I’m in the Anchorage airport on my way home. But don’t tell anyone . . . I’m smuggling hazardous waste on the flight. The toxic waste is 80 pounds of rocks from the beaches in Prince William Sound, Alaska. The photo above tells the story quicker than I can with words. Let me just tell you that it wasn’t hard to find more than enough rocks covered with stinky crude oil. I could have sunk the boat. Gotta run for now, more later.
