It might be rarer then a siting of Bigfoot in this part of Alaska and I only have 7 hours to find it today!!! Without it my life will feel a whole lot emptier. I’m in search of a pair of underwear in Skagway Alaska.  Yes, I thought I packed an extra few pairs but there never enough and at $3 a pair to wash them it’s time for the search to begin. With a population  of 750 people there’s sure to be a need of fresh underwear or is there? The search will begin shortly and if I don’t find it at least I’ll see an extra big pair of feet.

This is supposed to be what we see (see above) when go whale watching but we  found whale’s with attitude instead.  Yes we  saw a bit of tail but that was about it. I don’t know if they just felt too naked or something but they were unwilling to show us much more. Don’t they realize how much time and effort including monies we spent to go out to see them and still they couldn’t even show a bit of warmth.  Well the next time I’m going to visit the bears instead they’ll enjoy me maybe a bit too much.

You’re staying over-night in a strange cold city and after an exhausting day finally check in a dirty old hotel. You have just enough energy to grab a quick shower then jump into bed and as the water starts to wipe off all your angst a FEAR EMERGES. The water continues to run as you look out your shower curtain and realize it’s not there!!!  There is no towel as the water starts to get colder and colder. Toilet paper won’t cover you as well. I know it’s not psycho but what would you do?

My crap game was turning out to be a trip to the bathroom with only my last five dollars left on the table then suddenly out of know where the roll of the dice lead to new friends and wealth.  It is true I’m no Donald Trump but at least I can buy one of his ties (at a discount). Within an hour I took that  $5 and turned it into $300.00 and made some new friends along the way. The truth is it doesn’t matter what hat you wear or accent you speak as long as you roll the dice  the right way everybody loves you. Craps gives you un found energy you won’t find in any other substance and if you win you’ll find new energy that can last all night long. The moment of winning might be too short but so is life so once in awhile you’ve got to roll the dice.

FOOTNOTE- This was not the last $5 of any serious money (mortgage payments, car insurance etc) but monies I had in my pocket at the time. Bet with what you bring nothing more.

Just as if I was a baby thinking about the thumb in my mouth I was ready to hit the sack. It appeared nothing could keep me up until….

the fever hit me and I was given a new shot of energy.  This fever was unlike any drug I could have taken (I think) and it could have left me in minutes or kept me rolling all night long. What was this fountain of energy shot check my next blog piece to find out but I warn you it could cost you or bring you new found wealth!
