I saw a young couple out on the lake today sharing an inflatable paddle board. The sun was shining and they were having a ball.
It looked like somone forgot the paddle, because he was rowing them around using one of those cheap, three piece, aluminum, compact snow shovels that every good Alaskan keeps in their car for when they go in the ditch.
It was a great reminder to do what you can with what you've got. Life is short and summer is shorter.
