Subject:      Re: Bob's trip (D+3?) Addendum

Lemme guess: 48-58 years of "experience." Looks kinda like Jerry Garcia, but living, hair not as long (not even close), Not as heavy as Jerry was but not slim and trim. Bob is pretty darned tanned and needed a shave and a shower. Wore a dark Tshit with a pocket and sweat stains. Jeans and work boots that are sold at Sears- the kind that are tannish and scuffy. Jeans are kinda baggy in the ass with potential for "plumber's crack" at any moment. Could be someone's Grampa. Would look at home in a Country bar listening to old Patsy Cline and Merle Haggard tunes with a few Buck and Dwight Yokham hits snuck in between. He'd be the "lemme buy you a drink", frendly mofo but he doesn't drink except real occasionally and with friends when he does. Marlboro reds and a rough laugh. I guess he could come acroos as a SOB if you didn't know him, understand his humor or (God forbid) pissed him off. If you know him, understand his humor and gave him *hit right back you'd either become a good friend or a dead enemy. I guess a baseball cap that has something to do with firearms. Colt or NRA or Sexy Senior citizen. How close did I come! ;)

Ask our man Hoover if I oughta start a "What does Bob look like thread." I'm sure he'd be REALLY happy about that one. (Secretly he'd get a kick out of it but just act pissed). Just teasing- I won't but it real tempting!!!! =) "RustyVanBondo" .............................................................................
