OF COURSE, I'M PARTICULAR TO THE TUNDRA NORTH OF THE ARCTIC CIRCLE. TUNDRA IS GREEN, GRASSY, LOW. LIKE THE STEPPES OF SIBERIA. IT LOOKS LIKE A POSTCARD FROM THE PLEISTOCENE. YOU CAN ALMOST SENSE A HERD OF WOOLLY MAMMOTHS HUDDLING TOGETHER IN THE COLD, STEAM ESCAPING FROM THEIR TRUNKS....

SEE "MR MIKE MURDERS A GROUND SQUIRREL" UNDER ARCTIC ADVENTURE VIGNETTES. THIS REALLY HAPPENED IN 1979 UP NORTH OF THE BROOKS RANGE NEAR THE MESA SITE. NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH.

Wow, have I been lazy

But, look, I've been on the road! and, have I been sick? whatever is going around this year blows big time and does NOT go away. Check out my latest 'essay'-what a stiff sounding word that is. It's about that great Alaskan, William Spear, creator of the best enamel pins in the world, and a hottie, to boot.
