I think an unexpected survival situation in Alaska right about now would be almost welcome. It wasn't that long ago we were looking at the mass destruction from a Tsunami. Then we had what seemed like the kidnapped, molested and murdered child of the week culminating in the tragedy in Idaho. I go to get gasoline this morning and run into an old acquaintance from the irish-american community. " Ah,Chris, It seems the arabs turn to have a slap at Britannia-wink wink nudge nudge." I had enough. I slapped him-hard " and theres a slap for you for being thicker than a Belfast brick." <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> I can only think of Marlon Brando gasping his last lines in Apocalypse Now," the horror, the horror, the horror." <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Hug your kids and loved ones people.
