FISH (AND OTHER THINGS) IN ALASKAN WATE RS... THIS HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH COMPUTING, SO DON'T BOTHER READING FURTHER..... A COUPLE YEARS BACK, I WAS OUTSIDE SPLITTING SOME WOOD FOR THE COMI NG WINTER. THE OLD SAYING AROUND HERE IS THAT WE ONLY HAVE TWO SEASONS: WINTER A ND THE FOURTH OF JULY. ALMOST TRUE..... ANYWAY, ROBIN COLE (AN OLD FRIEND) CAME AROUND AND SAT WATCHING ME FOR A WHILE. FINALLY, HE SPEAKS UP AND ASKS IF I'D RA THER BE FISHING ON THE CREEK. WELL, IT'S A FINE THING TO CATCH A 20 INCH RAINBOW TROUT, BUT I REALLY NEEDED TO WORK AT T HAT PILE. FINALLY, ROBIN UP AND SAYS, "J IM, YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF ALL OF US YET!". I ASKED IF IT WAS JUST SOUR GRAPES AT CHOPPING AND NOT FISHING?.. O NE LEARNS EARLY TO AVOID GETTING ROBIN I NVOLVED IN ANY DEEP THINKING... HIS LOGI C IS JUST SHORT OF TWISTED! HE STARTED I N, BY POINTING OUT THAT I WAS MAKING THA T AXE BLADE MIGHTY WARM. I TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS THE NATURAL ORDER OF THINGS, THA T THE BLADE WILL GET WARM. AFTER I'D FIN ISHED A FEW MORE PIECES AND HE'D PONDERE D A BIT LONGER, HE ASKS, "IS IT REALLY B ECAUSE OF FRICTION OF THE BLADE ON THE W OOD, OR HAS IT TO DO WITH THE CONVERSION OF ENERGY AND MASS?"... NOW THIS REALLY SUPRISED ME, COMING FROM ROBIN. USUALLY HE'LL AVOID BEING SERIOUS ABOUT MOST T HINGS. I ASKED HIM WHAT HE MEANT AND HE LAUNCHED INTO THE MOST, AWSOME EXPLAINAT ION... ABOUT HOW WITH EACH STROKE I WAS SLOWLY CONVERTING ENERGY AND HEAT INTO M ASS. THAT MASS WAS BEING ADDED TO THE SU RROUNDING AREA OF MY CHOPPING BLOCK. GIV EN ENOUGH TIME AND EFFORT (ON MY PART, O F COURSE) THE RESULTING INCREASE IN MASS WOULD OVERCOME THE REPULSION OF THE ATO MIC STRUCTURE OF MY CHOPPING BLOCK (PAUS E HERE FOR A BREATH) AND CONSEQUENTLY WO ULD RESULT IN THE CHOPPING BLOCK IMPLODI NG LIKE A NEUTRON STAR (????). WHEN THAT HAPPENED WE'D HAVE THE FIRST CONFIRMED BLACK HOLE, RIGHT IN MY MEADOW... ROBIN CONTINUED WITH THIS LINE OF REASONING, A S HE SAW IT, AND TOLD ME A TALE OF HOW T HE IMPLOSION WOULD FEED UPON ITSELF AND IT'S SURROUNDINGS... INCLUDING MY MEADOW , THE CABIN, THE STATE OF ALASKA, THE WO RLD, THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND FINALLY THE EN TIRE UNIVERSE... ALL BECAUSE I'D CHOPPED INSTEAD OF GOING FISHING!.. BY THE TIME HE'D FINISHED, ELLIE (MY WIFE) AND THEA (HIS VERY LARGE WIFE) HAD WANDERED OUT AND WERE LISTENING