Where is the wildlife and fish? ABC and in the water do I win anything for this?  A free table dance. Ask for "Tiffany".

Sheesh. All this time I thought her name was "Bunny."

Alaska used to be part of Russia and the Russians actually had a settlement in California at Fort Ross. The Russians used Aleut hunters to kill seals and otters for the fur trade. They left in 1842. I think that's about the extent of the tie, and a road named Kalifornsky Beach.
Apparently Kalifornsky used to be Kalifonsky which has a basis in the Denai Indian word Kali meaning fishermen.

Because of a misspelling, according to Alan Borass, KPC anthropology prof.

A belt-fed semi-automatic .458. And bear bells.

Another bit of history apropros of nothing much above, is that during the Civil War, Russia anchored a goodly portion of their Pacific fleet in San Francisco harbor, I read somewhere... Just sort of a stopper in the bottle, like....  And that a Confederate gunship (Shenendoah?) made depredations against the Yankee whaling fleet in the North Pacific. Off the top of my head from somewhere in past readings - may not be accurate...

Sounds like the start of a Clive Cussler novel.

My corrections are always inexpensive.) You Alaska guys forgot to tell the Op about the yearly oil check! I believe you're thinking of the gals who lived on "the line".....they were required to get a yearly oil check along with a small fine.

Just another one of Alaska's rarely talked about species of dangerous game, the nefarious "Saber-toothed Crotch Cricket!"

Just another one of Alaska's rarely talked about species of dangerous game, the nefarious "Saber-toothed Crotch Cricket!" kind of a big word there.....not sure I have that in my lecksilicon; thinking it must mean really loud somehow.......thinking it probably doesn't refer to the machine either.

ohh my Alaskan brethern, you do crack me up!
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Nothing as drastic as dreaming of living in PA. It's usually more mundane like spending somewhere between a couple weeks and a couple months in a place like this in the dead of winter. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.caribbeanlandandproperty.com/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/imagemanager/images/caribbeanproperty/dominica/dom0248/dominica_sea_view_property.jpg) Poena point park looking west to kaena point (not actually on the point but around the corner in the cove); would know it anywhere edited to add, I've looked at more sunsets with Kaena point in the picture than all the other sunsets put together.
