i was looking for a ride yesterday, when an old green bronco pulled into the turnoff and the driver said he would give me a ride after he bought some stuff inside the store. the back of the car was piled high with nets and fishing gear, so his buddy told me to just climb in and sit on top of all the stuff. the driver returned and with total dismay said to me, "you're sitting on the eggs!?!?" i did not know what to do. i was freaking out looking for the eggs until he started laughing at me and said that he was only playing with me. his name was ron. i asked him how far he was going and he responded by saying that he was shipping me to shanghai on a slave ship. ron was really kind. after he dropped me off, he told me to stop by his boat whenever for some coffee.
i am heading off tomorrow to meet my skipper, dean. we are going to talk about a contract and so it looks like this could be my ship. i talked with some people around town and they said dean was a good guy and that he runs a safe ship! well, that is all for now because i am getting kicked off in the library.

Sean,
I think you should write a book about the characters you have met while spending a summer in Alaska at a fishing village. Great human interest stuff.
Praying. LOve, Grammie
