dear wandering eyes
a camper society is a great idea --
what with the developments in technology these days i am sure it would not
be difficult to keep in touch ...
i suggest we start by asking each westie/vanagon owenr we meet to purchase
a MoleSkin --
or better yet each of us should carry a supply of them -- then when we meet
someone who has a westie/vanagon we could give them a MoleSkin if they do
not have one already and then make a point to write down their address and
when we get home we also make a point to send them an ICU CARD which would
be like a post card -- maybe with a picture of westie on it ...camping
somewhere neat (as if we would stop anywhere else)
then about once a year of so we could put posters up in laundromats and the
local vw parts store -- the posters would invite people to come and gather
together around the camp fire in some place really neat and accessible for
all ... a place by a bridge might suffice -- or maybe one of those places
where i have never been in -- mexico ---
there at the gathering we could hold a sort of organizational meeting and
share ICU CARDs as well as have contests for who has the most addresses in
their MoleSkin -- and we could also share more addresses from MoleSkin to
MoleSkin ... and by actually letting others paw through your MoleSkin they
would see the interesting needs you have uncovered and could then say ...
oh hey --i see you need a new exhaust system -- i have one of those in my
shop ...
to keep in touch from time to time we could all start a sort of chain
letter that gets forwarded on to the next person on the list ... they would
have the duty of sending on each time and so on ... and when that chain
letter arrived at your house you would add your little bit ... like what
you were doing with your westie/vanagon or maybe you read someone else's
little bit and you have stuff to add that would be germane to the
discussion ... as the discussions grow over time we could employ a courier
service whose job it would be to take the letter from person owner to owner
-- they would have to drive a westie/vanagon of course ... i know a guy
named Gerry who would be good at it and he is very reliable .. not a YaHoo
at all he uses his westie/vanagon currently to serve an
infinitely-small-strident community which has doubled back on its self so
often it has begun to count knowledge in obscure math terms ...
i wonder if it would be considered some what anti- religious or religionist
to call the new group Amish Like with Home ...
sort of a mix of Roma and Amish values --
i see it all now ...it could work if we work it ...
