Thanks Kate for the kind words. No one has called me "Sweet William" in a long time. I would love to live in the country, but am fearful I would end up strung up in a tree by some locals who may not be as enlightened as yourself. That may be to much conditioning from TV., and movies, but most gay men I have known who live outside large cities are pretty closeted. That ain't me! I mean, I don't go swishing through town, but if someone asks, I'll tell 'em. I mean, my license plates alone, which are such a tongue in cheek statement: FIT4AQN. Same reason I will most likely never see Idaho. Usually I'm amazed at how many people never just KNOW I'm gay. I actually like the drive along hwy 2 thru Sultan, Goldbar, and Index. Index had a huge gay campground resort for years. I understand the locals in town were very grateful for all the monies brought in by all the campers. About 5-10 years ago, I think it was state land, leased at like $1.00 a year, the lease was lost, and a fund drive was done, and several hundred thousand dollars was raised to buy land about an hour north. I'm not sure where, I never went to either one. Picture a campground with chandeliers, and you get a pretty good idea of what it is probably like. I would, however, love to meet you sometime. Are you planning on coming down on Saturday for our first "Meet" in Normandy Park? Hope so. Take care, Bill -----Original Message----- From: mailing-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mailing-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kate Triplett Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2005 10:11 AM To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: IML: Sweet William's rant <SNIP<SNIP<SNIP<>>Well, that all being said, I must be off now for a second cup of coffee, a cigarette, a boatload of sychotropic meds, a quick shower, then off to work, where I will take great joy in rejecting someone's $900.00 expense report for lack of a $2.00 parking receipt. Have a great day everyone!<SNIPSNIP> ................jeez, Bill, sure hope you get off the shop rag soon............and I FERVENTLY hope I never have to have you approve an expense account for me (giggle)!!! Ever considered moving to a different part of the world? Up here we are not too tolerant of druggies messing with our rides. Even rides that aren't NEARLY as exquisite and wonderful as Doris is. It's kinda nice to live where personal property is respected! (and protected by messr's S&W) Still haven't found out who the "other" Imperial in the neighborhood belongs to, but I got a look at it in front of the bank a couple days ago - driver is real tall, skinny and an owly lookin' SOB - gave me a dirty look for so much as looking at his Imperial..... I think it's a '73, drk green with green interior, pretty straight but dirty - she is a daily driver. Sounds like he got the exhaust leak fixed, though!
