Folks All,
I must tell you that I had a splendid beautiful itinerary this past year, and enjoyed all of your company very very much. I feel so damn lucky to be able to have such stupid small fun and see this beautiful country, and get to have adventures with you people. It was a very satisfying summer as far as the challenge/cure ratio, some of our repairs were close to demented, but that is truly half the fun. I loved the Maupin interlude, I still love to bitch about Missoula's June snow, and I am eternally grateful to IFBWax, Bookwus, Birdibus, Elwood, Velokid1, for stepping up to the plate when I desperately needed to generate funds for the unexpected expenses of two funerals for two people I truly loved this year, thank you!

I couldn't be more pleased that this Summer's snow here in Missoula left such an impression on you. I'm looking forward to more interesting weather during your IAC '09 visit.Amskeptic wrote:EXPECT SNOW.chitwnvw wrote:You should go out and get it. Mitch and Melissa would put you up.
It's only snowed here twice since then, incidentally.

That was the swan song discretionary purchase from my good ol' days of having a real cough,cough,haaaaack, job.chitwnvw wrote:Colin can't be doing too bad, he just bought himself a brand new, practically, bus.
Now?
Friskies tuna'n'gravy bits ain't so bad, heck, three cans for a dollar with a peel-off lids so my shopping cart doesn't have to lug around a can opener. Produce boxes have a waxy coating for more comfortable rainy day sleeping comfort under the bridge. Get the plastic liners out of the McDonald's parking lot trash receptacles before they open to help waterproof your sneakers. . . Yeah, its a pretty new bus, but nobody believes I own it as they shoo me away or they'll call the cops. Soon as I find the keys, I'll show 'em.

How the heck can I garner sympathy if you just have to go tell people that I actually have 100Mbps cable and french-pressed coffee and gourmet pasta and a newspaper waiting at the table on Sunday mornings??
