I dont know where to begin…  I realize now that I have so many misconceptions about the island and the people who call it home.  Hear people talk and you take it at face value because you dont know any better, but so far it’s all been a crock of shit!  First, it was the ATC being military, that was dispelled the first time I visited the trading post and now I’m one of them…then it was the Howlers being the kind of people I stay far away from.

I met a Howler today who set me straight without even knowing it.   She talked about how she just got back from a run to the mainland to save a family and how they look after people, especially the new ones.   All she asked for in return was for me to keep my ear to the ground and let her know when shit is about to pop off.  And then she gave three cans of food.   I ate well and I’m not hungry anymore.
