I can't believe that not one of you has figured out who Gypo Logger really is. Oh sure, you all think you know about John being a discrete entity that lives an idylic, carefree life as a bonafide logger up in Canada. He lives for today, drinks a little too much, smokes a pack or so a day, shows little or no interest in strategic issues, makes a good living, but only works as much as necessary to make ends meet. He's super friendly, honorable and mischievous, all at the same time. All he does for fun involves woodslore. 99% of the books he reads contain stories, history and poems about the great outdoors. Every single day of his present life, he does some combination of the following:
1. Works as a logger for between 2 and 5 hours, if at all.
2. Reads only books about woodslore.
3. Smokes a pack of Export A cigarettes.
4. Drinks and average of 8 ounces of grain alcohol in the form of
beer, blueberry wine or cheap "Napolean" brandy.
5. Talks to some girl in Washington about sex for an average of
4 hours.
6. Talks to key members of the "AS Mafia" for an average of 4
hours.
7. Types an average of 237 words on AS forums at 8 WPM.
8. Takes an average of 1/3 of a shower.
9. Eats a can of smoked salmon.
10. Takes apart saws on his dining room table.
11. Files and grinds chain.
12. Dreams about how to live in the Yukon with no money when
he turns 80.
13. Spends 30 microseconds thinking about how he will arrange
the order of tasks 1-12 above, so that tomorrow will be more
interesting than today was.
Sounds kinda like the antithesis of someone else around here to me.
