Still Alive - Anchorage

I've been in Anchorage for the past three days just waiting to be deployed in Kodiak or elsewhere. I experienced today an old feeling which I had almost forgot: boredom. While Anchorage is beautiful there's not a whole lot to do this time of year. It's too dangerous to hike I'm told, and I've got no means really of getting out into the wild.
It was beautiful today however, I took some pictures, read a bit, breathed the air and felt happy to be alive.
