BUSH DIARY NOVEMBER 1995

BUSH DIARY OCTOBER 1995:

10-3: OJ was acquitted.  I can only hope to have that kind of lawyer talent available if I were ever in that much trouble.

10-3: It is official, Barrow official voted itself WET. Native Village of Barrow is so upset that they are debating eliminating gthe city government (first white Mayor of Barrow) George is Mayor of the Borough. At any rate one of their arguments was that the ballots were not translated into Inupiat.  Um, have the ballots ever been translated?  No. Time to start.

I ran my little report comparing the last dry weekend to the first wet weekend.  The last dry weekend had five ETOH related visits.  The first wet weekend had 13 ETOH visits.

I heard that the airlines have several pallets of booze waiting to be shipped here after November first.  Oh Lordy.

10-12: Permanent Fund was announced in the amount of $990.00.  Alaska Air offered their usual offer of three air fares.  I got in line and purchased the tickets. Cannot use them until January.  There are no blackout dates and must be used by December 1996.  No problem.

Happy Birthday Charlie!! Called him to wish him happy and got into a mild argument about how old he is.  I was, as usual, computing from a wrong date.  Erk.

Halloween:  I got a treat at work.  The area techie folks flew up with the new SCO UNIX computer.  They are still doing a little fine tuning.

10-23:  House dream with a burglary.

Monday: was a very busy day, six discharges over the weekend, a bit of transcription.  Some fruitless running around for paper work to get two billing people hired. Not sure how I was tasked with this, perhaps I did not walk fast, frown or rattle papers enough.

Got my annual exam today, tetanus good for ten years, annual flu shot, labs etc.  Mammo scheduled for November.  They fly the techs and machinery up here and it is done in the Health building. 

Court house:  Tim went to court all prepared today prepared to be called to testify as a witness for the cab driver.  He was riding in a cab that got stopped by PSO for passing a school bus flashing red lights.  Tim was surprised to discover that such is a class B misdemeanor.  Fine 1000 dollars.  Courts are a bit backed up.

Sudden trip: Tim's ticket is burning a hole in his pocket, he and Bradford are going to Anchorage for some down time.
We had a one hour power outage on Saturday morning.  The UPS power cell began beeping until the power came back on.  Glad to know something worked as it should.
The power is not clean and there are surges so we have the computer on that UPS.


Okay that is all for November.  Goodnight, Folks.
