The bright sunshine has been almost overwhelming. The heat makes me want so badly to run into the Yukon River and not come out until dusk. My cabin offers shade, but also causes stagnant air. The front porch offers a slight breeze but is dreadfully in direct line of the sun. The heat certainly doesn't make things seem very easy. In fact it tends to make everything harder. Even fishing gets irritable when combined with hot weather. Obviously I was born an Alaskan- for only the kind of humans that dearly despise warmth would happily delve into snow nine months out of the year.
