Hey, giggles, I noticed your sig ... at center camp last year they had a table where you could make your own holy book. It had little things from many different isms that you could peel off and stick in your book. Very nice piece of interactive stuff. I liked it.

I'm torn. I've heard it's pretty good and there's a sort of invitation from some regulars. but doing it twice--hm, maybe not. Going just to 4th of July and missing these wonderful posters--hm, maybe not. Not to mention persuading the mrFishist not to do the event. Going just to bm--not ideal but after 3 years of failure, I'd like to get it right once.

Well, BB is just a weekend. Probably just haul the pop-up trailer out there. Might be too far for just a weekend, though, thats the part that I am still debating. It will depend on how hectic things are at work.

Yeah, Well I'm taking off the last monday in June. (27th) The next monday is the 4th. I'd like to take off the 1st, but I accrue leave so slowly. The dust is less, good for Mr.Fishist. But his thing is being a medic--he might go crazy.

Maybe we should keep in touch on the issue--I'm in Berkeley so it might make sence.

Well, the booths are downright homey compared to the inside of the tank truck...

I actually was awarded the "Shit Detail" in Vietnam, for awhile (before they decided I would make a better open field target). I would have to take the barrells out from under the shitters (often while the shittee was doing his business), load it onto a truck whose bed was shoulder high (try not slopping that!), drive the truck to a location "outside the wire", pour the contents in a trench, douse the muck with diesel fuel, set it on fire, and then rake it while it burned to make sure it all burned cleanly...

Hey! I was a burner even then!
