hrs of sleep. I think i am going to nap for lunch.
