Drabble by Kevin Fagan for August 03, 2022

BUT, none of YOU are Alaskans.

The buffets on my cruises did not have incredibly long lines.

Most fun trip was the ferry to Juneau. “TRAVEL TO JUNEAU BY FERRY”

In Juneau used “Rent a Wreck” car for sightseeing (“The car will be in the ferry parking lot. License number xxx. Key under mat.”) Stayed at a BnB (someone’s refurbished basement). Hiked all over and only saw one bear, in the BnB backyard!

Washington, D.C., has a larger population than Alaska does (>700,000), but Alaska gets 2 senators and 1 representative in Congress, and the District gets no voting representation at all.

And not one mask…. NOT indicative of current cruises for public areas.

Ralph’s just grumpy because the ship staff saw the way he eats and made him go to the end of the line so there would be food for the other passengers.

Populations tend to be clumped and many times in many places it causes coagulation and slows or stops movement.

Did Fagan forget to ink in that population figure after he’d penciled it in..?

Maybe you should go where people know your name.

Ralph: Someone needs to set the Bearings Straight!
