Marc,
Sure, I approve. You can also drink Night Train, or Mad Dog. That way
there is more of the good stuff for those who
care. Sniff--grin.
I see that you are reading Turtledove's latest. I have to wait for my
copy to arrive at the Public library. BTW, Every time
I hear George W. shout FREEDOM! I think of your hero in Turtledove's
recent books.
Camping? The last time I camped out was at Fort Belvoire, Virginia in
1952. I don't miss it a bit.
Have fun!
Jerry

You guys DID behave yourselves and thank you!
I had a great time camping. I did not take a single picture. I just
sat and read and sometimes we cooked. My wife and I disputed a bit
over WHY we bought ice every day: I wanted it for G&T's and she
watned it to keep the meat from rotting, but, heck, if you've been in
the service, rotten meat is something which occurs from time to time.
We had a titanic rainstorm last Friday which drenched us well. I kept
my books and cameras dry though my pipes got wet and my tobacco pouch
got soaked. All is back to norm today. But I do miss the evening
mist coming in over those slash hills as the fire starts to draw down
to coals.
I first camped at this site in 1970. I have gone there for decades
thereafter, with long gaps. It was great to be back.
Pictures? Nah! Why take pictures of a bunch of fat rednecks around a
campsite redolent of Appalachian living styles? I had a fine vintage
wine along (a Franzia bladder, for Jerry Lehrer's sniffy approval:
when we go camping, we buy box wine and tear the box apart so the
bladder will fit better into the cooler). But, for the most part, I
spent the evenings reading Turtledove's latest whilst swilling G&T's.
Damn, but I miss it. I gotta go back, and soon.
