He's either crashing his airplane into mountains, falling through ice on his snowmoblile, or rescuing hapless climbers on Mt. Denali, if he's not getting busted for flying booze up into the bush. (See National Enquirer for more info.)

Bob overheard me being interrogated by the Customs/Homeland Security Gestapo at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and quickly came to my side. "I've traveled all over the world," he said, "and I've never had to deal with such a bunch of assholes as I do everytime I return to America."

When he got set up and busted for flying booze up to Barrow, the Feds, represented by about 5 different agencies busted him big time: they cleaned him out--bank account, airplane, house, everthing. He had to start all over again.

Still, he's got a positive attitude and he loves his country.
