John Kangas is a long time Olympian who, to paraphrase Hunter S. Thompson, has spent most of his adult life in a profoundly active balance of Terror with local law enforcement. In the pages of Kangas Repoor John un-apologetically tells his (mis)adventures in salvaging bits and pieces of our disappearing architectural and nautical history lovingly built by craftsmen from bygone days. In today's environmentally sensitive Olympia it is possible to argue John is an eco-warrior hard at work reducing our carbon footprint by de-constructing and re-purposing: Then, and quite possibly to this day, the cops and courts think of him as an incorrigible scofflaw. The Man is right.
The Kangas Repoor is a smart, funny, honest and subtlety spiritual memoirs of a true Olympia Iconoclast. A must read.
