I know, it's 'our' list but the folks who have the power to toss me off (and yes, I 'voted' them in) because , just because, gives them a lot more ownership than I have. It is their list. <shrug> Owsley and a lot of others are part of MY vw myth, most of them I never met but they are as real & linked to this VW I sitting in right now as anything else is. I can't even begin to count the number of conversations I had with John Muir sitting by the side of the road with his book open beside me, it was way later I found out he had died by then. That was real, that is part of MY vw myth. Sitting by the side of the road talking with dead guys with a 13mm in my hand is total vw.... MY vw, maybe not yours but it is mine. I could be in a Chevy van right now and none of this would matter or even be brought up <shrug> If MY vw experience/myth does not fit the list then show me the door but I really think this list and the vw's we share allows room enough for everyone's taste in music & myth. Enough of that... These beds... some nights I wake up great and others are like this morning where I have to ask if I can move enough to stand up. Maybe it's my age ... Does memory foam on the mattress really help? Rob becidarob@gmail.com in an electric spot in Twanoh State Park, Union, WA USA and it's NOT raining!!! |
