If I could add to this verse, it would include “seasoned with salt and not colorful metaphors or expletives.” I have read many conversations on social media about how the Bible doesn’t say, “don’t curse,” “don’t swear” and “never defines inappropriate words.” But, do colorful metaphors and expletives flavor our conversations with salt or do they leave a bitter sound in the ears of those listening?

There is always catch and release trout fishing and Dolly Varden (a type of trout). The season actually begins further down river with King Salmon. There is also the world-famous Halibut fishing 3 hours south of Cooper Landing at Homer.

The L-shaped poles on either side of the road mark the edges for snow plows – yes, the snow gets that high. Near the top of the pass, we saw hundreds and hundreds of ptarmigan.
