off water and on his way home
I don't know if you've followed B's expedition but he's out of the water on on his way home with stories to tell and another successful trip under his belt.
There was a bear attack in Alaska last weekend and though everyone will eventually be fine it certainly seems as though it was harrowing. I'm grateful knowing that B has a vast amount of training and is prepared, when heading out, for many eventualities. I'm also grateful he hasn't had to use his training in such an emergency. NOLS instructors (which he is also) are well trained and I'm certain things could have been worse had NOLS instructors not been involved in this situation.
Don't I sound like a know-it-all? In truth, I've been chatting with B as I wanted his opinion on what happened.
And here? In Tuvalu?
A mystery package*...some slight boredom at work...matte nail polish...the end of Youngest's art classes, and slightly cooler temperatures.
I'm contemplating a new pair of jeans for the fall - like school clothes, but I don't want boot-cut jeans, I don't think. I want straight, slightly baggy jeans, and I'm not spending anything close to $100.
Thoughts?
*more on this later!

Also, what does NOLS stand for?
Lately I only shop online on outlet sites, it's great, cheaper, I don't need a car to travel for hundred miles (YAY!!!) and they have nice stuff.
You MUST have such a thing.
NOLS = National Outdoor Leadership School
as i've said before...admire your brother!!
For jeans, I'd suggest straight leg. If you want to try them on first, I'd try the Gap, J. Crew, and Banana Republic. You can also get Levi 512s from Amazon.com for $35.

Poor grizzlies used to roam most of the western US, I think; human habitation keeps forcing them farther and farther north.
On the topic of jeans: I bought some Levis from Tractor Supply Co. because I wanted straight leg, kind of baggy, too. Sadly, they're too "blue/crisp/new" looking for a while, so I have to break them in. I'm hankering for what you speak of, but am too lazy to look hard for them.
