Take a stroll down memory lane. Grab yer dicks.

Top of the morning gents,

I'm hearing noises on conservative talk radio broadcasts that Alaska needs to convene a constitutional convention so we can rewrite an amended constitutional rule book, or even as some mean and scary hillbilly white folks claim, to compose a completely new constitution. It seems that common sense folks are on the wrong side of stupid contrived issues such as Trump's election was stolen, Dominion voting machines were hacked, ballot harvesting gave the election to Biden, the COVD-19 virus was made in a lab, the inoculation shots are poisonous, Centers for Disease and Control mask and vaccine mandates are unconstitutional and global warming is a hoax.

I don't care about the source of global warning and subsequent global whining, but walking through Viking museums in Finland and Norway, I saw 1,000-3,000 year old maps of the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans completely free of ice at both North and South Poles. Ice caps at both top and bottom of the planet fluctuate from massive to non-existent, relatively quickly, within tens of centuries. Zero polar ice caps allowed Vikings high speed strategic open waters, maritime dominance, and free reign to rape and pillage on all the world's oceans and continents. One other interesting fact about Viking maritime maps is recent ground penetrating satellite imaging has affirmed the size and shape of an ice-free South Pole, as nearly identical to old Norse cartography. The Roman Empire reached all the way to northern England and was repelled and pushed back by those pesky Vikings. Besides, at that particular time in history, the Romans had a massive illegal barbarian immigration problem and an uppity Jewish carpenter from Nazareth to take care of.

To examine another point of conservative contention, the riots at the capital on January 6th could've been a righteous protest, until stupidity took over and Confederate flags were waived and our tax dollars were grossly wasted on property damage. Stupid vandalism by 1-term president Donald Trump white minority supporters appeared quite similar to the Black Lives Matter riots that trashed your tax dollars.

One conservative talk radio host of distinction is Alex Jones. He's done a real good job of blending Republican issues with conspiracy theories that you cops may find a little schizophrenic. Okay, maybe a lot. If you see InfoWars bumper stickers declaring 911 and inside job, you've seen Alex Jones in action. Folks eat this shit up. Another silly assertion he's pushed is that all the mass shootings from Columbine to the present, are a product of the Federal Government inserting undercover actors and carrying out orders from some secret cabal of New World Order members. Mr. Jones is now in court, and hot water because he claimed all the grieving parents of the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre were bogus claimants and Hollywood actors paid for by secret departments of our Federal Government and Globalists hell-bent on taking away the 2nd amendment provisions of "a well regulated militia being necessary to the freedom of the people, and the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

My dumb ass idea to counter gun insanity and stupid mass shootings is to make mental illness a crime, drunk driving and domestic violence good cause to strip retards of their firearms, and freedom. The rights of child molesters is a sticky wicket in that most families embrace child rape and physical violence as forms of regular punishment and even expressions of affection. Go native eh?

Another issue you'll hear on conservative talk radio is that we shouldn't honor our national debt and stop paying taxes to the Treasury. The national debt has been growing since World War II and is a means to spend more than what we have in the banks. Sort of like a credit card. These debts are accumulated from our military and domestic spending, because instead of paying our bills like fiscally responsible motherfuckers, Americans vote for politicians that lower taxes, neglect galloping federal debt and praying we won't mind the bill that's still owed. The national debt is pert near $35 trillion dollars and divided amongst all us 350 million Americans, equals $100K for each of us. Every one of us.

In the last 2000 years, no nation has honored its national debt. The governments and currencies simply become bankrupt and worthless and the country dissolves. You've seen numerous nations fall to pieces. The Soviet Union is the biggest you've witnessed, but don't overlook the numerous African and South American nations that have become insolvent and cease functioning. At that point in a collapsing nation's history, dictators, drug lords and rich bullies are keen to move in, and take control. If I have to continue spelling out these historical patterns, I'm surrounded by real fucking retarded Alaskans.

To govern a diverse citizenry, requires Solomon's wisdom and judgement, not divisive bully pulpit. Blaming parties and poor races mirrors the blame for Jews wrecking Europe's economy during the Great Depression. Failed countries transition from a land of laws and systems of equal fair play, into countries of nonsense policies based on race, religion, province and clan. Throughout history collapsing failed nations are known for abandoning its non-religious secular values, votes and debates with old state boundaries and political divisions embracing extreme populist strongmen encouraging over the top, narrow minded church dogma, discrimination and xenophobia. Sounds vaguely familiar don't it. What America has inflicted on other countries to accelerate their failure, we're doing to ourselves today. Borrowing more than we can afford puts us at the mercy of our lenders and we've made a promise with our mouths we are forced to pay with our asses. Bend over nigger.

No-win political arguments aside, I like Alaska's existing constitution in its current form because it handles most issues that piss off majorities and minorities evenly and fairly. Where we find ourselves on these issues can shift greatly, and coincide with changes in the pendulum swings of popular sentiments from year to year, decade to decade and century to century. I don't care which way the wind blows, I just look for opportunities in the hot air blowing in any direction.

I was pleased to see the Alaska Supreme Court decide that each legislation will decide the Permanent Fund Dividend payouts based on the merits of debate, every session, and alongside the comparative importance of each budgetary item hashed out with majority votes prevailing. I know K-12 education is expensive, as are hospitals, highways, ferries, troopers, prisons and universities. The huge expense we allocate for Public Assistance, Medicaid and Power Cost Equalization will forever be argued and scrutinized every year at the capitol in Juneau, with or without our personal opinion really being a significant factor. Social and health services are in the same category as Death and Taxes, necessary and a real fucking pain in the ass. And wallet. When Alaska runs out of oil revenue, all of the above government functions will come straight out of the Permanent Fund, and our pockets. Taxes suck and taste really poopy. Death merely smells like dirt. And moldy dicks.

I don't particularly like the PFD due the powerful magnetic attraction for poor inbreeds that come to Alaska, draw food stamps, free medical, free housing, energy assistance and heating assistance AND a PFD check. Here in the Kenai Borough I'm surrounded by illiterate new-comers with southern drawls, dirty clothes, poor breeding and zero education baby making piggy families demanding carte-blanche handouts without a day's work.

When I worked the welfare desk in Kotzebue, I received a phone call about once a week from out of state eligibility techs asking about our generous benefits packages. I explained that 21 of the 28 Alaskan boroughs were exempt from Clinton's deficit reduction act that limits access to public assistance to 5 years. These gals sounded so black, so excited and couldn't wait to advise their clients. Pretty words like benefits and clients sure as shit hide poverty's brutal ugliness. And smell.

As we drain down Prudhoe Bay, I recommend taking away the PFD check as a minimum income tax payment with a steeply rising progressive income tax. I also recommend a state-wide sales tax of 4%, so that added to most 6% village, city and borough sales taxes, we'll be at an even 10% that's easy to compute and still under Anchorage's 18% sales tax on hotels and car rentals. The killer prices you see online or in newsprint for hotel and car rentals ain't what the bill on yer credit card will show. If you haven't traveled to Los Anchorage in a while, get a pre-moistened baby-wipe ready, yer gonna shit.

I like both income and sales taxes due to the vast yields we could harvest from the out of state teachers, military, oil and fish industry workers and the sale of their supplies. I know, all Food Stamps purchases, AHFC housing rent vouchers, Medicaid services and subsidized heating and energy bills are non-taxable (not subject to sales taxes), so we HAVE to kype their PFD checks. Don't bogart that joint and doobie slobber is real gross. Pay up nigger-lip.

I like property taxes because they're actually quite fair. If I live in a mansion, I pay out the ass. If I live in a trailer in Palmer with Jake Rogers, I don't pay dick. If we institute an estate tax and deduct half off our ugly children's inheritance, most of us won't have a lot to lose to Juneau when we die, but in cases like my slave owner ancestry, estate taxes are a pretty sweet way to skim the cream off the top. I'll use the Usibelli Family Mansion on Talbot Road north of Edmonds, Washington to illustrate different governmental raids: income, sales and property taxes.

Old farts all die, shit, piss, choke and croak, then the kids gotta sell the castle and pay Uncle Sam half, why not skim the cream early with an income tax on Usibelli's coal miner millions and pay it to Alaska before they retired to my farm and trailer court hometown of Edmonds, Washington? Coal extracted from Healy, Alaska has created a multimillionaire family. When I was a kid, I remember watching limousines pull up to the covered drive-thru entryway at the Usibelli Mansion and disgorge fine ass folks dressed to the nines, greeted with trays of champagne and live music. These coal millionaires moved south to Washington State and watched us dirty farm kids drink beer, smoke bud and build bonfires on the beaches along the railroad tracks on Puget Sound. Alaska ought to get a piece of that action by taxing the Usibelli millions as income tax, not fattening Washington State's treasury with property taxes.

Ya see, majority rules, yet the majority can be cruel. When we vote, the candidate with the majority wins our respective precinct seat, then when bills are voted upon in Juneau, the majority of elected officials approve them, sending them to the governor for signature or veto. If an even larger majority (super majority) can vote against the governor, the bill becomes law. Veto overrides are a nice way to keep governors (and presidents) in line and prevents any wanna-be kings from turning Alaska and America into a monarchy. A sad reality has arisen in Alaska and across America, white power is diminishing. When minorities coalesce into a majority, us whining white folks get the dirty end of the stick. The stick that's pulled from our butts.

Take a look at some elections where blacks, browns, Asians and homos voted in a block: us old white farts lost the election. Our candidates are relegated to history's trash heap. Both Trump and Biden will be one-term presidents like Carter and Bush Sr. and all four presidents have become annoying gadflies and silly anachronisms. In 2016, a large swath of Democrats I befriended hated Hillary Clinton so fucking bad, they joined the middle masses and voted for Trump. In the last election, so many Republicans I've interviewed after the election were so sick of Trump, they swung in with the middle masses and voted for Biden.

When Democrats pitched in with Republicans, we elected Ronald Reagan, hence the term "Reagan Democrats." Jimmy Carter was so awful that his removal from office in 1980 was a forgone conclusion. Nobody claimed voter fraud: we knew he was a goner. In the 2000 election a lot of Democrats swung across the aisle and voted for George W. Bush because they universally hated Al Gore as much as Bill Clinton. I fatigued of lunatic fringe news broadcasters claiming Gore won and the vote was rigged towards Bush.

History may not repeat itself, "but it sure rhymes" (Mark Twain). An echo you'll still hear today is evidenced seeing hillbillies and inbred redneck white trash emblazon their trucks with banners claiming "Trump Won" and "Fuck Joe Biden." This will die down soon enough and the 2024 election will allow new younger talent with western secular (non-religious) values to arise to the top of the primaries and hopefully on election day, to the fore. American politics was never intended to be a bipolar 2-party battle with old white dust farting geezers occupying the white house. If the next batch of candidates are our age and old as dirt, we're fucked.

White Power has diminished over the last 50 years and this country has gone the way of the dirt worshipers and mud-heathens leaving us righteous white trash, ignorant Christians and dubiously true patriots the minority. The majority is now Godless dykes, lesbians, faggots, niggers, chinks, spics and fucking Indians. Instead of sending wetbacks back to Mexico, niggers back to fucking Africa and Indians back to China, all us good, honest, hard working white folks ought to head back to Europe and get busy eating fine white pussy. Oops, sorry. After you bury yer wives. Got mud?

