Title: Headin' to Alaska for 2 weeks

Leaving in a few days.

Assisting AKARNG with providing med support to local native tribes.

Should be rewarding, good experience.





There are lots of ptarmigans in Alaska.

The ptarmigans will be hiding from the bunnies.

That there are. Where you headed?

Rich, I doubt he'll be getting that far north. There are vicious brown bears, wolves with paws the size of skillets, and moose the size of the single wide up there though. And if you're going pretty soon, they don't call the mosquito the unofficial state bird for nothin'.

Unfortunately, It's been my experience that ptarmigans are much like the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.  They seem to believe that hiding their head under their wing makes them invisible.  After all, if they can't see you, you obviously can't see them. :rotf: :fuelfire: :lmao: :-) :popcorn:

The ptarmigans are master of camouflage. Rabbits and gyrfalcons can't get them.

I be in one of the villages along the eastern shore of Norton Sound.

We'll be holed-up in the local school which, I'm told, is fairly modern thanks to a government project but the villagers literally live in wooden houses with no indoor plumbing.

My question, "Are we allowed to find out if that cadance is true?" was not well-greeted.



Sarah Palin can. :stirpot:

Sarah Palin is the reason compasses point north.

Looks like you won't be too far from Nome. Hey, take plenty of diphtheria medicine.

They're pulling assets from all over, as they do every year. Each team will have a dental section.

One team is comprise of our psychiatrist and a veterinarian from someplace else and they're making a circuit through several very remote locations.

He was lamenting, "What are a psychiatrist and a vet going to do out in the middle of nowhere?"

I replied, "Well, sir, I know a sled dog who is very depressed. He keeps trying to move ahead in his job but the same assholes are always in his way."

"I don't know whether to laugh or cry."

"You're going to use it though, aren't you?"

"Yes."

Hey, I'll trade you gigs.

Going to Chicago next week for a couple of days.

With Rahm and the rest of the Obamaites there, it should be an even-up trade.

We're only the army.

We don't have enough firepower to transit Chicago safely.
