In a few minutes, I'm getting in the truck and starting my journey northward. Any BTer who'd like some time off is welcome to come and feed me loobster, bear, or beaver in exchange for a place to stay. Oh yeah--I eat the four-legged beaver, not that other one.

Tonight I’ll be in Spring Lake, New Jersey, visiting friends and such. Tom, I figure my truck will need new air conditioning by the time I get to VAHMONT, so please, have plenty of .223 ammo ready to ventilate the old girl.

Safe travels Jon!

Happy Trails to you, Jon!

Happy trails Jon...what's your route so we know where you will be and which BTers you may cross paths with?

Watch out Vahhhmont - here comes Jon!!
Have a safe trip - I'm sure there will be many stories to come

Jon...you're weird, but we like you that way! :-)

Have a great trip. Can't believe you eat bear and beaver. Isn't bear supposed to be bitter? Can't say I ever met anyone who ate beaver so don't know how that would taste. Do you just eat it raw or do you cook it? LOL

Welcun too verhmontt.

I've got you all beat on the hill billy thing here in the Ozarks. They've been know to eat possum around home!!! Oh, yuck. You can have the racoon too. Nasty. The French people who settled my home town area would have a "bullione" (Sp?) pronounced "boo-yahn". They'd boil the dern thing while they played pitch and drank beer. The smell was awful...because of the cooking racoon, of course. Shirts were optional for both sexes. Fathers would train there young boys to retrieve beer from the fridge, hand it over, and then hold out thier t-shirt so thier dad's could use it to twist the cap off. I kid you not! Oh, the stories I could tell. BTW I grew up eating wild game so I'm not real squeamish about it.

Christine,

Yu ain't from Bo Dark (Bois D'Arc), is ya? I grew up in MO and wenta college in Springfield.

Hey, Jim. ("Hey" being the substitute for Hello."

No. I grew up in Potosi south of St. Louis. Where did you grow up? A couple of my high school friends didn't have electricity and indoor plumbing until 1970's!

Guess you know Southwest Missouri State is now MISSOURI State!

Christine, backatcha, (yet another substitute for hey)

I grew up in Lamar, the birthplace of Harry Truman. Learned a little about diving in the pool there, cleaning the deep end. I did know about the SMSU name change to MOST---from the alum news. Maybe I should copyright MOST, I just thought of it...........
