I highly doubt I will be posting in the next week+, and I doubt even more that a single one of you would have noted except Jonn, and that&#8217;s only because the TAH Blogger Evals are due in January.  I&#8217;m going to go out on a limb and predict I once again get no raise, and no COLA.<\/p>\n<p>Leaving out Sunday to head to Craig, Alaska where I am writing a story on how service officers help veterans in far-flung communities get the help from the VA they earned.  Should be fun.  Weather forecast for Craig tonight and tomorrow is 6-10 inches of the white stuff.  That kinda has me pumped, I love me some snow.  Must be the Mainer in me.  <\/p>\n<p>Not so stoked to be in a 4 man plane, a la Ted Stevens plane of death.  But, what can you do.  If I die, hold a regular funeral for family, and then a viking funeral in Jonn&#8217;s backyard.  The only beverages allowed shall be Guinness and Guinness related products like Irish Car Bombs and Bear Fights.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I should probably buy a rain coat, since the 22 hour ferry ride from Ketchikan to Juneau looks to be rain-filled.  Rain I can live with, but if I get seasick, I will be one unhappy TSO.<\/p>\n<p>I swear the Jonothinghewont Inhale Sharkey motto\/photoshop contest is still coming.  Been a rough couple of weeks at Casa de TSO, with Mrs TSO losing her job.  (A good thing.)  Hope to do it within days of my return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just wanted to wish everyone safe travels and happy Thanksgivings.
