Those are not the world's best, nothing wrong with them, I buy a half dozenl of them every time I'm in Grand Marais. The best donuts I ever had were those made by the wife of writer Sigrud F. Olson. I took a class in college called Significant American Nature Writers, one of the books we read was The Singing Wilderness, the class loved it so much that Dr. Philip R.Saurer (a long time friend of Sig's) took us on a field trip to visti the master word smith, one snowy Sat. in November. As we sat at the feet of my favorite nature writer of all time, his lovely wife Elizabeth served coffee and her wonderful homemade donuts. A few years later I again visited Sig & Elizabeth to get a few more books autographed., Sig remembered the class visiting but, not any particular students. His wife however remembered me, she said, "You were the one that really liked my donuts, aren't you". I visited the Olson's many times, loved every minute I spent in their company. They encouraged me to give life in Alaska a try as they both loved visiting their son up here. On my Honeymoon I took my bride to meet them. Reading and then meeting Sig changed my life in many ways for the better, I will always be grateful for that.
Me, I'm just trying to outlive my first wife, then I'll be free to do all kinds of wild & crazy things, maybe even start that money maker Chinchilla Ranch I have always dreamed of.
