Let's Chat!!!

[nighthawk]

I'm in ..

have my browser set to auto-reload every minute .. this is a good idea

[nighthawk]

Yes .. need to be on deck at about 4:50 .. making kunch while we're chatting

[nighthawk]

It's 2pm now .. here

[nighthawk]

Nope .. it's about 32 degrees f and sunny .. the roads are bare ,, nice night for driving .. didn't know you had rain in California .. thought it was ALWAYS sunny

[nighthawk]

And I miss the Pacific ocean and the mountains .. it's been difficult to leave all that behind. I may return some day but for now I'm becoming content with just being where I am .. wherever

You can see some scenery .. starting about halfway down the page .. timwees.com/ph.htm. It's green in thee summer and is often delightfully warm and sometimes HOT. Toronto sends quite a bit of pollution our way in the summer .. that's not cool. The breeze of the lake has a tinge of ocean to it .. but the salty smell is entirely missing.

I came here at the end of my rope and absolutely determined to recover. It's a long story Shelley and this afternoon hasn't enough space to even begin. I came into town with blue smoke coming up off the back of my motorcycle.Twas just how I felt. My friend got me a job driving cab and I've been steadily rebuilding myself ever since. Doin okay with it too.

David and Jennifer are my kids .. everyone else are folks I met along the way .. it is nice here. I'd like to get another bike .. nothing big or fancy 500-600 cc's would do nicely .. and get out into the country more in the summer time. Bought a tent last year and have yet to use it.

I do like camping and getting down to the basics. Last time I did any serious camping was at a Rainbow Gathering in BC. I had a drum and I remember sitting up all night and drumming. A young lad had tried to swim across the lake and had dissappeared. There was a huge party going on down at the beach, oblivious to the tragedy, and I sat up drumming all night. Seems to be my story.

No they didn't find him .. not that I heard anyway. I remember the police being there. And his family were there. And I remember his mom looking me in the eye and saying thank you. I didn't know him at all .. not to see him .. but I sure felt his dillema that night.

Later, I played around with my new computer's built-in camera and took embarrassing photos of myself to show all my friends. Hope they'll still remain my friends after that.

What did the rest of you do for New Year's Eve? Any resolutions for 2006?

That sounds interesting!

This communications technology is really opening up. I was talking through skype with my son and his new lady in London yesterday and we also had our webcams going. It was fascinating to talk and see at the same time.

Do you have a web cam .. or some disital photos .. that works
