Speaking of that, sorry I missed you while in FL. We were on a rather tight schedule. I am sure we will be able to get together latter. I will be calling SS later as I will have some lengthy lay overs in the future. I am taking a new assignment in March. Driving from PS-4 to PS-1 and back every day.

Same, but different. Not as bad...

Nope. We have insulated houses here.

Comes natural.

Me not like bunny boots either. Use seal skin for boots!

Different brand, same style. If it's Carhartt's you mean?

No! We are civilized people!

What's that? But we don't have indian natives around here if that's what you mean. Only sami people. Never married one...

Eat caribou, or reindeer, every Christmas, and more often than that actually. Not sure what those sailor boy pilot crackers are.
Quote:

Yes. What about it?
Quote:

That's a good one! Never thought of that. Used up half a bottle of good whiskey last time. It's noted! Thanks for the tip!
Quote:

No! Got hair all over my back. No problem!
Quote:

Used to be. Now I buy new stuff when it brakes.
Quote:

Sigh... That's just the normal price over here I'm afraid.
Quote:
Personally know two the towns 30+ sex offenders from work
Are there any cute female offenders available?...
Quote:

Used to be, behind my shop! I put up a high fence...
Quote:

Shoo or shoot? Better tell me which before I answer that one!
If there's a conclusion to be drawn of this, it might be that at least I would survive up in Alaska, right? And note that I already live further north than Anchorage!
