Why would I want to do that? I'm a freight dawg, I can't afford to be an environmentalist.

That's exactly the point, I can't afford to favor either side because both sides help me put food on my family.

You put food on your family?

Of course the little one does that on her own.

If mean a drifter as in the kind of commercial fishing I do, then yes. You might be the first person to ever have figured that out.

You should have been here when one of the big wigs from Wash. DC (and Begich) came here. They got an ear full from all the locals about the Pebble Mine and offshore drilling.
