Approach Trail: Yes

[Old Hiker]

With the English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish all in such close proximity, how can you NOT make fun of each other?

And I'm sure we can let you into the Brit club - 'Honorary Member'

WHOO - HOO!! My grandmother was a HUGE Texan - she sent my mom a box of Texas dirt while my dad was stationed at Alconbury. My mom refused to go into the delivery room until the box was under the table! I was a breech baby, too.

I was in Northern Germany for 3.5 years. We went to the UK for sunshine and warm weather, believe it or not. Had a great time - natives were wonderfully wonderful, England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland!

I get a pay raise with "Honorary Membership", right? More good weather days on the trail? Better zero days? Something? Anything?
