It's painful enough when they lose. When it's the Skins that beat them, it just heaps insult on top of the pain.

I'm sure the White Owl didn't help the morale.

Kenai isn't very far from Soldotna, and they either have a WalMart, or have one planned, and they have a Fred Meyer's. Milk is probably $5-6 a gallon, compared to $3.50 or $4 here in Anchorage. And there's a road, and they probably know someone who is going to Anchorage just about daily. It's a pretty small town, and it's quite a ways from here, but it's not, like, Bethel, or anything. If they're taking a plane to Anchorage, it's probably because they own it, and don't have anything better to do. That happens a lot up here, actually. The private pilot community calls it "the $100 hamburger". Get in the plane and go somewhere for dinner, just because you can. Of course, that was when avgas was cheaper, so it's probably a $200 hamburger, now.

Three of the best days I've had in a long, long time, was last Labor Day weekend camping out at Cooper Landing. Sitting around, reading, smoking, drinking beer. I made the mistake of cooking up a couple pots of kick-ass Dutch Oven lamb stew, and may have gotten myself elected permanent camp cook. It's two hours from Anchorage, and about another hour beyond that is Kenai.

Well, she does in fact have a Wal-Mart going up where she lives (had to ask). It still sounds amazing to be out there. I know some of my buddies that give their wives the good 'ol "dutch oven" while they're sleeping.
