Dyslexia might be panhandling - check out his hand???
BBB
I'm so glad to see that Dys has recovered enough from his illness to trot around San Francisco, keeping up with the frisky wimmins.
Way to go!, Dys. Must be all that good care by Diane.

Wonderful pictures. Blatham looks even sharper than he did during the Albuquerque gathering last April.
How does he do it?

Dys looks like a mountain man lost in the big city.
Wonderful pics. At last I get to see some of you that I hadn't seen before. Not as good as being there, but great just the same.
Thanks Husker for posting those photos.
There are more coming, but I didn't send them correctly to Husker and so I'll have to try again later today. I have at least one of everyone. I had lots of photos, and fortunately, at least one came out as good enough of everyone.
Dys as a panhandler.....hummm. He's a man with potential to be whatever he pleases, certainly. There were plenty of panhandlers in SF.....They were every where.
Blatham....yes he does seem to look sharper every time we see him, doesn't he BBB. I think it's the hat. Excellent hat, btw, bernie.
If c.i. and mrs. c.i. (don't know if I should write her real name online here)look a little lost here, it's because they were trying to coral the rest of us and were getting little cooperation. But they never showed any frustration.....although it was quite a task. c.i. did such a good job of TRYING to organize the group.
Me organize? ha ha ha... I'm retired, lady Lola, and it's been that way for over six years.
Lola - did you have a hat? looks like everyone else might have???
PS - it's my pleasure to post the pictures for you folks.
Nope Husker, I wouldn't want to muss my hair. Laughing.......
For Eva and Dys
Eva, Your description of Dys as a mountain man lost in the big city made remember my mountain man story. Is this what Dys was doing when Diane wasn't looking? ---BBB
THE MOUNTAIN MAN
By BumbleBeeBoogie - March 23, 1995
A mountain man, celebrating his 21st birthday in the town's gathering place, was entertaining his friends with tales of his first day trip to the big city. He leaned against the bar with a can of beer in his hand and described the long tour bus trip and the astonishing sights he saw along the way.
"I was jest wandering the streets buying trinkets for Mama and Little Sister and eaten the strangest food you ever ete. I run out of money and was walkin back to the bus depot when a sweet young gal leaning agin the brick wall of a bar called out to me. I'm thinkin to meself, she sure is friendly-like to welcome a stranger to her city, so I stopped to talk to her."
A pleasant memory spread across his face. "I jest liked her friendly ways so much and she were so purty, I din't notice how late it was gettin, so I jest decided to take the last bus home."
With a big grin the Mountain Man recalled, "Now that sweet young gal took me up the stairs to her room and she warn't embarrassed that the building were all dirty and her furniture ain't so good."
"What happened next?" his friends asked.
"Well, that little gal fixed me some soup and peanut butter sanwiches. And, he laughed, She gave me some of the fiercest White Lightnin I ever drunk and I be gawd dammed if I din't miss the last bus home."
How'd ya git yerself out'a that fix?" his friends wondered.
"Well, that sweet lil gal tole me it were too late to git a room. So I ast her what I should do. And you won't believe what happened next."
Blushing beet red he said, "She were so sweet she give me half her bed and shared her pillow. And, would'ja believe it, she were so kind that she din't wear her nightie because I din't brung no pajamas."
There was dead quiet in the room as his friends looked at each other.
Finally, he broke the silence. "In the mornin after I waked up from a long sleep, that sweet little gal done give me a real nice breakfast of coffee and toast with grape jam all over it. She even hugged me at the door afore me an she said goodbye."
Suddenly, the Mountain Man stopped in the middle of his story, noticing the older men were rolling their eyes and snickering behind their hands. With a mixture of astonishment and conviction, he took a swig from his can of beer and announced:
"Dang! you know what? If'n I'd played me cards right, I could'a had that sweet gal!"
That is GREAT! However, it is definitely NOT Dys.
ROTFLMAO!
Hi all!
Just popping in to check a few threads not much time to post as I'm catching up with stuff*
CLARIFICATION:
Dys was NOT panhandling!
(however, I didn't see him RETURN any of the money that was dropped in his outstretched hand)

RANDOM THOUGHTS
I was talking with a couple of friends on the phone today. Like others I've spoken to they were amazed
that I could make such wunnerful friends online and that they would be even nicer in person.
I guess I'm going to have to revise the idea I had of Houston. First of all, the PDiddies are from there
and they are SUCH nice nice people! Now I realize** that one of my A2K favorites, Edgar, is from there.
Thanks Husker for posting the pics! You're a great guy!
(I don't care what they say about you)
Osso,
I have recently noticed what a great vocabulary you have!
I use MINE primarily for ostentatious display.
(ex. I was going to ask you at dinner the other night if you were surfeited)
Diane,
you were too kind in your description of me. (above? or was it on the other thread?)
On the other hand that's what I like about you -willing to lie for a friend.
*CONFESSION TIME (gulp!)
The REAL reason that I don't have much time today is that I still have to do my TAXES.
("bad jjorge!" -slap! slap!)
** I know, I know, I'm supposed to read and remember locations from people's avatars -well, what can you do with a low IQ?
Ahhh, I got a tax extension....
A susurrance of surfeit..
Jjorge, I can't remember if I saw you post on the big word thread started by ehBeth... I haven't yet myself, find it interesting.
I'll try and post some photos with my new home scanner/imac on this thread tonight. If I don't, it means I have to do it from my scanner/pc at work, and that means Saturday, or even Sunday, since I need to get some design out on Saturday.
I have previously been able to post photos on a2k within a thread by going to the Raven's Realm or littleK's site to downsize (gads, it is hard to remember, I might have been able to do it without it, but think I did it through littleK's).
But... I couldn't start a subscription photo site here, something to do with Macs and javascript (Craven worked with me on it), and I had to have Jespah help to add stuff to the A2K members' or pets' albums. But I did get photos into some art Topics, so I have some hope.
Stay tuned, if it works, there'll be lots.