If Alaska does hold a constitutional convention, we'll see attacks on our 2nd amendment rights, and some I agree with. I think mental retards shant own guns, I also don't want psychotics fuckheads owning guns. Adding to this list, I believe convicted felons (like Chip Hailstone), drunk drivers, domestic wife/child beaters and sexual predators should be banned from owning firearms. I know, that would force Lorin Downing, John Erlich and Dean Westlake to forfeit all their firearms, but I'm cool with that. Those girl punching pussies are such egregious child and wife rights violators, we ought not let them add firearms to their small penis bully tool belts. In the VPSO training program it was lectured that a drunk driver will drive plastered 86 times before he's arrested for DUI. A wife-beater will punch the shit out of his wife and children 46 times before an arrest will be made.

If you ask Rachel Downing, Kathy Ward or Gladys Kagoona's daughter Toni, they'll all read you the riot act how many times these little neutered buttfuckers (Downing and Westlake) beat the crap out them, and raped them and their children. Rachel Downing lit my fucking fuse when she told me and bun how Lorin beat her and her daughters till they needed diapers and tampons. Got blood? Dean Westlake is a real prize in that he was a cop most of his life, a rapist and a wife beater. His son Talon will testify all day long from his jail cell how Westlake came home drunk from work at KPD and fucked both him and Autumn, then beat hell outa Lenora, just to keep her jaw broken and quiet.

I still have some issues with Kim Nay beating the shit outa that young man at the gunpoint, just for fucking his wife. Vernetta is a totally fine babe, yet strayed, a lot. Trooper Nay was one of my best friends and supervisors, but his health was 40 years accelerated and Vernetta was so prime, vivacious and snack-worthy. Old man Nay just needed a couple Viagra to keep his stunning wife tuned up and glowing. Okay, maybe a couple thousand tabs of Viagra, Cialis and Enzyte male enhancements. What bothers me is that she never hit on me. I've been seduced by lots of cops' wives, yet only sacked one of 'em. Okay, maybe two.

John Erlich was a major alcoholic and wife beater, and his son and wife will vouch fer that action. In the world of 2nd amendment gun nut trash I inhabit, I assert that "a well regulated militia" means our local governments were intended to have all of our contact info such as name, address, phone numbers and a detailed list of resources we have on hand and in stock, in case militia members are needed and gun owners are called up for duty. Sadly, this list shouldn't include a lot of our friends and coworkers. KPD hired a lot of dysfunctional alcoholics, wife beaters, child molesters and rapists. Westlake impregnated a 12 year old and Augie Nelson Jr. got that 15 year old girl wasted drunk, then fucked her. Billy Byrd was a full blown drunk, and missed as much work as Edith Melton. At least Edith didn't get her stubby little fingers on firearms.

True patriots are sober and keep their dicks out of little boys and girls. If you armed motherfuckers followed the law to the letter, "the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Obviously this excludes drunk drivers, wife beaters, child rapists and mental retard psychos, like most of KPD. We suck. Oh, and I admit, I've stolen shitloads of firearms over the last 40 years, bought and sold stolen firearms, and traded plethora illegal drugs and alcohol for firearms. Needless to say, in view of my blatant honesty, guns shouldn't be in the hands of dirty dealing guys like me. Criminals habitually break the law. I can't help it, it's in my DNA. It's my nature.

The right to privacy is written in our constitution, but if dip wads and nut jobs post silly threats on their anti-social media accounts, red flag them and seize their guns. If some dildo rants about killing elected officials or good solid citizens of any color on his Facefuck, Twigger or What's Upp my butt web page, send AST to grab all their pipe bombs, sharp knives and firearms. They can play with cap guns and toy penises. And wear KPD police uniforms.

I've researched upcoming topics that will be added to the constitutional convention and you're gonna shit. Social Justice is a notion that we owe pallets of cubic dollars to various groups of loser races for wrongs committed by my ancestors. Fuck 'em. If the roles were reversed, they'd be slaving our Rosie smelling white asses all day and night and porking our kids, eventually browning America into poverty. Oops, I guess that's already happening.

The 1940 census has European descendants as the majority voters, but over the last 80 years, the rainbow of colored folks, combined with LBGT-Q-CM-DF motherfuckers, have grown to become the new majority. We are outnumbered. Oh, CM stands for child molesters and DF stands for dog fuckers. I couldn't find a demograph to place them, so I included them with butt-nibblers, butt-surfers, and knob chewing fecal freaks. With our state and federal constitution guaranteeing everybody the right to vote, including lesbians and men who spooge manholes, "the future's uncertain and end is always near" (Doors).

When I use the term "western civilization", I'm implying religious and racial tolerance, democratic debate and majority votes that are the economic and governmental machines that feed and clothe the remaining 6 billion humans pissing and shitting all over God's creation. For a brief period, America was a pretty good concept of tolerating and welcoming immigrants from all over the world, so far as becoming the most diverse country on the planet. All races of good, educated and skilled human fucking beings are represented in America and have enriched our Dow 30, NASDAQ 20, Russell 2000 and S&P 500 companies with unbeatable talent. As of these last centuries, we've ruled the air, land and sea. We also kick ass in the heavens above, and solar system.

Similar to Dominion Voter Machine Hacks and the poisonous COVD vaccines, right wing conspiracy nut-tards claim the Apollo Moon flights and moon landings were faked. I'll go one step further and stupidly claim they were actually designed and piloted by Afro and Mex mud-geniuses and Einstein was really from Africa. Sure, do you smell bullshit? Make me puke. The sheer talent that used to fight their way to America makes me beam with pride. We've now flooded our country with illiterate and ignorant masses, leaving our betters vastly outnumbered. I may have a decent education, but I'm not even in the ballpark, nor cheap seats of today's innovators. Sad to say, the future won't be radically changed by the likes of me. I aren't dumb, well maybe a little. I found my footing in Alaska, land of free, home of the blind.

Racial Equity is a weird claim that only includes niggers and natives. These campaigns are bogus because not one advocate will support amendments nor adjustments for the suffering the Irish and Chinese experienced as slaves building the Erie Canal and the railroads. Racial Equity excludes Jewish prison labor under the Third Reich nor Slavs worked to death throughout the Soviet Union. I suspect it's because they "ain't black enough" (President Joe Bidusky).

A common theme taught in basic economics is that even if we spread the world's wealth evenly, sharing with even the most retarded, illiterate, religious fanatics like Gayle Ralston, within 10 years the economy will return to what we enjoy today. Yes, I case hard on our coworkers. But why should we insult everybody else and not our own? Cops are grunts. Emergency workers and responders we may be, but there ain't an engineering degree or physicist among us. I got hired in the public safety sector because I'm a poor, stupid and smelly southerner. I'm the dumbest guy I know. Plus I got nice tooth.

Gender and Transgender Rights are a thorny issue to warp Alaska's Constitution and I'm not real sure how the wording would read. How do we add non-binary breeding rights to bully dykes that demand our dicks surgically attached under their tattooed titties, hairy bellies, atop their tooth lined vagina lips and loose nigger-lipped rectums? Put yer money maker to work and polish up what God gave ye, but "never a beggar nor borrower be," including other peoples' pussies and penises. After we die and deviant doctors attempt to attach our dicks to vicious dyke broads and biker bitches, I forecast organ rejection and our dicks will separate from fat tranny girls and leap into their honey buckets of poop or into the dark hole of their outhouse and join the bones of 3 dead niggers. To avoid AIDS it's best not to put it in boys, but I'd cry thinking Mr. Wobbly leaping to his death and dissolving in a poop bucket, cesspool, cistern or septic tank. Sad day indeed. Quit wretching, I just chuked up into the back of my mouth writing this shit.

Gay and Lesbian Rights are difficult to analyze and the recipe for mixing mature sperm with baby poop shouldn't be detailed in Alaska's new modern Constitution. This sector of homosexual humanity only comprises of 1-2% of the world's population. We have famous faggots in the entertainment industry and ugly lesbians that ain't finger licking good like KFC. I still remember when my younger brother told me Elton John was a poof and I laughed when Michael Jackson was busted for porking little white boys in the ass. Michael had to sell most of the library of music rights he'd purchased to settle multi-million dollar child sodomy claims, California court costs, penalties and massive legal fees. Maybe Jews like to pork their little boys. Barbara Streisand was angry that California prosecuted Michael Jackson for child sodomy, so she posted a Twitter statement declaring "It obviously didn't kill them. And probably thrilled them." Just think, Robert Redford French-kissed this frog-nosed imbecile on-camera and tongued her shitter off-stage.

Michael Jackson will go down in history as the nappy headed faggot that shopped at discount garment stores for little boys' pants: half off. The little tar baby was born a really cute black kid, yet died a really ugly white woman. Senator Trent Lott claimed "all niggers were faggots and all faggots were niggers", keeping the Jackson family in mind, I'd be hard pressed to disagree.

Gay men are so weird. When Barry Manilow came out of the closet, I got mad. Now I know where all my brooms disappeared to. Liberace was another talented piano player like Elton and Barry, and SO gay. It must come as a result of handling so much ivory. Wait, wasn't the Kotzebue Jail packed full of fudge packer ivory carvers? Hmmm. "Adii, Adunci put his cookoo in my unnuk!" (Annie Cyr 1994). Must be the ivory. Or shoving pacifier nucks up their rump. I'll have to channel bun's brother bobby or Annie Henry to inquire what Clifford Davis was thinking when he rear-mounted an old drunk native woman, maybe they'll know. Hell, with those ass-sucking anal credentials, give him a job working for John Ward, Mark Caruthers and Paul Iyatungak at the Kotzebue Jail. Or I could ask Chuck Criss. After they buried him, all the other skeletal NANA graveyard inhabitants ran like hell and burrowed under the Catholic Church in Kotzebue to join the mass grave party with your ancestors.

Okay, that reference is too vague and innocuous to leave unexplained. When the Catholic Church saw thousands of above ground native burials all over Canada and Alaska, they shit. So, they disassembled the framed stands and busted up the little graveyard dog houses, loaded up yer entire native ancestry and buried them in giant pits. Proper Christian burial: have bucket loader, just need a couple thousand Inuit corpses. On the city and village maps, the water and sewer engineers were forced to route their work around these mass graves, but some bones still get tractored up (Dermot Cole, Fairbanks Daily News Moron). NW Arctic, NSB and Camp-U-piaq are the perfect settings for Poltergeist appearances and haunted buildings, when you build upon Indian burial grounds.

Looking back, it appears that Inupiaq elders prefer their remains be left up on stilts, in small memorial lodges, or simply put out on the ice (Howard Rock 1969). Imagine the massive piles of garbage and crow bait elder bodies all over Kotzebue Sound's ice covering if we continued century's old habits of dumping corpses, trash, dead babies and unnuk buckets out on the ice in front of town. Break-up would be a real breath of fresh air, giant floating trash barge and eyesore conveyor belt. Wave bye-bye to grandma and yer grand babies and practice target shooting last-minute scavengers with yer rifle.

Grandma Magdelene told me a sad fact about infant mortality prior to new medicine, hospitals and human rights. Babies died so frequently, and in such huge piles, Eskimos withheld naming infants until after surviving to their 5th birthday. Shit-poor prenatal and postnatal care for Eskimo babies kept the garbage piles on the ice just off Front Street gigantic and full of morbid treasure. If you see any creepy white motherfuckers out their picking the bones and teeth fer gold and artifacts. Shoot 'em and leave 'em where they fall. Seafood and underwater nutrition is color blind: the more the better.

