Ha! You'de have to ask Dan.

Flower petals? Flower pedals? Bingo!

will there be a checkpoint that requires us to punch a native american in the face and then steal his wallet? because that's just not cool.

No. You will have to give him a smallpox-ridden blanket after he helps you survive the winter.

Happy 4th of July!

Current forecast is a high of 88 with a 40% chance of rain. But that'll probably change ten times before then.

Rain or shine, folks! Manifest Destiny!

I don't mind rain. I'll still hit MD up if a deluge begins on Sat.

No true trailblazer minds a little bit of weather.

Woohoo!

can we caulk the wagons and ford the stream?

Oh ****. I work Saturdays. 'Til 6:00 PM.

...Race is at 3:00 PM. QUICK! someone loan me a time machine or clone me!

Seriously though, I'm not sure how to swing that. If it is slow I'll see about getting the afternoon off.

I'm too jet-set for you people and your cycle race.




(WAAAAAH! I wish I could be there! *sob*)

I spent all my money on ammo and now I can't eat.

Also, will we be required to kill Buffalo?


What's on tap for Saturday night?

Yeah, we keep accidentally leaving that out...
