Clearly this proves that I am so slim, svelte, fit and dashing, that Anita feels I need to "bulk up" for the wall!

Donuts and beer!

Man, how I would love to pull up to the El Cap Bridge in one of those babies!

On my first post-divorce renaissance trip to the Valley in the fall of 1995, my folks had some sort of tax shelter investment with GO Vacations, a place that rented RV's. I think it's gone T.U. since. But if I went at "low season" which was after September 25th or so, I could rent a camper van at ten cents on the dollar, in other words about five bucks a day.

I used to park it in the old Centre of the Universe, the parking lot where the Train Wreck currently resides. [You know, the temporary building that went up after the January 97 flood?]

I remember sitting inside it one night, drinking a beer, and the ranger knocked on the door.

"You guys aren't sleeping in there, are you?"

"Um .... no! We have a campsite over at Camp 4."

After that, we kept the lights off after dark. ;)

If you ever do, I'll feel compelled to blow that beast sky-high. You are warned!

Hey, hoser, break a leg! :-)

I'll pass on the pitons, piss on the sentiment for old Peton Pits, and soon it'll be Firday nite after. Then I'd be able to reveal how much I've had to drink this aft.

Party up and party down, clown!

"Oh, no, sir, we have a site in 4!" Love it.

Mebbe. I'm bored stiff laying around healing and I'm not packing like I was 'posed to be. To bad Anita can't be there. We'd put up a sign board "Ask a Gimpy"
