Some of our folks may still not be home to post to this thread, as they planned some travelling along the way. After we said goodbye Monday morning to Peg & kendall, Dharmabum & his travelling companion, we wandered down to the campsite of Charmion & her husband (can't keep 2 names in my head at the same time--sorry!), 2 of our Ontario folks. As they finished packing their gear, we had a great chat & started getting to know them; wish we had started earlier! I love meeting folks from other places; it broadens my experience of life so much! Just a tidbit for you--as Charmion & I headed to the "Ladies," she remarked that, in the U.S. southern states (noted for decorum), she had inquired as to the location of sanitary facilities, i.e.--"Where is the toilet?," thereby causing a southern belle to blush at her bluntness. We agreed that neither bathroom nor restroom were particularly accurate terms. The facility we used that weekend had neither bathtub nor shower (more's the pity!) & we certainly didn't waste any time resting there--not w/ good music to hear & good folks to spend time w/! According to Mr. Morse, he takes care of *his* needs in "the litter (in Maine--littah) box!" Thanks, kendall! :) I remarked earlier that I'd spoken w/ George Ward about his song, "You Gotta Talk My Language"--probably in my top 5 favorites. Just now I was reading the latest catspaw thread only to discover that George has been a posting Mudcat member for more than a year. Nifty neat! A belated welcome, George; great to have you here!
