Walkabout to Salvation Army to see if they were open (yes) then post office then yoga and lunch at the senior center. The senior center's freezer broke so our meal was 'shelf stable' creole with chicken by Miss Olive, not bad! The sun did shine for a bit to help the spirits of all the busy roof shovellers. We lost another roof at the Bill Ray Center, formerly classrooms for the university built in 1976 and where I had taken several classes. It had been pretty much abandoned for the past few years and was for sale.

1 January 2026 Thursday - Juneau Alaska
Happy New Year! The snow has stopped falling and a bit of sun is peeking through the clouds...colder temps which means more ice underneath all that snow. Beautiful walk on the dock which someone had plowed, and with sounds of helicopter 'bombing' the avalanche area on Thane Road, then walk in the neighborhood where a plow had plowed a car under a berm, then home to find that the Fred Meyer gas station canopy had collapsed so no gas there and that the store itself closed due to potential issues with its roof full of snow (unfortunately you only find this local news on fb).
