And Ringo’s search for a possum head. Of course, the bar/dinner tab certainly shows we’re dopers though; we didn’t break tradition there.

I just want to say thanks to everyone for letting me wander in late, leave early, and enjoy creme brulee. It really was great to see the “real people” that are behind these boards. I’d love to meet more of you guys if ever given the oppurtunity. I really enjoyed the visit.

And if anyone is wondering, ( **Ringo, UncleBeer, DMC, CMC, porcupine** ) my car was fine, thank you!! I didn’t even notice anything shuffled around. And as I was leaving town and heading back to the quiet, quiet country I’ll have everyone know, I too had my fill of rap music and bayou classic boogie!! The streets were packed and loud. I \*\* HATED \*\* that, but it **was** worth it.

My wife and I had a great time meeting everyone.

I did learn quite a bit that evening. including the fact that having relations with your relation’s soft babies is better than mounting possums.

Anytime you’re in the neighborhood again, look us up.
