Hi Don,

True story at the mine is I usually am chomping on a stogie. I'm not really a smoker, but when I'm out at the mine I like to spit and cuss and smoke cigars and drink whiskey and just generally be an old grungy Alaskan prospector. But while we were filming they asked me not to smoke the cigar because " we don't want to send the wrong message"! Yup, people are going to see old Steve smoking that cigar, and run right out and get some and start smoking up a storm. Such is the awesome power of being a star!

It is not working with my wife, though. I tell her I'm a star so I should not have to take out the garbage but I'm getting no mileage out of it.

Have a politically incorrect Merry Christmas!!!!

I always thought that smoking cigars and drinking whiskey kept the mosquitoes away.

Steve, when I was driving longhaul truck, I had a run up to yellow knife, just as the spring thaw was starting, I was whereing long Johns, a long sleeve Livi Shirt, and a livi jacket. Those mosquitoe were bitting me in the back alll the way threw, felt like someone with a 50cc seringe. I finally rubbed myself down with desiel fuel, that did the trick, they were buzzing me, but would not land and bite. I finally got my load unloaded and headed back dowm to Great Falls MT. and stoped at the truck stop and took me a nice long hot shower. I had welps all over my back. Grubstake
