Once again, an alternative view, ha and don't mean to offend any friends. Sat afternoon, came in from hauling in another sled load of birch with skandic for nx winter's woodpile, grabbed an iced mug, millers, and kicked on tv. There was some show on called "Moore Up North" Some ultra left wing blond from Anch I believe. She had a panel on there that even offended my sense of right & wrong. They were going on about the legislators who were lowering taxes once again for oil industry up here. Comparing how much money they were all getting (APOC figures) and who was supporting this and that. I guess this Shaynn Moore has a web site but she was a little too goofy for me to even look at it. Anyway, she was citing all the oil companies, how they were rolling in the bucks, and how they would still be looking for tax reductions even if we give them the oil for free just part of their game to increase profits. Then she went on about how much more money the state would have if they treated the oil companies like everybody else.

Now I know figures lie & liars figure but she mentioned this: Conoco Phillips apparently is going broke too, they have 20% of their investment in Alaska; yet it produces 50% of the Company's profits. This Moore girl then tied it all in to a legislator in Juneau who wants to give oil 750 million in tax reductions and the deal was oil would then bring 2500 Alaskans back to work; in other words, $300,000 a job. Now that didn't bother me at all but it really set them all off on the tv show, ha ha. Actually, I have a friends who want to get back up the slope as their unemployment is running out;;;; have afraid they might become democrats over no work, ha ha.

So if you ever want to come unglued, check that blond out up north. ha ha.

Still snowing, hanging around 10 above, and I'm seeing lynx around the house everyday. They must be trying to feed their pups and cleaning up all the snowshoes that subsist off my garden.
