14 Years Ago Today – 6.24.2009 – Alaska
June 24, 1995
I’ve been in Homer for 2 days now. We found job pitching fish. It’s actually hilarious. I think we were very lucky to find work right away. There have been people here for a couple of weeks and still haven’t found a thing. I’m still amazed at myself. I’m camping out on a beach, working for the summer. It’s really difficult to get jobs. I know what it feels like to be completely destitute. Although it does have a certain freedom.
I think I finally got into the mindset of just getting by until you find something. Cord seems pretty cool – latched on pretty quick but that’s ok. Homer is a little odd. It might just be that I’m in a village of tents and living with tent people. I hope this [halibut] charter job works out.
