I wondered where you’ve been! LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Home safely, but I really had to hang onto the steering wheel....it is really blowing! I need to get some pictures of my way home.

[oldteen]

I know that feeling.......hate it!

[AZamericonnie]

It was in 1982.

I didn’t know any better. LOL.

[luvie]

Me, too! VERY uncomfortable, especially when you try to smile! LOL!

Good evening, left....so you rode a camel? I rode one in Australia....interesting mode of transportation. I wouldn’t want to do too much of it. Strange gait they have. And they are crabby.

[Travis T. OJustice]

I’ve been super busy being a dad and dealing with the drama of 4 daughters and trying hard to be the best employee I can for my company (a true old school company that values it’s best asset, it’s people) and adding a bathroom on the house and trying to squeeze in some time for fishing.

It’s only times like these when everything is taken care of where I can grab a six pack, hang out with people like all you canteeners, and just let my blood pressure get back down to human levels.

God, I miss y’ll, you and the rest of the canteeners helped me through some rough times, whether you all know it or not!
