The premier of The National Parks went well. No A/V disasters, always a good thing. There was a fairly small turnout which we imagined would probably be the case. There's usually only a handful of people for our Tuesday movie night (in a town with no movie theater), let alone a loooong documentary about an organization many people here disapprove of on TV that they can watch at home. Oh well, we do what we can. As we're learning in this documentary, many of the great achievements in the history of the park service were accomplished primarily due to one person's inspiration and dedication. So, it's the quality of the audience and the experience we give them that matters, not the quantity.
Unfortunately, a full day of work today followed by the documentary kept me from fully enjoying another beautiful, sunny day with temps in the low 30's. It's great weather, and there has been a clear view of the low, snow-topped mountains of Cape Krusenstern across Kotzebue Sound. The snow that fell last week has all melted, but there are a few puddles around town that stay glazed over or slushy with ice. According to the forecast, we may be getting more snow later this week and a bit cooler temperatures. At this point, I'm still looking forward to it!
