Hi Robyn, Mark & List: Punky is coming home Saturday with the chest stitches removed and will have the hernea stitches removed the following Thursday. I expect we'll leave, weather permitting, the next day, Friday. I'll be glad to get to a warmer latitude. According to Jimmy Buffet, changes in latitudes = changes in attitudes. I, personally have found it to be true. Of course, there will come times, when I complain of tropic heat. Life is a bitch and then you die. I should receive mail within 4 days of posting. Just met brothers, Claudio and Andrea Del Grande, of Genoa, Italy. They rode, 2 up, on a loaded 1984 Honda XL-600 from Italy through eastern Europe and Russia to Vladivostok and the Kamchatka Peninsula, then flew to Anchorage, AK and rode to Prudhoe Bay and back to Fairbanks. They tried a road into Siberia and gave up that idea. They're now headed to the USA and Tierra Del Fuego. If they have enough money, from Argentina, they will fly to Cape Town, South Africa and ride up to Europe. If they are short of funds they will fly back to Italy. These guys are travelling on a very short budget. More power to them, but $10/day is not my style. Tom Ridner, the owner of this lodge/hostel, told me something about the owner, Freddie Piscina of NYC, of a damaged Harley cylinder now resting on a table here in the garage/hangout. I saw Freddie's interesting motorcycle Traveller's Story on horizonsunlimited.com and sent him a message telling him I read his story, while looking at his Harley's cylinder, which he left here 3 years ago. Tom also told me of a guy, who rode his bicycle from Prudhoe Bay to Tierra Del Fuego in 19 months. This evening I will meet an Englishman, George Megan, who walked on foot from Tierra Del Fuego to Prudhoe Bay in 7 years. Makes our adventure tour seem kinda puny in comparison. But, hey, these guys didn't have a gritty little dog that could -- and does. If Punky can take all this abuse/injury, dead once and nearly so again within 6-7 weeks, then I sure don't have reason to bitch. I gotta think of a name for a new religion, with Punky re-incarnated and with a message from God. I'll say my prayers to him. We could sell little Punky statues worldwide over the internet. Troubled folks everywhere could take comfort in confidng in Punky through E-mail. Am I getting carried away here? This is bound to draw the ire of religious folks. Sacreligious, they will say. Needless to say, I'm elated that Punky is well and coming back to me. Thanx, Robyn, Mark and all the rest for the good vibes. Mark, please post this message and any others you consider to be of interest on the website. Later.
