That's right everyone, the rumors are true. I'm out of the Subaru and have purchased what Anna refers to as "a campus." I've set up shop in Homer, AK, for who-knows-how-long. Homer is a town of about 4000 fishermen, aging hippies, and a small force of laborers. It sits on the tip of the Kenai Peninsula, a four-hour drive south of Anchorage, overlooking Kachemak Bay and the mountains and glaciers on the Northern edge of the Harding icefield. The area is hemmed in by the volcanoes that border the Cook Inlet. Wildlife includes moose, bears, sea otters, whales, sheep, and even some South Dakota-looking pheasants. Homer is mostly made up of independent businesses, so my mission of avoiding chains and "forget organic, buy local" is pretty easy. Friends are easy to come by here, even for new kids, so the campus is already the site of many a get-together. As proof that I am ready for visitors, here are some pics:
