Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: Tinker Date: 16 Jul 08 - 10:30 AM Dani,I found a copy of the photo from our last road trip all draped over Kendall the other day.... Ahh (notice I have worded this as if it is and will be a recurring type of adventure...) For now I live vicariously...... Ebbie, pass on a few hugs -- gee I even get to say from the southland --- tink |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: Becca72 Date: 16 Jul 08 - 10:22 AM I can't believe they won't let Boy George in but they said "ok" to Micca (eg) |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: katlaughing Date: 16 Jul 08 - 09:56 AM Bears! He wants bears up there, but here he requests a photo op with a rattlesnake! |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: GUEST,Dani Date: 16 Jul 08 - 09:43 AM Well, it's never really worked for me Tinker, which is why I rarely do it, but sometimes the urge overtakes me : ) Wish I could saddle up, pick you up on the way, and intercept him up North! Dani |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: Ebbie Date: 16 Jul 08 - 09:43 AM Waal, now. Just come on! Micca's plane was on time and his luggage was the second item on the - whatta ya call it - Juneau's gonna treat him right! It is such fun to have him here. And his wishes are easily met- we hve lots of bears this year. |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: Tinker Date: 16 Jul 08 - 07:50 AM I want to whine too..... Dani, do you think if we stomp around enough we can have our way ??? |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: GUEST,Dani Date: 16 Jul 08 - 06:57 AM I am SO jealous. I don't usually whine, but here goes: ........wanna be in Alaska with Micca and KT and Ebbie et al :( no FAIR! (Stomp thrown in for good measure) I DO plan to be at the Getaway, but won't be pulling anyone's kilt, so go ahead and wear 'em guys, don't be scared. Dani |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: Morticia Date: 16 Jul 08 - 06:28 AM Whacha whining about, they let you in, didn't they? That means I lose my bet...damn. |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: GUEST,MiccaI Date: 16 Jul 08 - 04:07 AM I am here in Juneau after several adventures and have seen my first Glacier!!! (well my first for 20 years close up) and am sitting in KTs drinking tea and trying to convince my body that it is Not 9am on Wednesday but I am , I still dont like Homeland Security (mutter,mutter,)More later |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: Ebbie Date: 15 Jul 08 - 07:15 PM *g* I visited my husband's brother one time- and that's kind of the way it was, Stilly. And that was just a jail,not a prison. I don't know what kind of glass it was. I do know it wasn't nice. |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: Stilly River Sage Date: 15 Jul 08 - 06:22 PM If he has to make any stops or transfer planes at Dallas/Fort Worth, please let me know. With our security system here I won't be able to get in and he won't want to come out, but maybe they have bullet-proof glass and a two way phone system like in prisons. :) SRS |

And the first one to toss a road apple into a martini will get a whoopin'. Put that swizzle stick away, Ebbie, and help Liz get out of the loo. Your little chat inspired her." Sinsull Me? You're the one drawing the dirty pictures. :)\ If'n y'all don't want moose droppings, what do you want? Micca may be traveling heavy. |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: My guru always said Date: 15 Jul 08 - 04:02 PM Am sure that the Wanton Traveller will arrive safely, just make sure he passes on all the Hugs sent across the pond correctly labelled! |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: Liz the Squeak Date: 15 Jul 08 - 03:05 PM Please, it's bad enough being stuck in the loo in one thread... don't entangle me in this one too! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: SINSULL Date: 15 Jul 08 - 02:31 PM The loo? I thought I was back in the Tavern...uhoh. The meds may need attention. |

Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: Becca72 Date: 15 Jul 08 - 01:37 PM Note to self: need to make a trip to the Kittery Trading Post for a pair of moose shite earrings for Sins for christmas... |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: SINSULL Date: 15 Jul 08 - 01:02 PM Ebbie and Morticia, You are worse than a pair of eight year old boys. And the first one to toss a road apple into a martini will get a whoopin'. Put that swizzle stick away, Ebbie, and help Liz get out of the loo. Your little chat inspired her. SIGH I'll take a JD on the rocks, no poop. |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Jul 08 - 12:39 PM How 'bout that? I guess all the wild bears DON'T shit in the woods................... Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: Ebbie Date: 15 Jul 08 - 12:37 PM That's very funny - and I'm glada that their insurance covers the damage. Ann Boochever, by the way, is an aunt of Olympic silver medalist in skiing Hilary Lindh, several years back, also a local person. Moose droppings around these parts, Morticia, are more popular than bear scat. You will find them in the shops, laminated, glued onto swizzle sticks, or packaged prettily in chocolate boxes or presented in a number of other ways. (Moose droppings resemble huge rabbit droppings, although they are piled like cowpies.) |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: Morticia Date: 15 Jul 08 - 12:12 PM Actually, I spect bear poo would be very good for my garden, so if you can find a way to get it back through customs........of course, llama poo is probably just as good. |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: KT Date: 15 Jul 08 - 11:14 AM LOL Sinsull! We might be able to get some pre-packaged in the gift shops so it won't be any trouble at all! |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: SINSULL Date: 15 Jul 08 - 11:05 AM Hmmmmmm. Can we trust them with our Micca???? http://juneauempire.com/stories/071508/loc_304177800.shtml I certainly don't want him showing up at my house with a suitcase full of scat. |

The next day I go off to Pinewoods Camp, and I believe he'll be off West by the end of that week. |
Subject: RE: BS: Miccas Great Adventure From: Charley Noble Date: 14 Jul 08 - 08:19 PM Well, I understand the world is somewhat spherical. East becomes West and North becomes South. But it would be nice if Micca would share his itinerary or at least his trajectory. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
