I'm trying to be polite... but failing...

Ken, the guy teaching, adapts it to our area, even though he could not pronounce Oregon correctly. The one I went to out of curiosity was a GOL course and had too many students, but was good for the people there. The Seattle Parks dept. sent one of their crews to it.

yeah im sure some folks could use the training... i just cant take it real seriously at this point, or anything really.

It's a good set of basics for the ol' toolkit but it sure ain't the whole shebang.

There are strange things done in the midnight sun, by the men who moil for gold. The arctic trails have their secret tales that would make your blood run cold.

The northern lights have seen some queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was the night on the Marge of lake labarge
I cremated Sam McGee.

Now Sam McGee was from Tennessee

My mom read us that poem at bedtime.

Have you guys seen the movie The Ranger, the Cook, and A Hole in the Sky? It is based on the Norman McLean novel.

Not yet, but if you say it's good I wanna watch it.
But tell me where, have all the hoboes gone to?
I don't see their fires a burning down by the rusty railroad track.
Could it be that time has gone and left them?
Tied up in life's eternal traveling sack.

Patty, truth being stranger than fiction, I have a special invite to meet the great granddaughter of the man who wrote that poem and published it in 1907. She is coming to the Yukon this September 16 from Monte Carlo and wants to meet this penniless woodcutter, mostly because I have been a long time fan of her Great Grandfather and collector of his works.

 

[bitzer]

I was at that house when I was twelve. I have two small books of his works.

I like Prine. And Robert service. My favorite one as a young kid was the one about a square who loved a trim triangle. Never knew what it was about then and I haven't read it in ages. Google here we come.
