Mystery guest in Alaska

Whose eyeball IS that?
It's Karl Vick's. The Alaska corruption trials lured him north. See the FBI surveillance videos yourself, as seedy as can be, taken in Room 604 of the Baranof Hotel in Juneau, the state capitol. An oil guy bribing state legislators to hold down state taxes on oil companies.
But that's not the news. The news is, Karl Vick is visiting us. The first night, we met at Humpy's, a divey kinda place with decent food, cold beer. Another night, we managed to feed him at home, with Pete's marinara sauce. He's off to Iliamna to check out the Pebble Mine controversy. We hope to see him again before he heads south to sunnier, and warmer, climes. He's lookin' good, fellow Knights. And writing up a couple of good stories out of the far North. We sat around our kitchen table, dialing phone numbers to Knights, but only succeeded in leaving a phone message or two. Wishing you all well!/ Pete, Kathleen, and for a brief time, Karl

PS: Here's a better picture of us.
