Nice
having friends in Alaska. Have four countinng RAK. In this
instance, Hucker's friend - and the family's - Jason. Flew in to
visit with the Huck and brought me about 4 pounds of Salmon (fresh and
smoked). Stand-up Boner!
Interesting kid, Jason. He moved from MD and landed in AK, with
no money to speak of. Built himself a tree house and lived in it
for several years while working as a disk jockey in one of those 10
watt stations, like in Northern Exposure.
Huck gave him an i Pod with about 2 million songs (everyone purchased),
and Jason set to playing them all along with saying whatever he felt
like saying. He was the number one rated show in wherever the
hell he was. You gotta love that spirit. And the Salmon,
which costs about as much as silver, but tastes better.
Several years ago another AK friend sent me (overnight FED-EX)
about 20 pounds of salmon he caught. We had a dinner party, and still
had salmon up the arse. Put it in the garage freezer.
Went in a few days later and the garage smelled like a dead cat.
Raccoons opened the freezer and pulled that salmon out. What they
didn't eat was by now crawling with maggots. Still tasted pretty good
though.
