Day 22

Thursday 6/12/03
Went to The Great Alaskan Bowl Company. The man making the bowls saw us watching through the window and came out and talked to us. He is a 73 year old Native American; tribal name Laoi. Goes by nickname of Sandy and his American name is Harold Haldane. I took his picture with Teddy. He, like many Alaskans that we met, seemed to have some kind of an issue with the Alaskan government. He said that he was going to run for governor in the next election. We assured him that were we Alaskan residents, we would vote for him.We went to Sam’s Club-got some T-shirts, etc. In afternoon, I wired the cable TV up to the bedroom. We bought some Red King Salmon filets, had enough for four meals. Had salmon for dinner. Teddy baked it in the Scamp’s oven and it was delicious. We ate on the picnic table next to our trailer and it was as good a meal as we could have had in any restaurant. Simba agrees that all fish is good but given a choice she prefers canned Friskies.