Hell, stomping, battering and shooting multicolored folks is a family tradition for me. I'd happily place bets on your accuracy just to see the Burnors, Meltons, Geffees, Onaliks, and Allens blasted to shit if you catch them while they "pukkuk fer treasures." When I recall my memories of local natives and whites out at the dump picking fer goodies, they'd be too proud to be seen out on the ice along Front street in front of God and everybody. Picking them off from sniper hides inside the old AC Marina and adding to the mountains of trash, feeding more ravens, seagulls, varmints and schools of fish sounds kind of cool. Fuck me in the goat ass, I've changed lot, right in front of you assholes. After almost 4 decades in rural Alaska, I doubt I'll ever be the same.

I believe the changes ain't all bad though. Look at what has Alaska given me.

Alaska hired me to process fish guts and crab slime in Dutch, Naknek and Cold Bay, mop puke in jails on the Seward and Baldwin peninsula, truck garbage to city dumps in NW Arctic and North Slope. I got strong hauling freight from airports to the stores (AC, Cape Smyth, Everts and Frontier), giving me legitimate cover to perform narc jobs for the cops. I work above board as an expediter, laborer and carpenter, following orders from you armed badgers.

I took no bread from the tables of others, nor no jobs or scholarships did I take from other 907 negroes. You boys know my tricks: while working clerical, freight and janitorial jobs, I joined you coppers and undertook narc jobs as side gigs. I even worked narc jobs at school following Trooper Nay's boy on a date rape drug roundup at UAF and bagged a bootlegging professor flying booze over the Brooks Range.

I need to give credit to the villages and cities that built Rec Centers for me to throw weights around, get strong, sauna my shit and interrogate elders that provide fertile manure for these postings. I'm real old now, built taller and stronger than the punks wheezing the weight machines next to me, but now I get to retell horrible stories of working with you cops and long dead native corpses. Get this. Some old white broads argue and dispute the veracity of my tales, then look over at bun. She'll nod and affirm the accuracy of my horrible puke-worthy stories working under all ye soon-to-be bone yard tenants. Our sufferings become pleasures in retelling.

I'm not originally from Alaska, but Alaska's Constitution loves me anyway. I was offered public sector jobs that provided me with excellent Blue Cross medical, dental and vision insurance and a retirement/healthcare package (PERS Tier I) that pumps mucho dollars into local stores, gas stations and native clinics statewide. Just think of the money Alaska has paid in my 40 years of medical treatments at the Alaska Native Medical Centers and hospital systems. Fuck, we're talking Manillaq, Samuel Simmonds, Norton Sound, Denaina Vagina and the Galena Herpes Clinic. Mind you, I ain't IHS welfare, but I've been treated for dog bites, detached retina, diabetic keto-acidosis, inflamed facial injuries, colonoscopy exams, X-rays and MRI's for broken vertebra and teeth, plus eye exams up the fucking ass looking for leakers and seepers. I've pumped so many blood and urine draws I could paint myself red and yellow, and all via native hospitals: paid for by my employers and Alaska's Public Retirement System. Beat that.

Alaska's Constitution has provided us with quite a phenomenal statewide college campus system. I'd say a few billion bucks have been spent on this behemoth and I really enjoyed my time there. I brag of my degrees paid for by Alaska. But keep in mind, my scholarships didn't come from monies intended solely for my native brethren. The financial contributions were entirely merit based and on-campus employment: tutoring at Rural Student Services, computer lab and travel overseas promoting international exchange. No educational scholarship subsidies were harvested from Alaska Native Corporations. All Alaska and Uncle Sam. I'm special. My welfare and public dole came in the form of scholarship, tuition waivers, hourly pay, travel and a brand new car.

Alaska's Constitution works hand in glove with our blessed Native Claims Act and through regional and local native corporations, I was given work and paid rents. KIC and NANA hired me for bit work on the Kikik Spit doing clerical, inventory and heavy grunt work moving Eskimo Building furniture and Pillituq boats, motors, sno-gos, oils and replacement parts.

The opportunities that paid the richest was brokering the sale of the Bush Pilot Bar and Grill and all the coffee and snack concessions throughout the Fairbanks International Airport for Professor David Porter. The buyer was the NANA Regional Corporation and the payout was a fixed 5% commission on $1.4 million giving me $70,000 for a quarter year's work.

Pimping my wife's native membership in the Point Hope Tikigaq clan by way of her father, uncles and aunts, I was able to negotiate with ASRC a handsome pair of rents for our duplex in Barrow: $4K a month for years. These rents and payouts allowed me and bun to travel 907 and visit Clam Gulch, Nome, Anchorage and Soldotna, eventually giving us a chance to see Patrick Octuck, Phillip Philimonoff and dozens of Eskimos before they put on sunglasses, ditched their crutches and heavy luggage and catch their flights out of rural Alaska, to destinations far beyond Hubble's Telescopic reach.

I haven't been completely honest with y'all about my illegal hunting. As described before, bun's uncle was Edward Itta, North Slope Mayor and captain of the family whaling crew. He'd call over when they got a strike and needed help pulling the whale up on the ice shelf or shoot polar bears wandering near the whale butcher site. The whaling captain kept all the polar bears I shot. Hell, dumb ass white guys are good for some things, but I usually stepped aside and let old ladies and kids do most of cutting and stacking. The community snow machined out there in herds to cut and haul away millions of tons of bloody globs. My share of bloody globs I'd trim up and send back to Kotzebue, Noatak and Selawik senior centers and native elder councils free of freight charges via Solveig Naylor and Alice Hopson at Cape Smythe. Those two angels kept me to a 2,000 pound limit, every year. Gratis.

I'd help with Arnie Brower Crew (ABC Whalers) and also Lloyd Peter and Mary Ann Simmonds' crew (Patkotak Whalers). My front yard was stacked with endangered whale meat, blubber and muktuk allowing me to ship Albert Monroe a shit pile at the behest of James Mason at the Arctic Sounder. Hence the origins of my phrase "pink and black whale candy" I was quoted in the ensuing article. Fuck dudes, I sent major tonnage to Elmer Goodwin at the NW Arctic School District and Bella Woods: just cuz bun suggested it. I don't fucking eat the shit. Writing this, my wrist sure fucking hurts. So does my back. Funny, me and bun lived in Barrow 15 years, much longer than I lived way south in Kotzebue.

My neighbor often phoned over and told me that he was gonna borrow an extra snow machine and wanted to take me polar bear hunting, if I paid him for gas, liquor and green bud. His name was Gerald Nayakik, but his nickname was Alaq, and after our hunts, he'd snag a couple jugs off of me. We bagged quite a few polar bears up the beach near the whale gut and bone dump, north of Browerville across from NARL (Naval Arctic Research Laboratory), the old military base that now houses the Ilisagvik College. Easy shooting and after hauling them back home on freight sleds, bun would ship the scraped hides to Shishmaref Tannery. I donated one hide to Rural Student Services at UAF, sold one to Professor Porter, sold one to an old BIA schoolmate of bun's that lived in Browerville and the other we sold to Ron Brower when he ran the Heritage Center.

You coppers are well aware of these exploits, but thinking of Alaska's Constitution, Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission and Native Rights, Land and Sea Mammal Harvest Legislation and local option liquor laws, its no surprise I got myself in trouble tip-toeing around all these disparate, racist and regionally specific regulations. I used bun as my cover in poaching polar bear, I used elder native kivgik, appuati and nulukatuk (traditional foods feasts) in Noatak, Selawik, Shungnak and even Kotzebue as a shield to butcher and stockpile tons of whale every year.

To supplement my crimes and bribes, and flying so much for Statewide Drug Enforcement I smuggled a shitload of LSD, liquor and marijuana to grease the skids on my illegal whale and polar bear harvests. I sent lots of contraband statewide with a clever insert of illegal drugs in frozen cultural foods other cultures would be terrified to eat and mortified how brutal traditional hunting methods were. Fuck it. Butchering goats, ducks, chickens, rabbits, caribou, moose, a million tons of salmon and crab (and three dead niggers) was good training for this retarded and vicious farm boy in cutting up big game like black whales and white bears.

Now, you explain to me how many rule books I've rolled up and smoked. Civil rights, firearms regulations, drug policy, local option alcohol initiatives, and Fish and Game rules. Fuck me. And we berate serial killers like the Butcher-Baker, Ted Bundy and that Ridgeway creep (Green River Killer) fer merely killing a couple hunnert human beings. Re-writing a new constitution or revising a new edition of Hoyle's Book of Rules won't insure Alaskans read it, understand it, nor follow it. I sure didn't and now you see an old man suffering compound guilt, decomposing his memoirs in an old folks' home.

Funny. Most days I feel pretty good about myself. It's only late at night when I awake from nightmares, that I get sick worrying, remembering and dwelling on the shit we done. I try not to think about the boys that died along the way, but their parents weigh heavy on me. Overdoses are self-explanatory, as are suicides.

Many years ago and latitudes south, I was awoken to an afro-dude climbing in my bedroom window, so I grabbed a baseball bat and gave him my best line drive swing: he just fell inside and on the floor dead. Dale Campbell wrestled and choked out his partner coming in the backdoor and Dennis simply shot black criminal #3 kicking in the front door. Okay, now what. I fucking wasn't gonna call the cops or ambulances, these niggers were just dead. Dennis and Dale were pretty upset at the scenario we faced, so we heatedly argued and decided the smartest plan would be to get rid of them.

Sure. We all think like a Hollywood movie, but ye can't leave dead robbers of the African persuasion lying around. Besides, all the dogs were spooked and trembling outside. Dennis suggested we load these floppy headed, loose necked dead niggers in the trunk of their own car and ditch the car. Dale suggested we dump them someplace, then ditch their car. My suggestion was dumber. I figured a 30 minute drive north to my grandparents wooded property up at 7-lakes near Marysville would be better staging area to plan the disposal of approximately 500 pounds of human bodies. We plopped the dudes in the trunk and with Dennis and Dale following me, we drove up north and after closing the gate, we pulled them out and dumped them in the bottom of the garbage fire pit. The sun was coming up, so Dennis ran down to the local fish and tackle store and grabbed food and couple cases of beer. This was gonna be a long day.

All three of us did some hefty chugs out of a bag of blow, smoked some serious crystal bud and started in on the beer. Our idea was originally to just bury these fuckers, but digging a whole fer 3 gang-bangers is nearly impossible, and since we already had a big fire pit filled with garbage, what the fuck. All three of us marched all over the 5-acre property dragging downed trees, branches and old logs to the fire pit and covered the 3 black musketeers, douched them with half the gasoline, stepped back and started burning. The remaining half of gasoline we originally intended for torching their Buick nigger-rig. But my thoughts were that a burnt out car looked kind of fishy. Genius ain't I? So we agreed that leaving that big old clunker parked somewhere was like hiding shit in plain sight.

We cut and dragged branches, dead trees and punk logs to the fire pit all fucking day and kept our funeral pyre hot a shit until dark the next evening. We're talking nuclear hot enough to melt mountains of garbage including beer bottles and cans and leaving us three white boys with red faces smeared with soot like crazy Indians on the war path.

I scavenged all the old gallons of paint and used motor oil my grandpa had stacked in his tool shed. I also gathered a half dozen old tires rotting away in the ditch, behind the tool shed and a couple soggy worn tires dumped in the woods we were dragging branches and stumps from. As we tossed branches and logs on the fire, we judiciously tossed in a tire or can of paint or oil, just to get our garbage fire pit super hot and forcing us to stand back to avoid the intense heat. We also downed refreshments. The bags of blow and green bud kept us working all damn day and the beer delicious and cold.

