This is a most fascinating thread! Tell me, were the brothers named Osmond and did they harmonise -

Lezzles has an interesting question and I was also wondering how many children they have between them?

Probably enough to run a corporation.

Good. It seems like the two of you deserve each other.

LOL Thomas, they do deserve each other. They would start talking first thing in the morning before Lola or I woke up and continue on into the evening.

Their range of knowledge is incredible so they never run out of things to talk about from philosophy to history, politics to sports cars.

Even though they are quite unlikeable, I have to admit the conversations were unbelievably interesting.

Well, I don't really want to come over since I don't like anyone who's been mentioned or featured here so far, but since I have nothing better to do except wash my hair, I may as well.

Would you pour me a glass of that awful wine you're serving or do I have to help myself?

This horrible thread has indeed been a source of entertainment and a window into a world of the world's most boring and stoic personalities.

I would be lying if I said I didn't like any of you. Carry on, as you were and tally-ho.

Do come along.......you'll just hate Portland and the beach and the mountains, etc........you'll feel right at home. We'll feed you with home cooked meals that will make you wish you'd stayed home. Do you really mean it? You really are considering coming for a visit after we left you high and dry in New York? That would be a miserably appalling possibility. Do keep us informed. Zana the cat will prepare for sitting on your face all night long.

Snort. I think Walter would just hate the northwest, it's such a barren plain.. Intrepid would probably be a toughy too.

Other than puking, I hope Lola and Bernie had as much fun on that old switch back road that most tourists do. Bob claimed that it is no longer closed at night, assuring Bernie that there would be no problem--naturally, hoping for a spectaculat headline in the paper about how two tourists from Portland survived a crash, screaming something about that maniac from ABQ who lied through his teeth.

We had such an awful time that we are hoping they return as soon as possible so that we can get more of that awful feeling of friendship and good will.

And now comes shewolf and family. God, are we masochistic or what?


Not only did we puke on Sunday, but on Monday, we retraced our path to head out on the route Dys had suggested. This was the most breath taking drive of my life! Bernie and I cursed Di and Dys all day for subjecting us to such breathtaking beauty! If we liked Dys at all, or if he had better taste in women's breasts, we would thank him profusely for his direction. But since we don't and he doesn't, we'll just thank Sally Dog instead.

But that road up the side of that mountain.......I thought maybe Diane and Dys had us mistaken for Thelma and Louise. Did you and Dys really drive that road with your camper?

A barren plain indeed.............perfect for boring dear Walter until he begs to be released.

Oh come on, Thomas.........you know that each is too good for the other. As miserable as I was there, I think we left too soon.

Yesterday after we wound our way through the beauty of Utah, we drove to Salt Lake City and past the Great Salt Lake and the salt flats. We stopped in the Nevada side of that little town on the border of Utah and Nevada. We were greeted by the glitzy lights of the Casino strip. So we stayed in the hotel of the Montego Bay Casino for only $60.00. They don't charge much for the rooms since I suppose they think the guests will gamble........a vice I do not understand. We did get happy and went down to the bar for a drink. The neon lights were fascinating. We hung out with the gambling guests for a while. They were a friendly lot. One guy tried to explain his strategy for craps, as we stood beside him at the table, but it was much too complicated for either Bernie or me to understand in our condition. He tried to tempt us to bet, but it was no deal. Losing our hard earned money is not our idea of fun.

Today we drove to Lake Tahoe. Another beautiful site! Then we drove past Sacramento on our way home. We've stopped for the night in some small town on I-5 at the Holiday Inn Express. Tomorrow we'll drive home.

Some long time ago, I and Ex spent an evening in Las Vegas photographing the neon lights....
I too don't get gambling. Much of the world disagrees..

Well, have a nice horrible drive...
