Kick the chairs out of the way, shoot the top off the bottle
of whiskey, crank up the rock and roll tunes, light the cigars,
run the pitiable government chaps back into their hole, and this
aint no bullshit...
Oh, stories are being added from time to time, albeit not many
or often. The story guy, with gobs of outrageous not-sure-if-he-survived
stories in the files, is busy with other websites, harassing the
government with questions for which you want the answers, much
to the anger of the government folks who perceive themselves to
be above question. He is also slaving away to fix up the new AlaskanAlpineClub.org
headquarters, drinking cheap wine for lack of money for better
wine, keeping his rusted-out 35 year old jeep running to get to
town, scrounge the dumpsters for useful things, haranguing colleagues
with rhetorical theatrics over their failure to protect your rights
for you, toiling at certain public benefit projects, and whatever
else he claims to be doing as an excuse for the moment. But be
patient. Something new may show up here. There are plenty of other
websites to surf, equally boring. Now, wisely abandon the computer,
and get back to something more productive.
Ice vault where the next Alaska Stories are secured.

Oh, ah, and if you like what you read at this site, and you
buy books, go to one of those bookstore places and see what a
comparable book costs, and if you wish, send that trifling to
Doug. He will thank you and pay his rent, web hosting fees, and
buy more ammo to open the next bottle of whiskey or wine so he
can keep his fingers tap-dancing on the keyboard.
Aint this e-book thing great. The author keeps adding to the
book, without charging you for another book or even the first
one if you can't afford it. There was once a famous painter whose
paintings were in museums. He kept getting caught in the museums
with his paints and brushes, improving his paintings. These stories
may become more accurate from time to time, when I brush in a
few adjectives or events.
Ah, and if you have a government job, like I had in the past,
and if you don't have a genuine sense of humor, find a government
source for Alaska stories, because this site does not flatter
the delicate egos of the poor sad sorts who have fallen victim
to government jobs. It could be no other way and be written by
an Alaskan.
