I need to twist more of them together to make yarn and needle them together.<BR/><BR/>Bob, autobiographical? After two long years I figure you can tell. Answer, Largely yes. Everything in the Western Inn HAPPENED. I have a couple of nuggets to add to the final draft. (Gotta make it worth a re-read!)<BR/><BR/>Seems you told me you weren't a big fan of Joe Ely. Ely has a song called "Letter to L.A". '...don't forget, those lost souls in your shadows, they're friends of mine...' To me 'tales of woe' are a lot more compelling than 'tales of dough'. {Don't miss understand me. I met a guy yesterday that wrote a check for two brand new airplanes... a G4 AND a G5!}<BR/><BR/>I think "William George" has gotten pretty surley. In part because he's spoiled at work. And, as a defense mechanism. I've seen "Him" get that way before, in Teguc. "He" really is an easy going guy but when he's faced with futility, he recognizes it.<BR/><BR/>Graybeard! I've heard of you. Thanks for the comment. To answer your question, "Nope". My first two disapointments in avaition were related to "Rotor Floaters". While finishing A&P school I narrowly missed a job working on a Hughes 500 on a tuna boat in Panama! <BR/><BR/>Thanks Guys.

Sounds like me in my younger days. He's been through a lot, I suppose, that "William George." Rough times, maybe. Or does living on the road do that to ya? How much of that is autobiographical?<BR/><BR/>It's been a long time since I've interacted with such people (itinerants?) in any way. Long time since I've heard people's stories - we all have them, and they are all important and terribly fascinating...<I>to them.</I> And they're all worth listening to, if for no other reason than the person usually needs to be telling it.<BR/><BR/>One hopes for "William George" that he finds the peace and contentment that so far seems to be eluding him. The question is, will there be a happy ending to this saga?<BR/><BR/>Good stuff!Bob Barbanes:https://www.blogger.com/profile/12344068760904928223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478584564503318052.post-18053517681885784362009-01-10T19:45:00.000-06:002009-01-10T19:45:00.000-06:00A very compelling and easily identified with yarn....A very compelling and easily identified with yarn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
