'Was hoping to see the picture that was taken on the bridge across the "mighty" Columbia River outside of Wenatchee, WA. My fellow biker and young Irish cousin, Gavin, who was with me that day that our paths crossed is now back in Ireland. He will be following your trek across the states with great interest. Safe Journey and...."May the wind be at your back, etc. ....and may the bugs fall softly on your helmet. SlĂ inte!

You've been wearing that same stupid shirt for a week....don't you ever change it??....no wonder Elaine worries about you...it's all good!

Who is anonymous that was insulting your shirt? Whoever it was didn't check in with me to see if I worry about you! I know you are fine and dandy, and having a once in a lifetime experience! Keep having good times, and meeting interesting and kind people. Love, Elaine

As I recall, he has 3 of those shirts.... so, anonymous, not to worry..he won't be smelling up the country :)

Give me a break....a bear squashed your computer??!! Must be the same bear that used to eat my homework. Let's face it you just got tired of blog maintenance....except of course to make a post on a non-functional computer....it's all good.

Sorry about the computer. I have been enjoying your posts!

Maybe you should get one of those Panasonic ToughBooks. And keep it away from the food;)

PS I really like the Willie Nelson on Patriotic Acid look. I think it is especially becoming!

If you need a couple more of those shirts, let me know where to find them and i'll send them to you.