I ran the garden hose all over the trunk of their old Electra 225, then drove down the highway a short stretch to a cool look-out rest area, parked their car, tossed the keys off the bluff and hitched a ride back to my grandparents property with Dennis. That evening, after a whole day of burning and clearing brush and burning garbage, tires, paints and used motor oil, we crashed in the trailer and waited for the fire pit to burn down and see if we completed our mission.

We slept pretty well considering we were punk kids: scared, nervous and worried sick. The fire pit was cooled down enough to pull log ends out and sort out our ash pile. Yup, the remnants were just ash, burnt rusty metal, melted glass and a nightmare of ribs, legs and 3 fucking skulls. No soft tissue remained, the bones were completely burnt and crumbled when I stomped on them, so everything was easy to shovel into a wheelbarrow, but nowhere to dump all this ash, garbage and scary Halloween bones.

Dennis was the smartest and instead of digging another hole for our wheelbarrows of burnt trash, he suggested we simply drag the outhouse aside and dump everything down inside. The outhouse wouldn't budge without the help of a hefty rope and my old 66 Dodge Dart, but the hole was nasty, deep and sufficient to dump about 3 or 4 heaping wheelbarrows of burnt garbage and ash down inside.

After I raked out the entire fire pit for all the ashes, every bit of skeletal evidence, we hauled a couple tons of burnt ashes and metal shit, crushed skulls and bones and dumped them down in the shit. Then we scattered shovels of fresh dirt over the ashes and burnt metal, then dumped a couple bags of grandpa's garden steer manure and even more bags of his outhouse lime powder all over fucking everything. We hooked the old Dodge Dart up on the other side of the outhouse and pulled the blasted heavy motherfucker back over the shit hole.

I've since visited and partied at grandpa's 7-lakes property and felt real leary about that outhouse. Grass grew up all around it, my buddies and pals pissed a hunnert gallons of beer foam and shit layers of loose beer stools, eventually creating a nasty and repulsive ash, bones and burnt garbage camouflage. Their old Buick Electra 225 was likely towed and impounded and I've never seen another ghetto-mod nigger-rig like it since.

I've yet to even tell my best friends the guns I kyped off the dead niggers were sold into the druggy white crime network of Mountlake Terrace, Washington. Of course, after I oiled them and wiped 'em down so they look real perty. My grandparents' property has been sold and developed years ago and I believe I can confess my sins to a bunch of retired cops. I'm either quite clever, or as retarded as I fear.

See? After living on farms and drug houses in Washington, burning dead gang-bangers, butchering land and sea mammals in Alaska, growing old and dying is always easier when I put it all in perspective. After telling this tale to the Commander in 1996, Dave Craig understood, then said, "If you acted in self-defense and honestly believe you had no other choice, I wouldn't worry about it Karl."

David lectured to me that his church isn't in the practice of granting forgiveness, nor penance or contrition, and that we all are on our own with our relation with whatever creator you put faith in. Goddamned smart-ass Mormons. I wasn't fishing fer approval, but we all know it's good to get it whenever possible. "Hey Mr. X, the next time I ask you what's on yer mind, I'll know better and keep my mouth shut." Thanks a lot Dave.

"We'll just call these experiences training for duties yet to come in the service of our community." He offered the lame explanation that these accumulated nightmares are merely character building experiences. Old man Craig further offered a bit of shitty trivia about PTSD and its long-term effects on the function of the brain, our endocrine system and stress responses us fuckheads display for the remainder of our shitty existence here in rural Alaska. Like beaten children and battered women we carry to the ER, hand over to the drunk old bitch at DFYS or the Shelter at the FR Ferguson Building, our shadow is our only companion.

David thought for a moment, then explained that we have reasons for our industrial drug consumption and thirst for alcohol that's so great, it casts its own shadow. If not for his strict adherence to his church's dietary and health guidelines, he'd likely swim laps in Jameson's Irish Whiskey and be a complete soak like his parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents. Childhood alcoholic trauma is the reason David Craig was raised in an orphanage and can't remember what his parents and gramps even looked like. It's also the reason he ended up in Kotzebue working with you lot.

We'll all be fine, maybe, but the recipients of your rescues, emergency trauma services and medical transports are all in the same boat, alone, misunderstood, and unloved. Old man David Craig has passed away, as most of our coworkers. At least I got you guys.

In summation, I just gotta follow the doctors' orders, lift weights one hour a day, document my waking blood pressure and fasting blood sugar every morning, abstain from all alcohol and drugs and I'll stay out of the ER and ICU. Adii, listening to conservative talk radio will drive me to drink. So will listening to the nurse practitioners at Denaina Vagina Health Center. Adding to my monastic healthy boring fucking life, I gotta follow the rules and regulations that apply to each reservation, race, village, borough, and hunting season. And I'll stay out of jail.

Sure. I can't find David Craig anywhere around here at the rest home, but I might have some Irish Whiskey around.

Drink anyone?

Karl.

Old men and restored guns.

Top of the morning gents,

I sure enjoy chatting with older gentlemen. I try to get into the minds of old Vietnam Vets, and even real old Korean War vets. Some of my classmates served in Iraq, Afghanistan, Desert Storm and conflict theaters best described as off the books odd-jobs. I'm not diminishing our younger soldiers' stories over bourbon, beer, coffee and bong hits, I just don't have younger grunts, jar heads nor cannon fodder bullet dumps living close by.

Meaning living here in the Senior Centers popping up all over the Old Farts Borough (Kenai Crispy Biddies Peninsula). When you punks grow up you'll likely move down here and find "it's nice to be surrounded by a bunch of fucking fossils" (David Bowie). Another aspect of senior center living is no family can camp on yer sofa, so tell yer retarded nate-quart nigras that they gotta find their own lodging. Growing up is sweet punishment for kids that won't work, pay their own bills and insist on sucking on their dads' titties. As posted before, the stories I rewrite from my old fart comrades, evaporate into thin air as fast as my cellmates, hall mates and dorm mates become transparent, then fade away to non-existence. Like all of us, dirt is calling, these old fuckers are dying faster'n shit.

At the Sterling Senior Center, I moved in at the the minimum age of 55 to get my foot in the door, get adjusted to Boomer living and get an inside peek at independent living versus assisted living and rest home care. Don't ever listen to assholes and bitches that won't accept the fact that they are aging, farting dust and shooting blanks. We're all getting older at the same rate: one day at a time. It's what we achieve that counts, and then our seeds dry up and we die. I fucking hate vain cunt bait that think we can't see their dried up fly traps, sagging bellies and titties that scare children. I'm talking about both men and women.

Our ho from Idaho, divorced mother of gimplets and retards, Sara Palin will be 59 years old this summer and she's had all the treatments money can buy. She no longer has that cute/pretty look to her. Her battle with sag has given her fish lips and trout pout, goofy eyes and more make-up than a leaking old diesel engine: shit ain't working. Her true hair color would terrify the shit out of the witches still trying to pull out Octuck's IUD's. Some folks are cute when young, some are handsome when older. If I have to remind you of the Ugly Duckling tale, we're fucked and I bet on morons. Youth and beauty are often wasted upon the young, and handsome can last a lifetime, as long as you follow the doctors orders. I know, nobody wants to hear shit like that, especially our worm bait coworkers and corpse buddies.

I got crap for being too young to be allowed to live there, like buying beer in high school I had to produce fake ID to party with my geezer dudes and dudettes. Women live on average to 77 and men live to 72, but that demo-graph is heavily weighted with tobacco and alcohol consumers. Oh shit, we're fucked. Some of our coworkers won't make it more than a few more years. Maybe months.

I'll be turning 61 this summer and the years fly by just as fast as they do for you coppers. Hell, the seconds of a day tick by at the same speed as new-born babies, teenagers humping tampons and trainer bras and cranky menopausal women stuck in the dry vagina years 40+. If yer busy as shit, you don't have time to count the minutes that make up a lifetime. Time waits for no man. Or angry woman.

I've pissed off folks sharing stories from my great grandfather's generation. I watched jaws drop and frowns explode into rage recalling his tales of buying boatloads of children from the orphanages in the Pacific Northwest and shipping them to be sold at the Alaskan brothel towns of Ketchikan, Skagway and Nome. New dildo Alaskans scoff and deny my historical recitations how Wyatt Earp and Soapy Smith were the best customers and paid premium top dollar fer little girl and little boy pussy, liquor and dope. We're talking old stool version of sex, drugs and rock and roll: the young pussy and heroin are still viable markets in Alaska today, the music you'll hear on KOTZ or KBRW.

My gramps also told some knee slapping funny tales about slave auctions in Missouri and Cooley (Chinese) slave auctions in Washington, Oregon and California. Other tales induced the taste of bile when he'd chuckle and describe public hangings in Edmonds, Washington where niggers, gooks and Irish motherfuckers fleeing slave labor, or union activists, ended up dancing a jig at the end of a rope. The whole town turned out to party and crowds from surrounding counties assembled like spontaneous combustion flash mobs of stinky hillbillies. Public hangings were kick-ass carnivals with cotton candy and live bands rocked all over the lynching fairgrounds. I can see Van Halen or Led Zeppelin shredding their stages as trap doors were triggered. Grandpa told me that you didn't want a front row seat at lynchings cuz you'd get splashed with piss and shit, and occasionally puke from the audience. That's show biz right there.

Don't whine like a pussy, God loves a good Pacific Northwest hanging picnic. The origin of the phrase "shootin' the shit" evolved from the moment a person fell to the "end of his rope" and a violent gush of poop and pee blasted down a hanged man's pants and out his ankles and boots leaving shit on his heels. If you have a chance, fly to Ryiahd, Saudi Arabia and catch the show every Saturday evening. Yer guaranteed a roster of at least 50 public be-headings via broadsword with a poop, pee and blood fest that'd make any of yer menstruating grand-daughters proud. I laugh now, but I doubt I got the stomach to witness a stoning. That's real gross, seeing a promiscuous girl roped and bashed apart as the villagers hurl rocks at her. Too Christian for my tastes.

Here at the Senior Center, I was telling an old man about my grandfather, and he was mad at me for repeating such mean-spirited yet accurate old fart sentiments from Alaska and American history. Ya see, my gramps was the equivalent of a native elder. Or better yet, he was a meaner version of Archie Bunker and after Alaska's brief period of civility, we'll swing back to religious and political violence. We'll all have to be tougher and meaner to survive: much like our grandparents.

Despite his age and no education, he was smart, clever and lived to over a hundred years old. He could make money in this century and the previous century, albeit not in ways we'd view as kind or enlightened. In previous centuries, and centuries in the future our grandparents would thrive and succeed. Today we'd say and think our gramps and grams were ignorant and racist, but our grandparents would ignore the good in other colored motherfuckers and hold race and church as the gold standard in a person's virtue.

My mom was pissed off when gramps (her father-in-law) commented that Karl's wife was "a little dark." I thought his sentiment humorous, hell, after my doing so much laundry, dishes and vacuum cleaning, my wife thinks I'm too white. I can interface geological time context and understand how humans treated other heathen buttfuckers from other races. Just like your wives' gramps and grams. They fucking hated white people and thought them to be invading virus spreading shit-heels from outside.

I can't hop in a time machine and repair race relations between native dildos and white dipshits that are now long dead, mostly dirt and not around to argue the merits of their views. But I can read authors like Robert Penn Warren, and writers like Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain you clods). Powerful wordsmiths that used common yet foul language of their centuries to express uncommonly brilliant thought and insight. Their period word usage will echo for centuries after their deaths. That's fucking cool, whereas our life's work instantly becomes non-existent and good as gone the second we clock out, slip out of our uniforms and go 10-100 bone yard.

