Isolated and unpredictable, but an excellent place to live.

I'll be in Bethel in a few weeks, will give you a call.
(Still need to go to the Snack Shack...)
This is the first time in years I've seen this many storms in a row. It's relentless! Looks like we have another one on it's way right after this, again!

Here is my advice to you...start at the beginning when Guido was first introduced. Find the thread entitled "Getting lost in the woods for two weeks" or some such begun by Lone-Traveler. Take the time (a few hours, give or take) and read the entire thread from beginning to end...but I warn you, do NOT have a drink in hand whilst reading...many a monitor was covered/ruined.

Snakes in Alaska. Sequel to "Snakes on a Plane"? Sounds like a movie title to me, and like 30 Days of Darkness, or whatever that piece of trash was called, will not be filmed in Alaska but in BC or WA.

Only the signs have been changed to protect the innocent.

Well, we do have Big Foot (s) to contend with. See...it's very difficult to stay in shape during the long winters, so one must first understand the origins of Big Foot as explained by this person (below).

Posted by Robert M Oregon
February 05, 1999

We North westerners have wondered for quite some time why the Pacific Northwest is the habitat of Bigfoot. Scientific evidence has recently come to light that shows these creatures have developed their large feet as a result of an evolutionary trend due mainly to climate conditions.

The rainy conditions that causes a layer of mud to cover much of the terrain, it has been discovered, has caused an adaptation to occur which allows Bigfoot to walk on the wet surface without becoming mired ankle deep and therefore stranded in the rush of oncoming mudslides. (This is supported by evidence of sightings of the Yeti, or more commonly, the Abominable Snowman in the Himalayas, whose feet have grown to snowshoe-size proportions. They are able then to scamper away from oncoming avalanches.)

Fossils have been found of a creature that pre-dates Bigfoot. This animal was known as Patella Rex, literally King Kneecap. Big Knee ruled the Northwest Rainforests when the climate was even wetter, and the mud was knee deep. Again, Indian legends speak of Big Knee with awe and reverence. Unfortunately, most records of this monster were lost in the Y1K hieroglyphics crash, when the now extinct Bark Bug demolished the bark libraries.

Scientists and other explorers are excited, however, by the recent discovery of two large smooth indentations nearly eight feet across, found in a sample of slaty mudstone that appear to predate even Big Knee. One of the researchers was quoted as saying; "This discovery clearly indicates the effect of climate on the evolutionary trend that leads us to Bigfoot. The Pacific Northwest was even wetter in the past, and we now have proof of the existence and origin of Big Butt."

That's what we have to contend with ("Big Butt"), which is a lot worst than snakes and mosquitos
