Big Sam left Seattle in the year of '92,
With George Pratt, his partner, and brother, Billy, too.
They crossed the Yukon River and found the bonanza gold.
Below that old white mountain just a little south-east of Nome.
Sam crossed the majestic mountains to the valleys far below.
He talked to his team of huskies as he mushed on through the snow.
With the northern lights a-running wild in the land of the midnight sun,
Yes, Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of nineteen-one.
Where the river is winding,
Big nuggets they're finding.
North to Alaska,
They're goin' North, the rush is on.

Good morning, everyone! The third day of August... just another 2-3 weeks of this heat to put up with (to up with put?) I have some Twining's "Prince of Wales" tea in my cup today. Slumming a bit, I guess, but I like it. And a bowl of rice, miso soup, and roast pork to get me started.

It's odd, but that doesn't seem to affect me. I can drink it all evening and sleep like a log. I wonder if coffee would affect me the same way?
