Speaking of camping: The Bloomin Good Nacogdoches VW show is scheduled for
March 25 this year. Same as last year. Assume you guys are going to get
together for a campout at Mission Tejas State Park. Time to start making
plans now. We are going to give a trophy for the greatest distance DRIVEN
in an aircooled bus. In addition, some trophies just for the bus
guys/gals. Also, for Dan; had a guy ask me for information on the campout
before the show. Don't think he has a bus but does have a bug: Here is
his e-mail address pariahsmirnoff@xxxxxxx if you want to contact him if
and when you guys come up with any details about camping out before or
after the show.
ya'll should of come to the koa after the show hardley anyone showed up. i think it was because robb wasn't there.
brainstorm: we should have a campout when it gets warmer. we can all sit around the fire and tell stories. i don't know sounds kinda old school but fun.

"Fatal Justice" is one of my favorites as well. I have heard it a couple times now and still enjoy it. I think it is the settings. I telling of "Fatal Justice" after the ES show was classic. Even with the mangled toe Denis was sporting.

You've GOT to hear the "Fatal Justice" story from Denis! I laughed so hard my face and sides hurt! Still waiting on BlockBuster to send that movie to us...its been PENDING for months! Yep, Denis and Jan are some of the coolest folks around. It has been my great pleasure to have made their aquaintance...

"The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the
mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer-- they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer."
