Okay, so they're not really foreigners. Just tourists and those passing through, or cannery and fishing workers for the summer.
I'm sure there must have been some, but I can't recall any non-Alaska license plates during the winter months. Just in the last few days though, I've seen Washington, Idaho, and California plates. The vehicle from California was stopped at a turnout on North Nordic Ave. with who I assume to be the driver was admiring the Narrows, Frederick Sound, and the hills.
Today was supposed to have some rain, but I didn't see any at all. I was even able to get out my road bicycle for a quick trip to the Post Office. The road I took by the airport has a short stretch that is no longer paved. It contains a combination of dirt and gravel. I was imagining myself on one of the stretches of roads in Belgium, racing in the dirt and cobbles... (sort of...)
Shelley seems to be coming down with a cold. So she is skipping her swimming lesson this evening.
We had some curried red kidney beans and cauliflower (rajma masala) for dinner. I found it in the February issue of Sunset (p. 106). I finally found a way to make cauliflower palatable! It has plenty of potent spices, so maybe this will help blow away Shelley's cold. Amy made the observation that it looked a lot like minestrone soup. Maybe because I added some zucchinis to it...
