“Now that is a title that will open some eyes, let me tell you”, said Lola as she was just about done sweeping the remains of the last blog under the carpet.
“It tells of Marx and Lenin. Of Country and Flag, and why we are in this situation today, that some would like to call Alaska!”
“Gosh Lola. Listening to you listen to me, makes me want to listen to what you are saying, without really knowing what you are saying, or why! Just another proud American, I guess?”
“If you need to put a question mark on that last paragraph, then you are a doubter instead of a doer”, and with that said, she lit the latest cigarette, residing in the lightable, non-lightable line called, Mt Ejer Bavnehøj. The Danish Cigarette that wasn’t!
“You see Lola, the title came from one of my many perusals on the Internet. We can make a statement, just like we usually do, with something like why the people of Soldotna have all been seen on the streets of that beautiful City of Flowers and Children laughing, with something or other that all other Alaskans can identify with, you know like the Tail Bone of an Exxon Tanker Whale, and right smack dab in the middle of the sentence, there will be a Hyped-up link with something that is free but not so, you know?”
Lola was still way back where in that paragraph thinking about what was written about Soldotna, but what the hay, if they want others to think of their city like that, then….
“The great thing is going to be when we, in our extremely sneaky Alaskan way of doing things put a small line of text into the next blog like, “Free the 400,000 Anchorageinians ” in Denali Blue of course, then when they click on that link, they’ll be.- ”
“What in the world of David Redpath’s La Coco Mojo Trobada are you talking about?”
“We are losing track of your fabulous title with this blue madness! Now what in Sam Hill is an Anchorageinian?”
“Uh Lola. Why is your font size different than mine? I guess they say that some things get bigger when you get closer to them, huh?”
-sighing- “If only that were really true”, said Lola as she waited with bated breath and a Pina Colada, Anchorage Style, for him to admit to losing this blog around word 5, but wouldn’t, he just wouldn’t!
“An Anchorageinian is a resident of Anchorage. Any school boy living in Healy, that is Healy Alaska, knows that, but if you never were such a boy, and did not live in the Northern Climes of my Home Town, then why in the world are you leading me back down the Garden path of Soldotna anyway?”
Lola tried taking a long drag of her Mt Bavnehøj, but felt that those Danes should stop making cigarettes and concentrate on, on….now what is it they do there anyway?
“But when they click on that link, they will be getting something for free, and everyone wants something for nothing, don’t they? Even the most staunch Capitalist wouldn’t mind a free plastic, resembling metal, button to pin on their lapel, bearing the phrase, “I 8 at Barney’s Moosery in Downtown Soldotna, how about U? Then all of their friends and neighbors would want one just exactly like that! Where did you get a Fashion Statement like that? they’ll be asking themselves, and one of them might just say, Well, when I was strolling down the Promenade, which is located

dangerously close to the Moose is Loose Bakery, when, I encountered the blog by, “our names here” and-“
“This blog is suspiciously beginning to reek more of Capitalism and not the purported Freebies that you’ve been touting all along!” said while wondering if those Copenhagians were just as frustrated living in their big City as the Anchorageinians seemed to be?
I don’t know about you Lola, but just seeing The Moose is Loose Bakery on that map of Soldotna is making me dream of those Maple Bars the Caribou Woman told us about!
“Yeah, she said. “Kind of makes you sorry that Soldotna, with all of its Garden City Charm, is not right next door to where ever you’ve told others that we live, is it?
“Hey Lola, pass me one of those Danish non-smokes, won’t you?”
-and as this muddled blog fading to black, we see those hapless Alaskans “trying to” enjoying their Socialistic Danish Non-Volcano Smokes with Herr Bunkinan saying, “Kind of dark in Denmark in October, isn’t it Lola?……
while Lola replies,”not exactly the Garden City of Soldotna, but it’ll do for some, I guess?….”
