Craig, don't take offense, but I had this image of you in Your Amphicar,
in Alaska, in the water, with you standing, holding on to the steering
wheel with one hand, with your whale spear in the other, chasing the
Whales for tonight's diner, being passed by Walrus, and with Polar
Bears, floating on their backs taking it all in.
Sorry, but glad to see that we have someone going after a Tiger in the
Top 50. I think you will find the list, and Tiger United site a great
help in getting Yours.
Good Luck.
