Goatee flambe anyone???

There used to be a pretty good amount of hair here, and I know it is between my eyes but it kept me warm. It is now bald.
Goatee and nose hair are strugglin', and I recently invested in a nose hair trimmer too.
Really creepy picture of me but I am only exaggerating the look a little bit, it is really lopside.

Hello everybody, as if I have three hundred readers to this blog. I really only can confirm one person, Ryan my brother in law as a reader. Thank you for your support Ryan. I am a big fan of your blog too, always love the Anya photos and the sushi boat made my mouth water.

So back to the rambling, goatee flambee people. I was lighting my grill the other day and it flashed on me, this is the first time I have had this happen. It is interesting how the smell if burnt hair will stick with you for a few hours, actually when I took a shower the next morning I got another dose of my chin wiskers, eyebrows and eye lashes, the hair between my eyes, a few hairs that were sticking out from under my hat, sideburns.............you get the idea.

I do look a few years younger with my eyebrows plucked, and a little more interested in what people are saying to me with the one eyebrow now singed to a rainbow shape and the other to almost as thick as the wire thing you use to close the bread bag. People just keep talking and talking thinking I can't get enough of their story about the little feather that was blowing down the street in front of them.

And the story about my friends grandma was just a little less boring than watching a dentist read a magazine in a DMV lobby. But the eyebrows kept them going.

So with that said I have an announcement to make, my new camera should be delivered today so my next time in town I should have several good Alaska photos for you, or some real high quality photos of me flexing in the bathroom mirror, well see.

So the people I have been meeting at the lodge are really cool, I have already got a lot of email addresses and phone numbers. People telling me about cool places I should work at during the winter and such. I should probably start thinking about what I will do for a winter job a little more seriously, but I am going to wait it out this time. I will have two months to figure it out as I sit on my parents couch in my underwear with a bag of potato chips and a half empty two liter of diet Mountain Dew..........................Sorry Dad, I'm just kidding. But that is a little funny.

Well my coffee is wearing off and I'm running out of things to say, lets see, let me think, food prices, holy cow batman is food expensive here. I will be photographing menus and adding them to a running list of things that turn your hair gray. I am open to anyone sending me photos of these things in life you see and suddenly realize another one jumped ship. But back to my point, Food prices.

At the Black Pelican we had these little pre battered fish nuggets call child Rockfish bites, we served three pieces of these, a handful of fries and a pickle for 6.25 or so, I ordered what was called a "halibut burger" the other day for 10.00$ This "burger" consisted if TWO pieces of kids rockfish and a bun with onion and some shitty fries, I know for fact that a case of these cost 14.00, so in Alaska it probably cost 26.00$, you get 75 pieces of fish in a case.

They are making 370.00 off a case of fish, take out three packs of buns, three onions and two bags of shitty fries and they still make over 320.00 off the case of basically fish rib meat.

And I thought used car salesmen were shady as shit.

AND I will add that this "halibut burger" was sold from a roadside bus that is only open for three months of the year. A whole lotta overhead there folks.

Whatever.

So now the coffee has really worn off so I will go down and see if the camera is here yet and try to take some photos today and post them tomorrow morning before I go back to the island.

So I'll be back when I hit dry land again Batman and till' then stay cool.

later
