Possible Icing Conditions
Bob was glad he had tuned into the NOAA report citing possible icing conditions for small aircraft. Things like that were easy to overlook . . .
Quit Whining
Alonzo knew his world view might be somewhat limited, but he wished the Al Gore/Michael Moore and Hollywood/entertainment expert crowd crew would quit whining about global warming; two or three degrees warmer would feel pretty good right now. And hey, how about that massage to loosen up those cold-tightened muscles . . .
Just Do It
On his first visit to Alaska, little four year old Eric said to his dad, “Look, a seagull!” His father asked him if he remembered all the birds in the Nemo movie that screamed “MINE, MINE, MINE!”, and explained those were seagulls. Eagles, on the other hand, he explained don’t have to say anything, they just do . . .
Upon Reflection
When the photographer from Texas asked to take Bruce’s picture, promising to send him a print, he thought why not? Upon reflection, he thought that it would probably end up in National Geographic, the photographer getting big bucks, and Bruce getting nothing but a copy of the magazine and a photo he could frame . . .
Nevermore
After his wife booked a nature hiking vacation in Arizona in the Sonoran desert in August (An un-researched eBay deal, cheap and now he understood why) and this year a rustic Alaskan vacation in February, all he could say when she started talking about Africa or India was “Nevermore!”
Cold Feet
Henry hated to admit it–he’d never Tweet it or post in on his Facebook page at the risk of being called wimpy, but dang, he really had cold feet flying here in Alaska. He wondered: “Shouldn’t I be able to find something, anything, in the way of foot warmers on Amazon or eBay?” . . . . . David, Sf.G.
