Yes, things can always get crazier. The housing bubble is all Greenspan has left. /BSG

OT - Johnny Horton

I just got back from a long trip. 40 hours sitting on my arse in airplanes, over 9 days, plus some not so lovely negotiations in between.

Since I mentioned Johnny Horton I went down and purchased some new speakers w/subwoofer for my PC (old ones were knackered). First one up was JH. Cool stuff. Next one up will be The Boss.

Would like to post the words to North to Alaska as it seems apt for this PM thread (and since I reside in AK).

NORTH TO ALASKA

Big Sam left Seattle in the year of ninety-two
With George Pratt his partner and brother Billy too
They crossed the Yukon river and they found the bonanza gold
Below that old white mountain
Just a little south-east of Nome
Sam crossed the Majestic mountains to the valleys far below
He talked to his team of huskies
As he mushed on through the snow
With the northen lights a-runnin' wild
In the land of the midnight sun
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man
In the year of nineteen-one

Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
North to Alaska go north the rush is on

George turns to Sam with his gold in his hand
Said Sam you're lookin' at a lonely lonely man
I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jenny's hand
'Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
Remember Sam a true love is so hard to find
I'd build for my Jenny a honeymoon home
Below that old white mountain
Just a little south-east of Nome

Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
North to Alaska go north the rush is on

Johnny Horton died too young. And he had some education in geology and petroleum engineering.

Time to relax. Digging for gold is easier these days. Big Sam et al would have thought all of us a bunch of real wusses.
