Two flyswatters to the contestant who can tell me the name of the newsguy on the tv in Hoover's 'cute' picture.

Cndymn...correctamundo on the Baby Doe info. Gash and I have actually been to (through) Leadville, CO. There was an abandoned, old building with Leadville Feed Seed and Bag Company painted in big black letters on the side. That stuck with me, for some reason, and years later that's what we called our band when we were in Viet Nam. But, you can call us Leadville for short.
Your weather report is fascinating, just fascinating, just fasc.......................... .............................. .........................*##&* &^!@# Sorry. My keyboard froze up. Had to set it out her in that warm California sun.

Sug, remember this night? Whoops, parked on top of the barn again. I thought I remembered that one as being your fault, but... It seems like it was the night we got into an argument because you were criticizing my driving skills. Then you went in your room and passed out.

I stewed about it for a while, and then decided that I could probably shove the wood burner, which was right outside your bedroom door, into your room and crush you. As I was shoving it through the door, the legs caught on the threshold and it tipped over, falling short of your bed but falling on one of your scuba tanks and clipping the valve.

The tank didn't exactly shoot through the wall, so I thought you were kind of over reacting when you jumped up and we fought our way out to the kitchen, where you grabbed a cast iron skillet, smacked me across the back of the head, and then I went to sleep. Although, it could have been another night. Man, we used to have a good time.

The mural on the side of the building at Liberty and State Streets in Ann Arbor is signed Richard Wolk and is dated 1984. It's a painting take on the Mount Rushmore presidential sculptures. Sorry I didn't get a photo, my camera is kaputs and I've yet to replace it.

OG and rest of the gang: the KOA Campground in the Detroit area is called the Detroit Greenfield KOA. It's actually in Ypsilanti, across the lake from my condo, on Bunton Road. I've never been in it but I've driven by many times. It looks quite nice. It's on a small lake, more like big pond. Ford lake is about a half a mile north and the Ford Lake Park boat launch is right there. You can check out the information at KOA.com and click on #3. The KOA is about 10 miles from downtown A2 and 30 miles from downtown Detroit. I-94 is a couple of miles from the campground.

I don't know if KOA allows camping in refrigerator boxes. They might be a bit too upscale for that. There's a trailer park next door. You could rent rooms there. I got run out of the trailer park knocking doors during the last election. It seems there were a lot of people for CHANGE in that park, just not the CHANGE I represented. Lot's of fightin' and f+*#!*g going on. We'd probably feel right at home. It might seem like a flashback. I have a nice deck you guys(and gals) can sleep under. You don't mind raccoons, muskrats, and frogs, do you? It'd be true lake front living and you could fish from your box.

Well, John Denver lived here and had to go  to California to die. Go figure. We were just out in San Diego and I just don't dig all the traffic.

John Collier, you still have the negatives of the shoot with Nancy? (nudes) The 5th precinct stole the photos during one of their infamous drug busts. Could'nt find anything else. Probably taped them up on the backside of a stall door. Sure hope to hear from you soon. I'm at greyhat2008@yahoo.com. Discretion and anonimity absolutely.

Hey Sug, If the tires hadn't touched onto the gravel on the edge of that curve, I know you could have taken it at 90 mph. Besides, I didn't think you were listening to me. I'm pretty sure they slipped something into our drinks that night. Bastards.

1KD, scratch the cardboard boxes. I just put some money down on this motor home. It needs an engine, tranny and wheels, but I was thinking that if everybody could send me some money every month, I can get it together by June. I think it used to belong to some rock star because it came with this guitar.

Anybody that wants to stay in it during the reunion would just have to pay $5 per night, or $6 for couples. That includes wine and a sandwich. 1KD, I'll split the take with you if I can park it at your condo.

Hoover, if you're planning on using it for like...a love palace to try and set a new record, there is a bunk at the other end you can use for say, $15 for the whole weekend. Not every gal you bring in gets a sandwich though. I want to be straight about that.
