Yeah that's the kind of thing I was looking at. Guess if I head up into Alaska I'll just have to pick up on of those industrial size bear spray things. Baker has some good stories about his ride to Fairbanks

She wouldn't have gotten that in AZ, or most states I've lived in. And here, living with a boyfriend but not married doesn't count for anything, gotta have that marriage certificate to be set free. So my better than average income I would have had for retirement puts me somewhere around the poverty level. Of course, if I still had that, wouldn't have been able to retire and probably been through a bankruptcy. If I could do it all over again... I'd be right where I'm at now, having at least a few days alone most weeks. And have a few old bikes to play with, would be an empty garage without that divorce. Except for her nice car and the fix frequently beater I'd be driving. Might not be wealthy, but I'm enjoying life. Expect you will, too.

This trip is one of those bucket list things that I honestly never thought I would actually get to make happen but it's sure looking like it is. Plus a sidetrip to grand ol' Minnesota to see my buddy Stan, I am pretty excited about it!
Fixed it for you Tracy !

Was married, so didn't notice. I don't like cold weather. Months of snow and no daylight were enough for me. Sell it back to Russia, I want nothing to do with it

Afternoon all, days getting shorter, temps getting lower.
Gets much worse may have to find the snow blower and make sure it runs...:{


Two hillbillies walk into a restaurant. While having a bite to eat, they talk about their moonshine operation.
Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough.
After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says, Kin ya swallar?'
The woman shakes her head no. Then he asks, 'Kin ya breathe?'
The woman begins to turn blue, and shakes her head no.
The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up her dress, yanks down her drawers, and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue.
The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm, and the obstruction flies out of her mouth.As she begins to breathe again, the Hillbilly walks slowly back to his table.


His partner says, 'Ya know, I'd heerd of that there 'Hind Lick Maneuver' but I ain't niver seed nobody do it!'

Be well, be safe.
Al