I used to spend a lot of time at the Kotzebue Rec Center lifting weights with a crew of older men: Carlos Salazar, Wilford Lane, Richard Erlich and Lynn Johnson. Those poor old men, I'd wear them down with persistent questions, then rewrite their responses decades later in my compositions. Like right now fuck-heads.

I was amazed with Carlos Salazar's tales from the mean streets of Los Angeles. What a fucking douche bag Methican. He ran with a pack of illegal wet-backs robbing good white folks who worked, saved and built houses. Mr. Salazar claimed he'd climb in windows, beat old women and yank their jewelry off, running to the nearest pawn shop or drug fronts, take the cash and buy china white, cartel powder and cheap liquor. Carlos admitted to waking up behind dumpsters, parking lots and frequently, jails. His Mexploits continued into Anchorage eventually landing him a long stretch behind bars. When he sobered up, washed up, scraped crust and served his time, he wanted to move out to rural Alaska, namely Spikiktagruk. Fucking great, there goes the neighborhood.

Mr. Salazar fancied himself a good candidate to apply for a job as a patrolman. Oops, felony convicts are like assault convicts, neither can work for public safety nor public health. Carlos was barred employment for cop-werk and also forbidden to work for Manillaq. With a complete pardon and commutation of all crimes committed while he was a stinky beaner, the governor granted Mr. Salazar the chance to pursue work at both the cop-shop and Manillaq. How pleasant.

Looking back, Carlos Salazar never repeated his crimes and did a pretty good job serving the NANA region, even so far as raising a family. Okay, an abbreviated family with psycho mex-upiaq girls that suffered immensely. Like genius, mental retardation may visit both father and children. Carlos Salazar had twin daughters, then a single daughter who bounced in and out of jail, finally moving to Anchorage. She battled legally prescribed drug abuse, eventually committing suicide by overdose with her baby clinging to her. No friends or family came to check on her and she passed away. So did her infant child. What a heartbreak to discover that pair of deaths. Mom dead from overdose and baby clinging to mommy dying of thirst and hunger. The demons haunting Mr. Salazar sure as shit launched into his little girl. In spades.

Wilford Lane was another of my Rec Ctr weight room and sauna mates. He would think about my questions, take a deep breath of scaulding hot sauna steam, then proceeded to tell me what it was like to be mixed breed round eye growing up in Point Hope surrounded by chink-nates that viewed themselves the true human beings. But not Chinese Mongoloids, that's not funny. Point Hope is the oldest inhabited town site on all of North America with origins estimated near 13,000 years ago. It's also the most traditional and backwards. Rampant sexual abuse, chronic domestic violence and blatant racism towards mixed breed children descending from Russian and European whalers, fur traders, seal hunters and walrus ivory harvesters.

Inupiaq Uchuk Attigignik means Eskimo pussy politics and Point Hope women are treated worse than a dog team. Its traditional to notch the nose of a permiscuous Eskimo woman to mark her, or simply tossing her out in subzero temps to freeze her solid like Solveig Naylor. Nothing like brutal traditional values to teach women their place in Inuit households. All of Bun's aunts and great-aunts fled Point Hope to escape the rapes, beatings and incest. Not one of them returned to experience again what they all confided in their stories they told me. I fucking listen to folks from all over the world, then post strident compositions that you coppers get sick reading. Missing a worldwide religious and educational rennaisance and industrial revolution: Inupiaq equals Taliban.

Because Wilford Lane was Eskimo and Russian, he took a ration of crap from his ice monkey village mates in Pt. Hope. He knew they'd eventually take him out hunting and come back alone, so Wilford accumulated a big pile of caribou and traded with Lester Gallahorn for a ride out of town all the way south to Camp Kikiktagruk and seasonal trading post. He was migrating to the promised island of misfits inhabited with mixed-breeds just like him. Kikiktagruk was the old name of a brutal village that was later named Kotzebue after the famous German playwright and rock star of his century. New name, same shit.

Many regions of Alaska were named after famous people who were loved by all of America at the time. Wade Hampton was a noteworthy figure the US Government bestowed his name upon the Bethel Region. Hampton was a hero from the Civil War, fighting with the Confederate South and 100's of years later he is denounced as a racist. Sheldon Point was another Civil War hero title, later changed to Nunum Iqua. Barrow was the family name of kick-ass English whaling captain, later named Utqiagvik, after a Presbyterian Church where children learned all about child molestation, rape and early burial. But shit, back then, niggers and children were tool animals to be harnessed and natives were scabby little stinky rodents and vermin, chased off or exterminated so as not get in the way of progress. Progress like mining, agriculture and the beef industry.

In Alaska, natives were sure the fuck in the way of oil and gold extraction and were handsomely bribed to book back to their own kind and keep to themselves. That plan didn't work. Native women were infatuated with taller white men with bigger dicks and our junk looked so huge in their little mouths, hands and cooters.

The newfangled Christian thing made white folks immune to stupid curses and silly hexes aimed at us by backwards tribal doctors with puny brown brains and puny brown dicks. I can just hear Manillaq telling y'all, "Fucking Eskimo retards, I told you so." "Next time you Nordic giants invade Alaska, butt-rape the tribal doctors first. They fucking deserve it." "Shit, banishment for my genius. I hope my fortune telling came true and y'all breed our women taller and smarter."

Hard to believe old Manillaq is batting 100. Tall white men overwhelmed the aboriginal dwarf-pukes, Nome became Alaska's largest city (40,000 by 1900), we walked on the moon and Ambler holds the world's biggest gold seam. I fucking love this guy. Piss on stupid Inuit voodoo bullshit, I'd like to shake his hand, except Manillaq is now Nuvruk cannibal stool pie.

Wilford Lane knew opportunity only knocked once, booked Point Hopeless, landed Nigruk, and jumped at all the BIA training he could get. He attended Voc-Tec for Electrical and Construction, then went on for training as a Heavy Equipment Operator. He knew old man Art Fields, so joined him and worked the gold deposits in Candle and the North side of the Seward Peninsula.

Speaking of tribal elders, Roy Fields was the son of Art Fields, and would always compliment these articles with a smile and a chuckle telling me, "Karl, I sure enjoy your postings. You don't bullshit and sure tell it like it is." Ya see, Roy Fields was a tall good looking dude and a real chick magnet, drawing the affection of my wife. I'm cool with that, she got good taste. If I could dance half as good as Mr. Fields, all yer kids would look Finnish, instead of retarded. The battlefield in Alaska is racial, cultural and genetic, with all the fighting happening inside native pussy and our sperm are the soldiers. Fuck rifles, I got a fine handsome penis. Soldiers march!

Speaking of my wife again, I treat her like I own her. Lots of expensive jewelry, clothing and frequent washings. If I could, I'd hold her hand and walk her through the car wash. That's why God invented FInns like me, so we could wash all them Eskimos of the most ugly things clinging to them: their own brothers and funny uncles. I also treat her like all my guns I've restored and sold. Scrub off the black parts and polish the wood toned parts: WD-40, toothbrushes and cloth. Makes a fine firearm and finer Eskimo wife.

On the last big dental mish, I layed out pert near $14K (after insurance and IHS) out of pocket from the money I inherited from my grandfather. Money from the same grandfather that sold laudanum, liquor, slaves and child prostitutes to Alaskan mining and brothel towns. Ironic that it ended up back in the expensive caps, crowns, laminates and veneers my wife blinds us with when she smiles and laughs. Just like her daughter Sara. I take Eskimo girls needing Hollywood cosmetic dental work, and finance major smile overhauls. I must be retarded, I set the slaves on cruise-control, and take my girls to fucking dental and hair appointments.

Back to Kotzebue, Lynn Johnson attended our early morning appointments at the Rec Ctr. Him and Erlich would open the doors for the rest of us, then book over to the racquetball courts and whale the shit outa each other. I had a hard time understanding Mr. Johnson. He didn't smile much, didn't laugh much, so my shitty KPD and VPSO humor fell flat its face.

After workout, Lynn Johnson approached me and asked about the old M1 Carbine I had for sale on the radio. He wanted to look at it to make sure it was military spec, with all the right stamps and dorky wood stock and butt. I showed it to him, he liked it and offered me a price about $50 below my ask. I sold it to him with the hope of greasing future biz. Mr. Johnson was restoring an old Jeep in his garage and needed an accurate M1 Carbine for the officer's boot mounted along the side fender. Describing his Jeep project, the gun boot and its new contents, he smiled slightly. Fuck yeah, he totally dug it.

One morning a few months after we did this trade, he told me he was buying a batch of used, returned and restored Glock 9mm pistols that all the police departments were dumping for the larger caliber/smaller capacity Glock pistols like the 40 cal, 45's and 10mm. I told Lynn that I'd be a player for a few at the right price, so he said $200 each, if I bought 6 of 'em. I smiled at him and told him "hook a nigger up." He ordered the batch, keeping a couple for himself, other pals that wanted dibs and I bought the 6. When I brought my WHOLE fucking paycheck and scrap dineros from home to him, he adjusted his price down to a grand for all 6 of 'em. Damn cool.

I sold one of 'em to Blanchard, 2 to the gooks, sent one to my dad and kept 2 on hand for trades and barters. Joe Garoutte eventually snagged one in trade, demanding just one Glock insisting I add an old Browning Hi-Power NAZI German issue pistol I bought from Neal Sager. Joe was trading me a Ruger Mini 14 and Ruger Mini 30: both all maxed out and militarized to beat shit.

I sold the Ruger Mini 14 to Gumby and the Ruger Mini 30 I gave to Pete Lambert in trade for a bunch of electrical work on house #369 on 2nd avenue. Lambert hooked up the power line from the pole and installed a meter with a cluster of outlets on the inside for my saws and shit. I also threw in some curiously strong LSD and Everclear to reach the $1100.00 tab I owed him.

Billy Lee was there when I presented the Mini 30 to Pete and he fucking went ballistic drooling on the rifle. He told Pete to shut the fuck up and take the trade, holding the Ruger like a new born baby: grinning and cheesing, happy shit.

Sol Scott had a marker that I owed him for cab fare all over fucking hell. Probably a little over a couple hundo, so I took a 30.06 rifle and unscrewed all the wood off it, scrubbed the metal down, carefully painted on blueing to bring back that kick ass new gun look. I did the sanding and varnish on the woods, then assembled the whole rifle, clicked on a strap and stowed it in a new plastic gun box I used for air travel.

I grabbed Dopey the doberman and booked over to Sol's and knocked on the door. When he opened the door, I apologized for being slow paying my cab fare bills I charged, then told him I had a treasure for him, if he was interested. He smiled and asked what I had in mind, so I went inside, set the new gun tote on his dining table and opened the lid showing him the rifle. You never knew that old man could smile so fucking big. Mr. Scott picked up the rifle, examined my restoration work, then reached across and shook my hand. One happy old subsistence hunter with dreams of blasting caribou to Kingdom Come.

I still had a bill across town to pay. I owed a little over a hunnert dollars to old man Charlie Reich for a bill I needed paying to Midnight Sun Cabs, so I went home and did the same cleaning and varnishing to a fine dandy 243 bolt action rifle. When the bluing and varnish were looking spiffy, I assembled it, hooked on a strap and fetched another plastic air travel gun tote. I put the rifle inside and added a couple boxes of shiny brass cartridges, making the package look like a hunting trip all in one fucking unit.

