Matthew Good says, “Gonna die in Coquitlam.”
This time of year, I used to say, I’m gonna die in Shaktoolik.

The fact that you know of Matthew Good just blew my mind completely. Oh you layered, layered soul.
He’s amazing.
I’d rather die on the Chattahoochee, on a hot July night, not on that cold tundra you have pictured above. Brrr!
One year I was caught in a ground storm between Shaktoolik and Koyuk. So cold that when I reached inside my parka hood to adjust my ski goggles, the plastic crumbled.
So when stuff like that happened, did you shake your fist at the sky and cuss a blue streak, or did you just laugh?
I was twenty-one and immortal. Until I breathed in negative seventy or eighty Fahrenheit with the windchill. Then I was just thinking, oh, this is what I’m gonna die tastes like.
