Dan Bruce Farewell Party

[The Weasel]

I don't mean to be Waspish, but this thread has become about Fording the Hudson, or perhaps the Delaware (although not at Dover). In light of Dixi's request, we should each make our behavior a good Model. A word to the wise.

namely the ALDHA COMPANION. a few prominent members get to the editors and you're out! Uncle Johnny's Hostel comes to mind.

While I've only met Wingfoot once, on his "golden anniversary" hike in the smokies, I would have to say he seems to be two people. On one hand he is the Left wing, Bush bashing, intollerant, political, nutjob, that can't seem to see that the trail and politics are generally two different subjects. As thin skinned as he is, he is willing to place services like Uncle Johnny's in his guide when the ALDHA Companion won't. He didn't seem to take sides on the trail, only pollitics. The thing that does bother me about him is that he always seemed to bash people as cold hearted capitalists. Seeing him sell everything he ever touched on his website strikes me as capitalism with a capital C. I would say he is God, but I think he would say he is better than that.

There aren't really many external or social costs to him selling all that junk which is what I bet he fussed about when he bashed capitalists. It's a rather benign form of capitalism. I was impressed that people bought the stuff at those prices. Nobody bought the hat, I'm glad, he should keep that.

I bought the hat.

It will be at Trail Days in a secure area; one of the bearded lady booths from the fair, you can't see her, but you hear the hawker annoucing her presence. My Aunt Teresa retired, so she's letting me use her booth.

One dollar to see it.

Two dollars fifty cent to smell it and get a picture of you smelling it.

Five dollars you can wear it for a brief moment and get your picture taken.

Ten dollars and you can do the nasty while wearing it, but you got be quick and no munky stuff on it or there will be a $10 cleaning fee.