Old man Charlie Reich was home having coffee and cigarettes when I knocked on the door. I announced that I owed his cab company a few dineros and inquired if I could settle the tab with a nice looking treasure. He smiled even bigger than Sol Scott, invited me in for coffee and a smoke, then stated he was curious what I had in the gun case. I told him that I don't do any seal hunting, so I never had a use for a mid-size high velocity rifle. I opened the gun box and handed the rifle to Charlie, whereupon he chuckled and looked over the gun with shiny eyes and shit eating grin. He threw the bolt, looked at the bright workmanship, looked at the 2 boxes of ammo and did the same thing as Sol, he just shook my hand right there on the spot.

It must be an old Eskimo tradition to seal the deal when buying nigger shooters, no do-overs, no Indian givers. Also like Sol, his hands were gnarled, knobby and callused like a horses hoof. Charlie thanked me profusely and told me the 243 (24 caliber) bullet with a big ass cartridge packed full of powder was a real flat shooter and he used to have rifle just like it years ago. Charlie looked like he was ready to go seal hunting and blow the bleeding snot outa sea mammals right fucking now!

You boys are likely smiling just like these old shooters. After my long haul contract with Mat-Su Narcs, I returned home to Kotzebue and set up the Arctic Sounder upstairs at KOTZ 720 AM. After I got all the filing cabinets, desks and chairs hauled in and plugged in the Apple Macs, modems and printers, I insisted that Len Anderson fill the ashtrays and empty the liquor bottles I stashed in the lower drawers. He liked the idea of typing and posting his articles right in the same building as the radio station. He also liked the Jim Beam half gallons I stowed: good bourbon to wash down his pipe tobacco.

His wife Ningie (Doris) ran a tight ship and kept the place organized and sure enjoyed sorting local news and events for publication in the paper. In fact, she was the best in town to know what was important and interesting to elder and middle aged Eskimo citizens of Tagrukville. We all know when It's time to get the fuck out of the way and let yer betters run with it. Len and Ningie became a husband and wife journalism and drinking team, with the Arctic Sounder mere steps away from the desks they worked from at KOTZ radio.

I didn't need to hang around the Arctic Sounder or KOTZ radio any longer. With Ningie and Len Anderson ruling the roost, Bud Dial coerced me into covering the vacant VPSO posts both upriver, downriver and the Candle, Buckland and Deering slots. I rotated throughout Spring, Summer and Fall, when Chief Nolton recommended I apply at KPD and increase my wage from $9.78 an hour to $16.00. With Blue Cross/Blue Shield and PERS added in, I jumped from the brown shirts to the blue.

I always gave gifts to my bosses. Some supervisors get cigars, jars of codeine pills for hangovers or sore backs, and liquor. Even at UAF and overseas I dumped goodies on my benefactors and supervisors as appreciation for hiring a special needs Finn. Okay, retarded, actually. It's funny thinking that I almost never had a lapse in employment: from KPD to Narc werk in OTZ, narc werk in Mat-Su, then VPSO in greater NANA, then back to KPD with a long stretch of contact odd jobs in Fairbanks, Barrow and overseas. Oh, I also got to sit in jail for most of a year just to improve my Russian, lose a hunnert pounds and tenderize my dumb ass.

One boss I sure got support from was Victor Karmun. He trained me at KIC Lumber and Hardware, covering the NW MotorSports counter when that cripple Ferguson boy or Frank Tippleman Jr. was out sick, on break or off duty. When the Palmer Courthouse requested my appearance, I told Mr. Karmun about my previous job. He sure grinned and told me that he'd heard of the bootleg bust in Kotzebue and the whispered stories yonder Wasilla, Willow and Talkeetna. I filled him in all my scores and told him that I'd have to fly out for court and he just chuckled and said, "You bet, no problem."

He even added encouragement and told me to "Give 'em hell." So on my return trips, I always remembered to bring him his favorite distillates, vints and varietals. Code words for drinky poo. Ya see, I never knew old man Victor Karmun was NAVY all the way to retirement. He explained that when he was a much younger man, the service called him, and he went. When I asked him where he served, he just said, "Conflict regions all over. Same shit, different day." Boy do we know that duty roster. The man has scars that'll never heal, but he sure grinned when I handed him his taped and sealed boxes upon my returns from Valley Trashville. Mr. Karmun would weigh the box in his hand and state, "This feels like a good one. Thanks buddy!"

I could never get close to Judge Erlich, but I showed great deference and respect when I escorted inmates into his court. When Mr. Erlich ordered me to take off all the cuffs, get water or coffee, I fucking jumped and served the inmates as per King Richard's orders. If he needed papers from the filing cabinets or copies made from the front desk, I booked like a fresh Marine recruit. Erlich don't fuck around, so I didn't either. Even if he wasn't running court and I was in the jury pool, he'd phone in, or walk in and whisper to the presiding judge, who would then order me to leave the court. I tried to serve as a juror in Palmer, Kotzebue, Kenai and Barrow and the results were the same, "Mr. Ewing, you're excused." What the fuck?

When Erlich was a public defender or private attorney visiting the old and new jail, I'd set up an ashtray, a lighter and numerous packs of cigarettes, informing him that some high grade coffee was brewing. That old man could smoke a pile of cigarettes and a hunnert pots of coffee while interviewing inmates all damn day. He'd go so far as to ask me to go to Hanson's and grab a box of donuts for him. Kathy would look at me and order me to get my butt in gear and do as he asked.

Years later I ran into him at the Anchorage Airport. I was enroute to Europe for the International Student Program, so I'd be suited and jacketed up. Mr. Erlich asked how my studies were going and where I was heading on that particular day. I told him of the job, the travels and my career thoughts. He'd smile and inform me that I was better suited to be a military advisor, attache or a General's Steward. He enjoyed sending me all over his court and the cigarette and good coffee service I provided in the jail was a real treat. He chuckled and asked who paid for all these "unsolicited gifts." So I told him. I said my bosses did.

When you make your bosses look good, we all look pretty fucking good. I don't mind spreading money, cigarettes, cigars, liquor nor top shelf coffee around if it helps my employers tolerate my mental retardation, forked tongue and Torette's disorderly shitty humor. Judge Erlich told me to let the Chiefs Of Police know that he really appreciated the service, so I'm doing that now. Thank you for letting me be of service.

I have yet to tell you coppers how much I dropped on my bosses in Barrow and my UAF professors for scholarships and travel expenses, but fucking A, I must've dropped a hunnert Alaskan dimes (C-notes) looking after all these men.

As you've already surmised, I spoil elderly gents I worked for, did business with, and the men I served with.

That means you guys.

Karl.

Soul mates and seasonal cycles.

Top of the morning gents,

Years ago, I was telling a friend of mine that I was heading back up to Alaska. He was a childhood pal from elementary school and wondered why I never stayed in one place fer long, especially in my hometown. A hometown where I was surrounded by good ol' boys that understood selling drugs to black, red and white trash. Life is good, when you got a herd of dirty white boys that only ask fer one thing, a place to gather and bullshit about guns and drugs. Bikers hang out at a clubhouse, cowboys converge at a bar, but us white boys meet at drug houses titled stupid like Lem's Mortuary and Crack house. The addresses change, but Lem's continues decades unwritten on non-existent shingles.

All I ask of a bar is that it be open, but drug houses are where we happily darken the porch and rejoice as our shadows cross the welcome mat. A safe haven to meet and pick up contraband weight, create new disturbing images fatal and horrific echoes repainting our failing vision and hearing. It's no different than you and I lugging old June Nelson from her leaking deathbed to a stretcher, then out the front door to the meat wagon, so Trox could drive her to the dump. Cause of death, drug overdose, welcome to Lem's.

Like Alaskans, I celebrate sickness and death. In the case of June Nelson and naming an elementary school after we fetched her from Lem's Mortuary and Crack house is something only I would do. I also named a kids' baseball field after a chronic inebriate and coke fiend, my good drinking and drugging pal, Bull Hensley. Alaskans know that the only time we suffer hangovers, is if we sober up. Similarly, old cops won't experience PTSD if y'all repeat unspeakable deeds and soil the same shovels.

How many corpses will we lug. Guilt and neurosis are components of the collective psychological ailments plaguing us. At Lem's I provided cases of syringes with the cocaine I sold. One of my friends Gary Los popped in, dropped some money, then retreated to the back room to spoon up and shoot up. Pim and I swapped and traded bindles and pistols, smoked a few bowls and downed a butt-load of beers. When it was time for Pim to book, he yelled for Gary. No Gary. He'd croaked.

I yelled at Pim that this wasn't gonna look good if the cops found all these drug packs and paraphernalia in a house decorated with deceased Gary Los. We carried Gary out and loaded him into the backseat of Pim's car and drove him to his dad's house, layed him on the sofa downstairs. I'd emptied him of his drugs and spoon and needle rigs, covered him with a blanket, closed his eyes and booked. Thinking of his dad waking his dead son evokes guilt and shame that still bothers me today. I may delete this paragraph if I can't settle my awful feelings. You boys likely have cried every last tear with similar stories.

My workplaces and workmates rotate in cycles, drugs, guns and old friends in and out of uniform, riding together just like old times. I been here before, nothing has changed. Back in Seattle, my buddies were scheming a reunion with industrial volumes of keg beer, blocks of blow and bales of bud. We only needed to work around jail and hospital schedules, and dates of release. The idea that a whole pack of grown men wanted to recreate "the house that coke built" sure brought that warm feeling glowing inside me. I couldn't ignore that nagging fear and trepidation the Seattle Syndrome handed me. Including Gary Los's overdose and death, Keely Jones blew his brains out in my front yard, I think I see a fucking pattern. When nobody was looking, I begged, "Somebody else is gonna die, get me outa here." In Alaska, I'm cutting down suicide hangers and lugging gun eaters with Mashburn, Ramoth and Moto, not hauling away byproducts of my own source of income.

I never told my drug buddies of my work with you coppers on a shit load of narc jobs all over fucking Alaska. I also never told them that I was just released from jail and the spook was still in me. Some hitches in the hoosegow are tolerable, some not so much. Most jails we fear the guards, some jails we fear the inmates, but the fear of my improbable recovery was troubling. The healing ribs and vertebra are inevitable with my careers and only focused my hindsight. We know the precise moment we shoulda dusted off our noses, folded up our dicks, spit out chewy pubic bits and lept. Without a parachute nor luggage.

When you feel yer gliding home on greased rails, and know the destination includes bullets, bruises, and funerals: jump. I learned that despite my successes working with you coppers, it wouldn't continue hanging with older, wiser and meaner crooks. Listen to me, home is shit, and returning only reminds you boys that regardless of the heartbreak and weeping you suffer on this long trail all over fucking Alaska, back home, we're losers at the top of our game. Seeing so many friends and clients croaking around us, we got lucky and our score is minus zero.

Words have meanings and as an adult we dilute their impacts. Home is a famiIiar blend of drug habits, beatings, bones and teeth shattered. Like a lot of our village neighbors and rural friends, we hold fond memories of our homes and childhoods, with a full array of pleasant rewrites, modifications and revisions. These memory improvements make our adult life so much easier, until we go back, enter our old homes, and suffer a whiff of our siblings and parents. Odors trigger panic and in Alaska, and since we're all Ballot clan members from Selawik, we pop the cherries on all our sisters. All our brothers too. We never forget the smell of our first sexual experience, even in an outhouse or behind the woodpile.

