Greetings one and all...

Well, after such an awe inspiring start... I dont have much news, as it isnt that late in the day, so I havent done much. Although I do have some really good news. I think I have a job... I went in for the interview and she said she needed to run it by her supervisor, but she said I have a 99.9% chance of getting hired. Oh yeah... the place (I can just hear you saying... "where is it that ur talking about...") It is the good old roast beef sandwich place... Arbys! oh boy... lol. Kevin will be proud of me I guess.
Well... whoever put up that last coment I coulndt read it because the coment server was down I guess. So, I'll try looking later. But you never can tell with bees... Speaking of bees. Tiff's shop... well not 'her' shop, but the shop at which she works... yeah... Anyway, she has this little table out on the porch for pple to sit at and do table type things... anyhow, the other day some pple came in after doing such table things and reported that they (well, i shoudnt say 'came' in, more like dove in.) like I was saying, they reported that they had been attacked by a bunch of rather annoyed bees (great spelling skills here!!) So yesterday I went out and checked it out... and yup there was a bees nest about the size of a softball. nice, so I guess I'm gona have to knock if off with somthing and run fast... lol. Anyhow, thats the breaking news from AK...
Hasta Man~a... u like that Dave? lol

Well... my 2nd full day in Alaska. The beging of the 'Great Job Search'. Fun fun fun. I have no idia how many apps I have filled out 2day. But, I know it is a lot. I have some very probable opertunities. (none that require spelling, ha ha) Yes, I am living in a tent for all of you unbeleavers out there... When I open my tent in the moring I see across the bay about 12 miles to a long row of mountain peeks and sevral glaciers. There are far too many tourists in this town. Like I told my parents yesterday, if i toss a rock in any direction I'll prolby hit 5 tourists. Well... maybe not quite that many, but it seams that way. And they CAN NOT DRIVE!!! grr... right of way? huh? what is that?

After my half a day of job searching I took the jeep down to the beach and drove about 5 miles down to where nobody was and took some pictures and started to do some drawing of the moutans across the bay... but I realized that I didnt have a pencil. So I sat around and looked at the bay. The sun was shining off the little ripples in the water. It was really beautiful. When I first got there there were two little rocks out a bit into the water that had gulls on them... But after being there for an hour or so I realized that there was now only one rock with one gull on it... it took me a bit to realize that the tide was coming in and I had better get off the beach or I would have to see how well the Jeep worked as a boat... that was fun, splash spash. anyhow then I was here, typing this.. well, not just after I noticed the disapearing rock... but as soon as I got off the beach I came here.
And as too ur question of how Tiff is doing Amanda... She is doing fine, she was really really glad to see me :) she was jumping up and down at the airport when I came in, then she attacked me, lol. sorta. She was realy bored because my plane was 2 hours late. So she read all the little booklets in the airport she could get her hands on.
Well, thats my 2nd day. The weather is sunny and warm ;P... well by warm I mean 65. Which is nice.

(although I dont know what I would do if you did...)

How do you like my runonsentence? errr...) See? that was just a lot of typing to get no real point across, I told you it was early. Right now I am staring at the screen wondering what I should type, well not "right" now... but just before I started typing this I was... but right now I am typing... ok, now that I am totaly brainless, I'm going to go to bed.
