REALLY Big News

Before getting to the REALLY big news, let's review what's happened since the last post.

Formula 1
Raikonnen wins the driver's championship, Hamilton 2nd, Alonso 3rd. I'm glad for the Finn, think Hamilton lucked out after two stupid rookie mistakes, and surmise Alonso has burned bridges w/Ron Dennis & McLaren. Too bad, 'cause the boys from Woking will continue to battle the red cars for championships.

Baisbol
Sox win! Sox win ! Sox win!
An amazing display of power ball, small ball, and pitching. If they can keep this bunch together, everyone else will be cleaning up the scraps.

Guvmint
Shrub and cronies continue to take us down the dark and sordid path. I truly worry about where we will find ourselves before the next inauguration. Shrub and his Believers (handlers?) may yet get us into WW3.

REALLY Big News

I've accepted a job in Brunswick, GA. I'll be the Chief, Branch of Training, National Wildlife Refuge System - Law Enforcement (What a mouthful) at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. We've put our house on the market, and will be moved by the guvmint. We had hoped to be on the road by 25 November, but as the contract relocation company (Prudential) has yet to make contact, I have serious doubts that's going to happen. I go on the headquarters payroll 25 November... I e-mailed the HQ person who coordinates the relo bidness that I had no intention of leaving Alaska with this house/mortgage hanging over my head. We'll see what transpires .... at best, we'll be in "temporary quarters" during the Christmas holidays.
JUST LUVERLY.
More to come about this return to Jawjuh in future post(s).

Speaking on behalf of the ENTIRE state of Alaska, we miss you. I know I never visited, but I still feel the pang of sadness every time I drive through Sterling and know you aren't there. I hope you and Lisa are well and warm - you are missing a great snow storm as I type... !