I'm comfortable looking for lost girlfriends in emergency rooms and rape-relief clinics. It's like good fitting gloves, holsters and Sorel boots that hiked the shit outa south tent city and the old barge where Kelly McConnell (Netti Smith and Bill McConnell's boy) hanged himself. He didn't die, just crippled and hobbling all over Pike Place Market. Me and bun found him at the Gospel Mission 6 blocks north, told him NANA had checks awaiting him, but he was afraid of us and said, "I don't wanna go home to Kotzebue." Seattle welcomes lost and broken souls like Cripple McConnell. Seattle sure welcomed me back, I was smiling, shining, buzzing and things were looking up. Such a pretty city on Puget Sound, but I was hell-bound like Kelly and couldn't flee.

I finished my construction work on my folks' mud farm, avoided my pals and looked for a positive sign. Good news for bad people is like a curve ball, we're facing the wrong direction and its got a lot of English. Encouraging updates are disorienting but I got an email stating that I'd gotten a job in Galena as the City Finance Director. Keeping secret, I booked back up north. At the Anchorage Airport I was surprised at seeing my old boss and he asked what I was doing back in Alaska, so I shared my tales from Russia to Seattle with Kotzebue City Manager Frank McCafferty. He seemed saddened, then replied, "For us boarding school Induns, it sure as hell isn't good to be heading back to the reservation", "One big difference Karl, you're heading away from home." "I'm heading back to Kotzebue and my stress level is off the charts."

Mr. McCafferty told me that untold thousands of native boarding school students are horrified at how small, smelly, dirty and appalling their villages and homes appear once they've stepped off the plane and looked upon the place they've been away from. When I again see my family, friends and home turf, I fucking gag. This place of illiterate stinky people isn't what I've savored and held so close to my heart. We're our own worst enemy and got nobody to blame, it's nobody's fault but ours. I'm like Ann Short, a battered woman hooking back up with another drunken wife-beater just released from jail: Clifford (Bum) Short. I missed my own mistreatment.

My applying for work back in Alaska was a long shot and a prayer. The job was based on the predication that I'd work to keep the Air Force Base in Galena, land a fat grant for public/fire safety training and equipment, sweep the path for a giant boarding school, and update all the ancient paper files and junk computers. Prayers have double edged consequences. We may get what we pray for, but when you see me getting off the plane, yer fucked.

When I'm not writing, I can bullshit with the best of them. I'm a life-long liar and don't ever play poker with me. I've told grown women "chugging down sperm will give you bigger boobs." Or "I promise I won't come in your mouth." This time, my boss, City Manager Marvin Yoder was gonna have bigger boobs and burp up sperm with his acid re-flux heartburn. Come to think of it, the city council white trash old men got big ol' double D's and a tummy full of ball cheese. Wishing for a rainmaker is folly and expecting any level of care from me is a fool's errand.

I worked on the old file cabinet paperwork, computer upgrades and did the follow-through grant proposals with the state offices in Anchorage providing the extra information via personal interviews and did a tool-count inventory of Galena's ambulances, firetrucks and patrol vehicles. Pretty skimpy batch of fire and public safety equipment, but better than other micro-primate villages we've suffered.

The fire/safety grant was for only one off-the-road-system village and Galena was in competition with numerous other mud-midget grovels of similar remoteness. My boss Marvin Yoder believed this grant was a way for his village, Galena, to float through a dry spell best described as bankruptcy. We were hoping to fatten up our accounts, pay off some angry construction companies that had built a new city hall and a new swimming pool. Companies that had done the work on a promise to pay with future revenues fat and shiny. A promise that was vaporous as a popcorn fart in a hurricane and silly as waiting for a biker to pull his dick outa yer ass, then asking for Vaseline after the fucking.

These small firms did a shit load of work, materials and transport to site, and with little or nothing up front. Then Galena went broke. Meaning the dreams of holding regional swim meets, boarding schools and a flight/ground school program never really materialized and the Air Force Base pulled up tents and tarps, and headed east. There I was, stuck playing tiddly winks with Roger Dube, his ruski runt whiff and a bunch of Injuns. Make me puke.

Three things went to shit in a brief period: the swimming pool wasn't the right measurements to meet swimming specs needed for the Alaska Student Swimming Association's compliance requirements. The width wasn't right and length of the pool was too short. The boarding school grants were awarded to another education entity in another state, the fire/public safety grant went to another vil and the fucking Air Force left town in a fucking hurry. To visualize the Air Force's speedy exit, you may recall Tommy Sharp (fart hammer), Ray Meyers (no-teefer wigger) and Mike Spisak (Ram Air crack-baby) scared shitless booking to Alaska Airlines. Yup, the Air Force ditched Galena faster'n Kotzebue's cocaine cowboys fleeing Tony Richardson's arrest and investigation, running scared pushing in Teflon suppositories and pulling up Kevlar diapers.

Tommy Sharp was the first to book. He borrowed money from everybody he could: the Capones and a friend of mine, Todd Armstrong, then fled town dumping his girlfriend: loose stool anal pump Ramona Nichols. Ray Meyers abandoned his airplane out at the gravel runway and ditched his cross-eyed dim-bulb girlfriend owing rents, bills and big dollar drug fronts. Spisak had a date with the IRS in Fairbanks, and a 9 year stretch in the Federal Pen. Whenever a defunct Air Force Base promises not to fold up and book, just take a look at Kotzebue. When all was said and done, we got a bigger city dump. "Monkeys always look. Psyche" (Robert Evak 1988).

The Galena swimming pool project was a fiasco that left me dumbfounded. Being a swimmer for most of my life, I don't know how cement and fixtures were assembled and poured without proper oversight. My guess? Village assholes with money and refusing to listen to the requirements of the swim association dudes. The pool was still an excellent resource for water safety programs and a good preventative idea behind the astronomical drowning rates of First Alaskans, but not worthy of reimbursement from the state.

The boarding school fiasco and failure was blamed on white teachers and fat administrators that took work with the competing teaching organization and left the Galena City Schools with only regular local educational duties. Dreams of recreating the old system of boarding schools long gone. Alaska has long feared and experienced declining student enrollment so setting up a giant regional boarding school was the notion panacea. If Galena could poach students away from barely viable village schools all over rural Alaska suffering insufficient enrollment, a boarding school could harvest big buxsh from the JewNo budgetary Base Student Allocation. "Too bad, so sad" (Clyde Shagloak 1990).

Up until the 1970's, all the villages in Alaska sent their children to Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) facilities that provided transportation, instruction, housing, better nutrition, new glasses, medical and dental care and even new clothing. It was an old study at BIA schools that determined poor eyesight and damaged hearing in Native Americans resulted in stereo-typically poor school results. Besides, without BIA boarding schools, natives across America would have to wait until we voted Nixon into the White House and comprehensive IHS health care would be available. The federal schools were noteworthy and legendary for excellent environments for native students badly needing a setting resembling a university campus and private school academies.

A few examples that were lauded as top shelf were Chemowa, Haskell, Chilocco. If you ask your in-laws and parents, they'll smile and tell ye of wonderful friendships and native networks they enjoy to this day. Plus, BIA boarding school children returned home WAY taller. Loads of fresh dairy, produce and high-grade meats are non-existent in rural native village diets, historically, and even today. Any BIA boarding school student escaping the villages from more beatings and rapes, returned way taller than the retarded local yocals that stayed behind. "Nigger is as a nigger does. Right Cory?" (Willie Hailstone 1990).

Look at the shit our locally schooled children eat. Porky Pig sent a memo: village children are so fucking fat, he wouldn't even touch them with YOUR dick. Our children look more like Gumby than us stupid parents. Back in the BIA boarding school days, our locally schooled chimplets seemed so short and fat: more like north Koreans than tall BIA schooled (freshly cleaned and dressed) students. One common insult returning boarding school students sufferd from locally schooled mongoloids was "Try be white." White's alright, if you sound less retarded. Rachel Craig declared that if a native speaks poorly in English, he speaks poorly in Inupiaq. "Does anybody understand the words that are coming outa my mouth?" (Chris Tucker-Shanghai Nights) Dig me?

You oughta see the Alaska Federation of Natives convention back when it wasn't a politically correct Broke Back Gay-tive fuck-fest. I advised Bun to put on her water-proof make-up, cuz she was going solo and that I'd hang back and watch her hug, laugh and cry with her classmates from the old BIA school systems. You'd get pretty choked up and well watered eyes just seeing elder Alaska Natives light up and go crazy recognizing Bun and her sober recollections of their wonderful times at out of state campuses. Ya see, the best part of AFN is all the chatter, cackling and hub-bub out in the lobby, not those moron delegates harping poverty, abuse, and traditional neglect. Ye can't fix stupid, and stupid is forever. At least 10,000 years.

BIA campuses enforced safety from cultural archetypes like wife beating, incest and child sexual abuse haunting native communities and reservations for fucking centuries (Reggie Joule UAF 1995). As with all things native, stories end with a good cry and Bun's girlfriends remember awaiting planes back home for summer break, nervously smoking and sobbing at the prospect of the abuses still occurring in their homes and villages back home. Home is a native village comfortable, familiar, deadly, smelly, small and dirty. The most valuable lesson boarding school student can ever learn: there ain't no homecoming and all seasons of village life end in decay and death.

Contrary to stupid claims from bigoted old fart native men, the feds did a really good job of providing safe-havens for Alaska's and America's native students: with a huge priority for female native student safety. The tales of 1 bad apple from the religious schools will never equal the 99 other wonderful success stories natives experienced on BIA campuses across the country. NW Arctic mayor Chuck Greene, a confederate of mine and higher education advocate lectured me that boarding school students often left Alaska for more rewarding careers but those that graduated and returned to the vil were hoisted to leadership positions in their respective native corporations and local and state governments.

Mr. Greene also explained that schooling outside yer home village and home state expanded a native kid's horizons, awareness and provided boarding school students a second outsider view of rural Alaska. In a moment of candor, Chuck stated that Alaska Natives that don't travel outside for their education are simple, superstitious, ignorant racists. Seeing my work history working fer cops all over Alaska, Chuck Greene encouraged me to follow up on my education insofar as to write solid recommendations for my scholarships and was guest speaker at my graduation.

Ya see, there were three different systems, the church schools/orphanges like White Mountain, the inept state boarding schools such as Nome Beltz and the nationwide federal Indian schools. The federal system was an escape from abject poverty, cultural sexual abuse and tribal values of domestic violence that still plague our church based religious and in-state schools here in Alaska. The only years bun was safe from institutional and cultural mistreatment of native girls was the years she attended the BIA structured, safe and insulated academies. "Fuck Brian, if yer bitch wife looks and sounds dumber'n a stump (Blanch Jones-BJ Criss/Higman), you been porking a locally schooled salmon cruncher" (Dan Newberry 1989).

The state schools could never send a native child home for engaging in pre-adolescent sexuality, alcoholism, bullying and fighting, but the BIA sent a lot of permiscuous drunk midgets back home. Just ask Herman Reich and his wife Della. They were fucking like white rabbits, got pregnant and sent home. Betty Sage, Skeeter Jepson, Bertha Karmun (Helen's mom) and her pals were practicing drunks and got the boot. The list of natives that were sent home because they were drinking, fucking, swapping STD's and making herpe babies is best described as a trail of tears. It a family tradition dudes (Hank WIlliams Jr): old enough to bleed, old enough to breed. Indigenous communities retain the most destructive aspects of the pre-contact cultures, absorbing the least desirable and most horrific aspects of the invading races. Like home for all of us, it's wrecked and never coming back.

The Catholic, Russian Orthodox, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Baptist and Friends Church schools get a bad rap because they were church sponsored K-12 orphanage programs where pedophile clergy rapists were sent way up north and relocated to a church near you. These hellish religion based orphanages aren't even in the same league as the federal boarding school system. Separating children from everything Alaskan also separated pedophiles from your children like shipping baby butt fuckers up to Camp Siv. You remember now, don't you. Old school pedo-native banishment, and for good reason. If you were a naked 4 year old boy, you'd totally fear religious K-12 orphanages.

