I'M SICK OF THE RAIN AND I MISS TATSUDAS - Poem

 (Title by Aimee Shull)

I'm Sick of the Rain and I Miss Tatsudas


August has come and the rain’s still falling
Summer’s still gone and Fall is calling
Kept on the oil and the bill is rising
Love to burn wood, but the pile ain’t drying
 
I’m sick of the rain and I miss Tatusda’s
Sick of the rain and I miss Tatsuda’s
Sick of the rain don’t know where the sun is
Sick of the rain and I miss Tatsuda’s
 
The staff has all gone, out to Safeway
It’s not the same, here on Stedman
The south end is dead, ain’t no food there
Don’t want to go north, where’s the salad bear?

I’m sick of the rain and I miss Tatsuda’s
Sick of the rain and I miss Tatsuda’s
Sick of the rain, don’t know where the sun is
Sick of the rain and I miss Tatsuda’s.
 
We're all masked up, thanks to COVID
We're stuck on this rock, where's the TP?
The world's gone away, no more cruise ships
2020s a drag, such a bad "drip"

Sick of the rain and I miss Tatsuda's
Sick of the rain and I miss Tatsuda's
Sick of the rain, don't know where our sun is
Sick of the rain and I miss Tatsuda's

MAHONEY HEIGHTS HISTORY STORY - DN

  By Dave Kiffer For the Daily News A century ago this month, the Ketchikan City Council took its first steps to create Ketchikan's first subdivision. By the early 1920s, Ketchikan had already begun branching out north and south of the Downtown core. But land remained hard to develop along the shoreline. Houses and roads and businesses had to be built on pilings, an expensive and slow process. Local officials began looking at ways to move inland, if possible. Some houses and businesses had already started to move up Ketchikan Creek but it was basically no easier to build there than it was along Tongass Narrows. Joe Mahoney was a prospector who had come to Alaska during the 1897 Gold Rush and ended up in Ketchikan. One of the areas where he had claims was in the upper Ketchikan Creek area. Other miners also staked claims in that area, most notably James Davis who had 37 claims up there, according to Alaska state historian Rolfe Buzzell in a 1993 historic asse...

Gravina: A Tale of Two Islands

  Gravina : A Tale of Two Islands - History Story Considering that Ketchikan residents spend a lot of time staring a cross Tongass Narrows a t Gravina Island, we don't of ten know much a bout it. Yes, we take the a irport ferry a nd we fly out from the a irport. Maybe we have driven to the end of the "Road to Nowhere" or we have gone deer hunting on High Mountain. Residents of a certain a ge still talk fondly of the community picnics a t Black Sands Beach. But in general, Gravina is a like a prop to Ketchikan. Something to stare a t on a sunny day, but not much else. Of course, there is more to Gravina than that. For example, did you know that Gravina is two different islands ? Well, not now, but it used to be. First of f, there a re three distinct parts to Gravina that a re a ll geologically separate, a ccording to the 1973 federal report "Geology of Gravina Island, A laska." There is the eastern side, which is similar to the geology of R...

 http://www.sitnews.us/Kiffer/HermanLudwigsen/032520_herman_ludwigsen.html    Ketchikan Pilot Found Millionaire's Plane Crash in Boca de Quadra in Early 1950s   Most area residents are familiar with the plane crash of legendary pilot Harold Gillam in Boca de Quadra back in 1943. But almost exactly a decade later there was another crash in Boca de Quadra, barely a mile away from where Gillam's plane when down. This one involved Ellis Hall , the multimillionaire owner of Texas-based Condor Petroleum. Hall was on a vacation with his wife, two daughters and a family friend to Southeast Alaska. After visiting Juneau, Ellis was piloting his de Havilland DH 104 Dove, a large twin engine plane.
