CRAZY HORSE

Isn't that a titillating thing to enter with...'Why were we there?'...thinking that most are asking the question, 'back to Oregon?'...no, it is on a totally another minuscule thing that happened...you see, while we showered at the Gahr's Bend Palace, their shower thinger, that kept the water from splashing everywhere...had a map of the world on it...and, of course, the Horse...would spend his time not only cleansing himself, but gander at the World before him...and wonder 'Why on earth were we way over in Vietnam in the 1st place?'...yes, sure, the bloody domino theory...but, really, WTF?...going that far, and losing so many lives, theirs and ours...without a doubt, the biggest blunder in the history of the USA.... well, right after eradication all us Injuns ... One more map thang...Ukraine is HUGE, and Russia is biting off a bit more than they can handle... OK, back to the here and now...the Friends Trip was a huge success...we saw so many Friends, and ...

As we finalize our Friends Tour...thanks to all of our FRIENDS that met up with us...I can't express in words the gratification that we have for you all...Salem, Reunion folk, Lincoln City, and Bend...just terrific...and yes, the Snookis and Gahrs, for housing the Boss and Horse...we did not drive up Cosmo, who is mighty ticked off at us... Next year, if we still have him...we may drive this way, he will be the vehicle...?...the last day...the gals are hitting the water, via an inter tube...on the real Mirror Pond...as the boys have a breakfast... Oh yea, the diet...ah, what diet?...I will be very interested to step up on the scale...to see how much poundage back...I regained...boo...you'd think we would have been better...but, dang, it all started with the Padington Pizza...oh well, it is what it is...and we shall return to normalcy... The MLB west....man, it will take on a new meaning...as the Bums and DBacks play each other for a set...something's got to give...for crazi...

Morning all, from the very cool morning in Central Oregon...on it's way to like 86*...as we wind down the FRIENDS TOUR...well, there was a blip in the road...ah, more than that...a crash that killed a driver, and shut down the Hwy 20...so we had to backtrack...and went back to Snookis for the nite...'We're back!'...much to their chagrin...thus, one less day at the Gahrs... Highlight of the day, was a convertible ride in their '66 Bonny...oops, '66 Catalina...to the Sunriver Lodge...where we used to own a lot and a condo...back in the day...the weather is totally bodacious...shortly thereafter, the Crosses arrived and we talked and ate (perhaps enjoyed a beverage, or two)...and reminisced so...terrific to catch up and laugh...today, the ladies go to Eagle Crest and bike...and the guys play golf at Bend CC...where I have to rent clubs...and balls, and shoot...you know I have a built in excuse to play like Bozo... 10 weeks to go until Election Day...BUT, the next m...

Greetings from the very warm and sunny Oregon Coast...can't recall the last time we laid on the beach there, er, here...it is that great...such a wonderful time in this hotel, built on the side of a cliff...our room is just splendid...with the crashing of the waves just feet away... the view is exemplary....with it's own restaurant, well, we are spoiled... Recall I thought I already had a reservation...and they couldn't find it?...well, upon arrival, they did...they spelled the name wrong, and had the first name last, and the last first?...and spelled both of them wrong...rong...ha ha...anyway, we owed nothing, as they applied both to the Rez...you confused?...yea, they were too.... Many thanks to the Snookis, who put up with us for 4 days...yes, we start to smell after 3...as we continue on our FRIENDS Tour...thus far, it has been rad...Mo's must be on the menu today...Boss had a great time at her reunion...and we paid for it yesterday, if you know what I mean... Other...