I didn't have much faith in Galena accomplishing anything close to BIA achievements. The Galena Interior Learning Academy is similar to the Tec Ctr back in Krotchebue. A voc-tech school, but not K-12 campus. BIA schools had everything for children of all ages in one place: dorms, classrooms, gymnasiums, orchestra and band auditoriums, theaters and cafeterias like a University of Alaska Fairbanks campus. I attended UAF and loved the campus for its insulation from Fairbanks (Shitbanks), the military and ugly white folks just hanging around looking to poach really pretty, classy educated women from all over the world. At UAF we called the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA), the University for African Americans, or the University of All I could Afford.

The Air Force leaving Galena was no surprise. BRAC stands for Base Re-Alignment and Closure and they are the federal oversight committee that evaluates all the bases around the world and Eilsen was the other candidate for closure: Galena wasn't needed fer shit. It just was a big strip of pavement with old buildings leaning crooked on one side of a giant old runway. You coppers remember when Kotzebue Air Force Base was closed down, and then later all the demolition scrabble buried in the old Kotzebue City Dump. Galena thought themselves a higher class o' nigger and didn't think the Air Force would pull the same shit. Think again, clooch lick.

All my jobs put me at the old playground, the Kotzebue city dump. I grew up shooting dogs with Octuck, Garoutte, Byrd and Blanchard experimenting with Hornady XTP and Hydro-Shok ammo. I still laugh at Nush's story about trying to kill a shit-ass stray dog with full metal jacket ball ammo. That stupid dog got shot with a whole magazine of bullets and still wagged its now shorter tail, jumped around bleeding happy as shit, before Patrick blasted it across the garbage field with 12 gauge double-aught buck. I also visited the old Crotch dump working for KIC, NANA and School District dumping truckloads of sno-go crates, old NANA desks and broken chairs and mountains of paper from the School District. I was a major contributor to the scenic and giant heap of trash, and a favorite arsonist.

I bought black powder and fuse from Neal Sager, pipe sections from AC hardware and lumber (Tupik Hardware), and seriously blew some shit up. Some days I'd go to the Kotzebue K-Mart to pukkuk goodies, start fires and toss in propane tanks and tires. Good fun. Some fires we started really did a good job of reducing the mountains of garbage and dead dogs, burning for weeks while Werneke pushed the trash into larger burn piles with city bucket loaders. Werneke did good job of keeping the stinking refuse ablaze and roaring like a canine funeral pyre and tire blast furnace, eventually leaving an empty lot. Room fer more shit.

On a few occasions, me and Sara or Brian Tikik Jr. (BJ) would run away from my explosive charges I set, booked to the end of the tundra trail on the back edge of Davis Lake and Kramer Sewage Lagoon, hopped on our bikes and pedaled home. My fucking ears would be ringing like a motherfucker, unable to hear the firetrucks responding to the explosions heard at FAA and back in town. Me and Sara would look like support actor chimney sweeps on Mary Poppins, covered in soot and deaf as shit fer the rest of the day. I'd be hungover too. Chugging 151 rum and bong hits of homegrown death bud ain't fer pussies.

Just a few months ago, I sat in the Soldotna Midas Auto Repair shop getting new tires. Me and bun were chatting with an overly tattooed gal that asked me why my mailing address was Barrow, Alaska. I told her that was my home base for years and all my mail was sent there. An older white dude, looked at me and Bun, then asked with a buzz box if I knew Mike and Arlene Zagars, and we said yes, we did. He had a stoma-hole in the front of his neck and was using those weird throat cancer buzzy talking assistance tools and told me that Mike was his brother and his name was Chris Zagars. I told him the stories we knew of Mike and Arlene, her death, and a detailed story how Mike was shot and killed in Wasilla.

I told Chris how I met Zagars at his dog-lot out by the FAA towers loading a truck with slow dogs and sick puppies. Me and Higman rode along with Mike down to the dump, where I thought Mike was gonna just let the dogs loose. Nup, he put a 22 rifle to each and every dog's head and shot them. We tossed them out onto a pile of refuse and drove back. I like this place. I continued lecturing Chris about my watching Mike receive a red lantern award at the Lions Club in a dog race that was won by Susan Butcher, while he was dropping off pouches of green bud and picking up cash on all his village checkpoints. 1988 isn't that far back. Keep up.

When it came to Arlene and Mike Zagars causes of death, I just rolled on with my story explaining the alcoholics don't die from the alcohol, they die from malnutrition and starvation: like Arlene. I then proceeded to explain to Chris that since Mike was busted with a cut-down shotgun during one of his many drug raids, he was a convicted felon and couldn't have any firearms in any house he entered. His neighbor in Wasilla developed a feud with Mike over fences and boundaries, and Mike's loose dogs. His neighbor blasted one of his dogs only inches from their two boys and Mike went next door to chat, or stomp ass. MIke knocked on this neighbor's door, it swung open and he shot Mike point-blank, center mass in the chest. The angry old drunkard neighbor kept the cops and rescue crews away by popping rounds their direction until Mike leaked out and croaked. Then the neighbor opened the door and shot himself in the head, with cops as witnesses.

Chris asked me about Mike's new wife and I told him that after Arlene died, Mike inherited the Sampson lot with mom's old HUD model #500 shit box house, Calvin's unnuk shack grovel and the 2-story cabin package he'd built. Mike also inherited the odd number of remodeled old HUD crap houses further south on 2nd avenue closer to Rotman's. Chris asked me who Mike remarried and I told him that I didn't know of her, just that Caroline Sampson and Pete Jorgenson simply referred to her as that white bitch that inherited all the NANA shares and the old house from mom and Arlene (Panhandle Bar 2012). After Mike was shot and killed, his new wife sold everything in Kotzebue and took the boys back home, somewhere in the lesser 48. Chris was stunned.

He sat and digested this tale me and bun layed on him, then asked how we knew so much about Mike and Arlene. Instead of telling him that my last and best friends were cops, bun interjected that Alaska is one big dysfunctional village and their are no secrets (except these postings). Chris Zagars pondered this data overload, then told us that the little Mexican village he lived in, south of Arizona, was just the same. Cheap booze, cigarettes and blow. Like he needed any more of these items.

Back in Seattle, my elementary school friends was ribbing me fer ditching farm-fresh family blown out white pussy from the farms and trailer parks surrounding Edmonds and Mountlake Terrace, flying way up north to Alaska and marrying native trim. In a white moron explanation, my brother Cully described my relationship with Bun as two old women. We're smarter together, protective and I hate to say this, soul mates.

Don't tell anybody, but the only woman I married was a survivor of horrific upbringing, Indian Res alcoholism, and wiser than her years: just like me. I've run all over the planet looking for her replacement. Older women, younger women, non-English speaking women and to this day, haven't found a companion that asks me daily, "Got yer guns?" She reminds me that we should go shopping at gun sales, so a more apt description of my bunnik, is she's my brother from a darker mother. We both are survivors of childhood violence and we both keep eyes roving and heads rotating, looking for people to shoot. With a native wife psyched to shoot white people, I've got a true fucking partner in crime. And real estate.

We've bought a couple properties in Kotzebue, an empty lot in Wasilla, a house in Willow, 3 empty lots up Hatcher Pass, a duplex in Barrow that we rented to ASRC for $4K a month fer years, finally buying a cabin and shop on Quintin Lake here in Kasilof. The all got the Jewish tune-ups: clean-ups, paint jobs and sold for a few bucks more than we paid for them. I doubt we cleared our labor and materials, but subsequent owners kept up the home improvement momentum and these properties are now pretty fucking sweet. As you walk down 2nd avenue, look at Harold Lambert's house (369). He finished the work we started and was almost chasing us off the property just to get started with siding, heating and interior finishing touches.

I never bought property in Galena, sick ass Indun dump, and not even my $65K salary kept me there. I phoned bun up in Barrow at pert near my 6 month eval, and she chided me fer living with such Yukon river rat niggers. See, she knows a lot of my Galena neighbors and even they hate paying such high living costs fer a drunken fish barf pile. Bun told me to finish up my projects, get the fuck away from them asshole stink Induns and meet her at the Barrow Airport.

During my 6 month eval, I interrupted Marvin Yoder and told him I had opportunities in Barrow I'd like to pursue. Red faced, mad as a Mennonite (Amish) in-breed, which he was, he fired me on the spot. Shucks, I miss Doyon Induns. Galena never got the fire/public safety equipment and training grant, the boarding school idea took a shit, and the Air Force left Galena with 2 large dumps of garbage leaking fuel, oil and chemicals leaking into the Yukon River, leaving the State of Alaska with a giant airport, and stopped all subsidies to the Galena power plant. Now electricity is 10 times Anchorage's kilowatt price. Just like Krotchebue. The outward stampede preceded the inevitable million dollar heating and power bills. Katy bar the door.

The fire/public safety equipment and training grant was awarded to Aniak. You might remember their all female fire fighting crew that arose from this grant, they called themselves, "The Aniak Half-Breeds." I still smile thinking that Aniak couldn't have been a better place to award that grant. Galena has since seen a drop in population of 50%. The Air Force Base ain't coming back, the boarding school idea is a flop, the fire hall needs duct tape and the police department is non-existence. Galena can suck my ass, and the hole in Ethan Cooley's head. "Fucking Indians" (Jack Nicholson-Easy Rider).

Laugh it up faggots. I know I'm an idiot. I took a shitty no-win job as a bridge from Seattle all the way up to Barrow, following phantoms that govern my life. Barrow has winters that make a soul wonder why warmer climes are harder to endure. I haven't bitched one iota about cold weather in Alaska, you coppers should've called bullshit on me. You fuckers knew that I'd return after so many years in Helsinki, and Russia.

Seasons are a working man's menstrual cycle and dysfunctional affective drinking disorder we all partake. You fuckers could never live without extreme arctic seasons, its in your brain, your eating habits, and especially, its in yer shit. If any of ye crap in a Colo-Guard box, it'll immediately indicate a 907 butt sniff. We aren't gifted enough to make a notable contribution to any art, science, or music nor medicine in the outside civilized world. By remaining in Alaska to suffer and chuckle at remote retardation, you fuckers are part of a dialogue and shitty language artwork that reflects your existence.

I make fun of our dull kids and duller grandchildren, but you see through my bullshit. I point foible as we age with jokes unkind and in poor taste. Jokes that leave graying coworkers knowing better than the rest of rural Alaska. You look at your families and see existential cycles like timesheets, dying parents and evermore children born in and around your homes.

I'll not speak of maturity cuz I can't, I'm deformed and broken, blistered and scabbed, and unhealed, but I can sure as shit scribble prose of crime scenes and death investigations. I may be just a fucking Niff, but I hope to elicit conceptual glimpses of life-cycle decline and decay at a cerebral, cellular and stool level.

My historical references pull hard on your feelings from a long time ago. I'll quote names, methods of suicide, childhoods, shit achieved and burial. But never forget that endless life may not include us. These postings alter yer attitude as yer sorry asses grow older and Alaska's winters take a greater toll on yer wrinkled butts, reminding you dusty public soldiers of your rapidly approaching mortality.

If I don't offend you fuckers with names, dates and locations every goddamned day, you'll eventually separate from the rest of us and lose count of our years together.

Leaving me alone with voices from the squad room and dispatch stilled.

Karl.
