My girl Bonnie, who roasted up quite nicely and was very tasty I can tell you - the grey jays are still picking on her carcass in the lower yard and will be fed the 3/8" thick slab of fat I froze and picked out of roasting pan - was banded by a biologist with whom I used to share a house in Anchorage and have known for many years. What are the chances??? - relatively high up here actually.... I called him last night and told him I shot one of his 'pets'. He said they banded 1000 birds so I'll keep looking. Another friend shot 3 banded birds out there this fall.

In town here it's $5/gal; in the remote villages it can be $9/gal.

Hi Richard
A bit off topic- I noticed in the last catalog I received that Filson used a quote from you. Nice. Has that been in there for long and I just missed it? Cheers Marc

Cool! I didn't know they were using that in hard copy catalogs. It was on their website for years; not sure if it's still there. I didn't know about it until a high school classmate sent me the page from their online catalog. I sent that to them about 25yrs ago I think. I think they may be using another of my things in there; a pair of double tin pants with something like "anything else of yours still waterproof after 16yrs of use?". I had a pair of tin pants I had used so much I had to sew new bottoms on the legs from the knees down but they were still waterproof. I finally got new ones and sent the old ones to Filson and told them to use them in ads somehow. I think they're in one of the catalogs I just got. No credit to me but I bet they're mine. They're worn about right and who else would be stupid enough to send a smelly old pair of pants back to them?!

Hah! That's great Richard, I'll have to dig out a catalog and take a look.
