Petition To Convince Alaskan Not to Change His Handle

[reed scott]

So you live in Washington State now. BFD! You made your bones on the frontier in the great state of Alaska. You ARE the Alaskan!

 

[Stefan Mikes]

Richard used to be sailing in Alaska...

All the more reason! WTF sails in Alaskan waters? A hero that's who!

I didn't think this would raise such a kerfuffle. Perhaps I should request another change when the option is available to: "Richard F. aka Alaskan"

 

[Saratoga Dave]

“Alaskan” is pretty iconic, would be hard to give that up, especially since you’ve certainly earned it.

I thought at first glance that could be the Mendenhall in the pic, but I think it would be tough to get your boat in there! I guess there’s one or two more pieces of ice in Southeast, come to think of it.

That is the South Sawyer Glacier up at the head of Tracy Arm Fjord

(I probably should request the change to "Stephan Mikes" since most American friends of mine cannot visualise having that popular European name spelt with "f"...)
How come Americans write "draft" instead of "drapht"?! ("draught")

You can take the e-biker out of Alaska, but you can't take the Alaskan out of the e-biker.

Now you understand why I never change my handle or avatar. Everywhere on the net, I am ArtDeco , the guy in the tux. And Richard the Alaskan's story is worth finding and should be easy to find.

Draught is for drinking!

Phemales....
Ah, Randall, are you riding a Phathom? Haha!

I requested of the admin to leave my handle as is and thus it remains Alaskan. I am uncharacteristically easy to influence today, probably the result of duking it out on a controversial thread the past three days. I just don't have it in me to resist or argue any more, or at least for a while

I requested of the admin to leave my handle along and thus it remains Alaskan. I am uncharacteristically easy to influence today, probably the result of duking it out on a controversial thread the past three days. I just don't have it in me to resist or argue any more, or at least for a while

Absolutely. Pick your battles wisely.

So I am still "Alaskan" However, in the interest of full disclosure, I have never once ridden a bicycle in Alaska. I spent over 30 summers there working, but always on a boat.

There are approximately 50 tidewater glaciers in Alaska.

Close enough!

Good Choice!!
If you keep extending the length of your rides from Washington, you might hit Alaska one day.

Ride the Alcan, I heard it's paved now a good bit of the way!
