Still, the Betster will gladly take the rain and cooler temperatures over the heat engulfing the Lower 48 states. If these gray days are getting you down, there are plenty of events and activities going on around town to enjoy, indoors and outdoors. Just check out these Best Bets.

Get out and enjoy it all, including these Best Bets.
Here on the south shore of Beluga Lake, our mornings get filled with the roar of float planes taking off. From little Cessnas to big Otters, private pilots and tour groups take off almost every minute as they head out to see the wonders of Kachemak Bay and lower Cook Inlet. Bears might be involved — big, hungry brown bears grazing on the flats or snagging for salmon at Brooks River and other streams.
