Another beautiful evening in Alaska. Looks like we're setting up for a gorgeous sunset. Flowers are blooming, the fireweed are really getting fired up right now. Anyway, been a gorgeous summer, hotter than normal, lots of sunshine, been awesome. But there's been a rumor going around about there being a lot more mosquitoes than usual.
Not sure if that's really a problem or not, but one of the ways to deal with that is a product called DEET. If you use DEET a little bit on your clothes, a little bit on your hair, a little bit on your face. Keep it kind of light because it's not great for you. It really makes a huge difference on the mosquitoes. Like I say, I'm not sure there's actually an issue with them yet this year, but if there's a problem with them later in the year, I'll be ready.