IN AMAZEMENT. FINALLY , (WHEN ELLIE COULD TALK BETWEEN HER CHO RTLES) SHE ASKED IF MAYBE IT WAS TOO LAT E, THAT THE CRITICAL POINT HAD BEEN REAC HED. TO WHICH ROBIN REPLIED, "WELL IF IT 'S HAPPENED, WE CAN JUST STUFF THEA'S BI G BUTT IN THE HOLE... THAT'LL PLUG 'ER U P JUST FINE". WE BARELY ESCAPED WITH OUR FISHING POLES!.. ROBIN AND I RARELY GO FISHING, EXCEPT ON ONE OF OUR CREEKS OUT BACK. THESE CREEKS WANDER FOR MILES THR OUGH A SERIES OF MEADOWS AND BEAVER POND S. WE ARE CONSTANTLY FINDING NEW PLACES TO EXPLORE. THE GIRLS USUALLY STAY HOME AND USE THE TIME TO CATCH UP ON PINOCHLE AND VISITING. THE REASON WHY WE DO THE CREEKS IS BECAUSE OF THE "FISHING CRAZY" TOURISTS ON THE BETTER KNOWN RIVERS. YO U'D BE SUPRISED HOW SERIOUS SOME FOLKS T AKE THEIR FISHING, HERE. LAST YEAR, UP O N THE CASWELL, SOME FOLKS EXCHANGED GUNF IRE OVER THEIR KING SALMON. LUCKILY, NO ONE HIT ANYTHING OR EACH OTHER. LET ME E XPLAIN... IN ALASKA, ONE IS PRETTY FOOLI SH TO LEAVE THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT A FIREAR M. MOSTLY TO MAKE NOISE AND IMPRESS THE ANIMALS THAT YOU ARE TO BE TAKEN SERIOUS LY. BEING ALONG THE STREAMS AND RIVERS, ESPECIALLY DURING THE SALMON RUNS, IS TO EXPECT UNWANTED ENCOUNTERS WITH THE LOC AL FAUNA. THESE ARE THE TIMES WHEN YOU P AT YOURSELF ON THE BACK, FOR HAVING THE FORESIGHT TO PACK THE HARDWARE ALONG... CHILDREN IN THE BUSH GROW UP, USING A FI REARM AS A TOOL. OUR YOUNGEST, J.P., HAS CARRIED A .357 RUGER SINCE HE WAS 12 YE ARS OLD. THEY ARE ALSO TAUGHT COMMON SEN SE ABOUT TOOLS. ONLY RECENTLY, HAVE THER E BEEN PROBLEMS WITH GUNS, HERE. UNFORTU NATELY, MOST HAVE BEEN BROUGHT BY FOLKS MOVING HERE, FROM OUTSIDE. FORTUNATELY, MOST CAN'T HIT THE SIDE OF A BARN. IT HA S CREATED PROBLEMS FOR FOLKS IN THE FISH AND GAME DEPARTMENT. PLEASE DON'T MISUN DERSTAND, AS MOST OF US ARE HAPPY TO WEL COME OUTSIDE FOLKS, IF THEY WILL AT LEAS T FOLLOW THE SAME VALUES THAT OUR CHILDR EN LEARNED AT AN EARLY AGE. I DEGRESS... .. ROBIN AND I TIME OUR FISHING JAUNTS B Y THE COFFEE THERMOS. WE EACH TAKE TWO A ND WHEN ONE IS EMPTY, IT'S TIME TO HEAD BACK. THIS TRIP TOOK US INTO A NEW LAKE THAT WE'D NEVER BEEN IN BEFORE. THE LAKE WAS SHALLOW AND HAD A WHITE BOTTOM TO I T. NEVER HAD SEEN THE LIKE. ONCE IN A WH ILE, OUR CANOE WOULD PASS OVER A HUGE MA W IN THE LAKE BOTTOM. OBVIOUSLY, IT WAS SPRING FED AND THE WHITE WAS FROM POWDER Y CLAY. STILL, THE PLACE LOOKED AND FELT LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF THE TWILIGHT ZONE !.. HAVING CAUGHT NOT A SINGLE FISH AND SINCE OUR FIRST JUGS RAN DRY (OUR EXCUSE ) WE DECIDED TO SMOOTH THE HAIR ON THE B ACKS OF OUR NECKS AND CALL IT A NIGHT. T HIS BEING HIGH SUMMER, THE SUN SETS AT A BOUT 11 PM BUT IN NEVER REALLY GETS DARK . THE SKY GOES TO A LIGHT DUSK AND THEN GETS ROSEY AS DAWN ARRIVES ABOUT 2 AM. B EING ABOUT SIX HOURS FROM HOME, WE CRACK ED OUR LAST JUGS OF COFFEE AND SAT IN A CHANNEL AT THE END OF THE LAKE. WE WERE WAITING FOR IT TO LIGHTEN UP IN THE WOOD S, SO WE COULD MAKE A "SHORT-CUT" PORTAG E. BESIDES, IN OUR HURRY TO ESCAPE THEA' S WRATH, WE'D LEFT THE GUNS BEHIND... TH IS IS THE POINT AT WHICH ROBIN POINTED O UT THE BUBBLES..... "HEY, DIDJA EVER SEE SUCH A THING", WAS HIS INITIAL STATEMEN T. SURE ENOUGH, ABOUT 75 YARDS UP CREEK I SAW THOSE BUBBLES. THE BUBBLINGS BECAM E CHURNED MUD AND WHATEVER IT WAS, WAS H EADED OUR WAY! CAFFEINE SATURATION IS RA THER COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE IN SITUATIONS LI KE THIS. ROBIN STARTED HOLLERING ABOUT L OST TORPEDOS, FROM ELMENDORF DURING THE WAR, AND OUR MISFORTUNES IN DISTURBING O NE (I MIGHT HAVE BELEIVED HIM A BIT, TOO ). THE BUBBLES AND CHURNING WAS REALLY G AINING A LOT OF MOMENTUM... IT'S AWKWARD , EVEN UNDER THE BEST OF CIRCUMSTANCES, TO PROPERLY TURN A CANOE IN A NARROW CHA NNEL. I RECALL WE'D JUST MANAGED TO JUST GET IT BROADSIDE WITH ONE END CAUGHT UP ON THE BANK (EVEN WORSE), WHEN THE OBJE CT PASSED UNDER US! IT WAS A HUGE BEAVER THAT WAS MORE THAN A BIT IRKED AT BEING TRAPPED IN THE CHANNEL. ROBIN WAS ALREA DY OUT OF THE CANOE AND UP TO HIS KNEES IN THE MUSK (MUSK IS A FLOATING MASS, MA NY FEET THICK, OF VEGETATION THAT CAN CO VER A LAKE COMPLETELY) AND TRYING TO MAK E GOOD TIME TO THE TREES... AFTER MY BLO OD PRESSURE CAME DOWN, I COAXED ROBIN BA CK INTO THE CANOE AND WE "UNLOST" OURSEL VES FROM THE SHORTCUT (SURE IS LUCKY YOU CAN HEAR A GENERTOR, FOR A L-O-N-G WAYS )... WE FINALLY ARRIVED HOME THE FOLLOWI NG EVENING... IT TOOK US MANY CUPS OF CO FFEE (IT HELPS MAKE TIME FOR THINKING) A ND SOME LENGTH OF TIME TO RELAY OUR DISC OVERIES OF A NEW LAKE WITH GREAT FISHING , TO THE GALS. FOR SOME REASON IT JUST D IDN'T SEEM AS EXCITING TO THE GIRLS IN T HE RETELLING, AS IN THE EXPERIENCING! GO T LOTS OF TOE TAPPING AND THE SAME LOOK THAT MOM GAVE DAD WHEN HE BLEW UP THE CA MPER, WHILE LOOKING FOR A PROPANE LEAK. BUT, THAT'S ANOTHER STORY.....
