We don't give a damn how they do it OUTSIDE.



You can't blame me for expecting to see a "Christmas tree."
;) ;) ;)






For those who don't know what a "Christmas tree" in oil field parlance is, here's an image of one and a link to its definition (courtesy of Schlumberger):

I Have It Made In Alaska

An Essay by Willis Eschenbach


In the fall of 1964 I started college at the University of California at Berkeley, but I hated it. I lasted one year, and as soon as school let out in June of 1965 I went to Alaska to seek my fortune. My cousin and I had heard that fishermen in a place called Kodiak Island were making big money up north. I had a few dollars I’d made working as a cowboy. So I grabbed my guitar and pack and bedroll and I went north to be an Alaska fisherman and strike it rich.

I’d never been on a jet before...
