A quote straight out of Izetta's Alaska Bounty blog (alaskabounty.blogspot)
Is it just me, or is decomposing fish waste just a little bit more than "the smell of a little fish"? Damn, I don't like the idea of Pebble Mine, but I'd rather have a big ass mound of mining debris sitting in my back yard than the smell of rotting fish. Maybe Izetta can explain how her fish composting operation on her property really works.

Growing your own 'organic' vegetables to sell to your neighbors at a high price in Bush Alaska
By Professor DLG'er
Welcome back, class!!! Greetings
aside, we are going to dive straight into today's lesson. Let's use
the following guide to learn how to grow our own organic vegetables
to sell to our neighbors at high prices.
First on the list of to-dos is to order
up a couple of high-tubes. We want to make sure that we know the
barge shippers sailing schedule so that we don't have to use very
expensive air cargo services at last minute.
We then want to order up the following
items online:
- Cool little stickers that say “Organic"
- Seeds of our choice
- Plant food, plant vitamins and other growth chemicals
- An assortment of pesticides
- Any other chemicals that we can find with convincing claims of “preserving freshness"
Now, we will construct our high-tubes
and prepare our soil. Plant our seeds, when they arrive- making sure
we use our wide variety of plant food/vitamins/growth chemicals.
Once our seeds have sprouted- we'll keep the plants healthy by
preventing any pesky insects from chomping down on them before we do.
We do this with the use of our pesticides. Once our vegetables
have grown nice and big, we will gather them and use our chemicals
that “preserve freshness” and then slapping the “organic”
stickers all over them.
The final and most important step is to
come up with an insanely high price to sell them at and put the sale
sign up!
Possible reasons for having a crummy fishing season
- Stayed on shore most of the time
- Didn't fish the line
- Cruised off the fishing grounds when a semi-load was caught
- Seals considered my boat their favorite in the bay
- Fished with holy nets
- Lazy crew
- Smart biologists are ruining the 'sustainable resource'
If you could see DLG'er in person...

Just accept it

If at first you don't succeed, then you probably just are not good enough. Don't bother with try and try again- it won't work.

Writing my own newspaper column after Izetta's words of encouragement: "Maybe you should be writing a column in the paper too! I'm sure that other people would be happy to hear of these prices, and I'm also confident that you could explain it in a way that makes sense to your regular, average Joe. You know, not too many big, fancy words that are incomprehensible"
Better Fish Prices
By DLG'er
The ninety-five cent rumors are true!!!
A sure sign that you'll have an empty net:
Near the end of your net:
Four seals
Also near the end of your net:
Eight seagulls
What they are doing at the end of your net:
Seagulls are dive-bombing the seals. Seals are lunging up at the seagulls that are dive-bombing.
