Woohoo! Talked to **swampbear** earlier this evening - we’re set to meet sometime after 5 tomorrow. I have to say that his call threw me a bit - he talks so _southern_. Yeah, I know he’s a life-long Georgia boy, but doggone, I wasn’t expecting what I heard!!

**Ex** - when were you unpleasant to me? pfffft We are bound by our mutual love of tomatoes, mushrooms, and rare steaks. That bond is stronger than mere perceived unpleasantires. Seriously!

What about our mutual love of turbo-machinery and big-honkin’-assed equipment? Doesn’t that deserve some notice too?

Four-bar elements. You and I have the entire concept nailed, but these other jerks don’t even know what we’re talking about. We’re special. Because we’re smarter than everybody else.

Okay, maybe we’re not, but it’s a happy thought, isn’t it?

Give **Angel Pants** a big hug from me, and tell him I love him like brother, 'kay?

Also, you should give him a kiss. Put some tongue in it.

**Ex** , I gave **swampy** your message, and hugs were exchanged, but no kisses and definitely no tongue. You’ll have to give him that yourself.

And we had a lovely dinner. The broiled scallops were amazing. And he declared afterwards that I was a cheap date. Yep, that’s me. Cheap date.

After we ate, I gave him the 50-cent tour of Clay County, which means we drove down to Green Cove Springs and looked at the spring. Yep, that’s pretty much it. Then was came back to the house and talked a little while. But he left shortly thereafter so he wouldn’t have to try to find his hotel in the dark.

It was a lovely evening. So anyone else who comes to this area is most welcome meet with me. Remember, I’m FairyChatMom, the Cheap Date! 😃

Neato.

Did you get the 'gator tail too? I’ve never tried that, and I’m curious about it. Does it really taste like chicken? Somebody once told me that rattlesnake tasted like chicken. He lied.

I’m marking you down in my little black book in the “cheap” section.

We didn’t have gator tail last night, but I’ve had it before. It’s a mild white meat - doesn’t taste like chicken but it’s that type of meat.

You can mark me cheap, but make a note that I’m not easy. Nope, not me.
