What unfortunate news?

The green dumpster has long been replaced by a bear proof one.

I don't know any Mark, Captain. lol I just see all the flak the ladies give you, so I feel they think you're partly, if not all, bad.
Yeah, sometime when you're going back and forth from school, land in Ketchikan and take the ferry to here for a couple days or so.

CC is completely bad to the bone, but the potholes and the bears on my road pretty much keep him scared off.

Just because they are Asian does not mean they don't speak or understand English. Well they might be now after all the yelling. Michigan has idjits. Female idjits. That serve food. And yell at their foreign customers.
Never did understand why idjits think that speaking loudly to supposedly non English speaking people is going to help the situation any. Most Asian tourists I've run across here have enough of a handle on the English language to be able to communicate in restaurants, shops, et al.

On the other hand...and I've posted about it before here a couple of times...idjit "lady" tourist in Skagway was yelling at a waitress who was a foreign student....waitress had a thick accent but was easy enough to understand. Idjit was yelling at the girl for not "speaking English" or being a U.S. citizen, and the last straw came when the idjit started yelling at the kid to get her change for a dime so she could live a tip. The poor girl ran to the back crying; a guy I was talking to at the next table who was down from Fairbanks and I got rid of the idjit because there was no management on duty. The weird thing was was that the whole place was full of people off the ships, and even though the woman was causing quite a scene, none of them even acted like it was anything unusual.

Some people are alive...only because it's illegal to kill them.

The waitress this morning was such a pleasant older lady. Just as happy as could be. Like night and day. You'd think if this place is in such a bind for jobs...folks would be happy to have one. That lady last night needs a reality check or some time off.

Stranded in MI last night because Delta had backed up numerous flights waiting on some flight from Japan. So I missed my connection to AK from Detroit...before I ever got to Detroit. Delta = IDJITS.
So now I'm headed back to the airport in hopes I can even land in MSP which is now about to be surrounded by tornado's.
I guess I can hope to be re-routed via Seattle or something. I just wanna go home.
