Forgive me if I'm a little loopy but I just came off of two weeks of night shift in Kuparuk.   Yeah, I might get laid off, so what?   Improvise.  Adapt. Overcome.   Alaska is a one trick pony.  Mining and fishing together are nothing compared to oil.   Saw the writing on the wall and sold the Chugiak house last summer  and moved to Idaho.  Been here since '74 and figured it was time to cash out.
