post script
oh. did i also forget to mention...
under the whole lawlessness of Alaska--yesterday as i was driving into town on the Glen Highway, parked on the right side of the freeway were no less than 11 cop cars all with their flashing lights.
previously to this string of blue there was a large pickup tipped into the ditch of the median.
3 tires were touching the grass. the nose of the car was pointed down into the ditch. the owner was trying to weigh down the back left tire to maybe make it possible to back out of the ditch, but the weight of the vehicle kept nosing it back down into the ditch.
just past the row of flashing lights was a small red hatch-back. the driver and passenger were already put seperately in one of the 11 cop cars (don't know how it was chosen which they would go into, maybe the closest).
however, peering over at the red car that was leading the packed of parked vehicles, there was a scattered array of bullet holes neatly dispersed around the gas tank, about 6 holes in all.
that must have been some chase. although would cops really aim for the tank like that?
is that how the truck got in the ditch? they were run off the road? it seemed weird though that no one other than the driver was at the truck while all other 11 police officers were attending to the red hatch-back.
i may never know what happened.
also. in retelling this story to my hosts, they informed me of a shooting downtown that resulted in a stray bullet that hit one of the people rallying for the support of a current Alaskan senator.
From what they say, this man needs all the help he can get. Allegedly he has the lowest approval rating in the nation: 20%. GW should take some pointers.
now people are saying that if the guy does get re-elected, it will be from pity points for the gunned-down supporter.
i don't even know who this guy is or what he stands for. maybe i should look into it.
although i was told that he put his sister in power (my earlier reference to nepotism) and he bought a jet with the people's money all in the name of visiting the small towns of Alaska.
the catch: it can't land on any gravel runways.
well. that's the government for you.
rock on.
