Shortly after this past thanksgiving our friend Cederq went silent and disappeared. After a few days of his silence, Phil, The Irish man and I all pulled together to solve the mystery of his disappearance. I was proud of us for doing that. I felt that we had not only accomplished something, but we had actually done a good thing. Many people started posting well wishes and there were many. It was nice to see so many people reaching out to him and I enjoyed reading what the people had to say. 
Now that I’m the person receiving them, I want everyone to know how much that means to me. Guys I live alone in a very remote area of Alaska. You see me posting here maybe a couple times a day or a week. There are times that I don’t talk to a human being for a week. I like being where I am at, and actually enjoy the life I have. I just want to say to all of you out here, how grateful I am for all of you and your kindness. Being so far away from family and friends with so little actual human contact, just having so many people offer caring words and encouragement means more than I am able to say to all of you. This is probably one of the best things that can be said about the internet. 
Thanks again to all of you and I am very very grateful.
