A short break from tramping...
It is cloudy and a bit drizzly here today; actually my favorite kind of day for making photos with a fast lens, which I don't have except for the Sigma macro. I may put the Canon S3 back in use for a while as it works pretty well on cloudy days if I don't zoom it too much. Pollen seems to be down somewhat from the past week's levels, so it may be safe to be out doors for a while.

Concerning the stuff I've been writing about my tramp days: it is all from memory. Some of the dates are probably off somewhat, and it is possible that I will get some of the jobs out of sequence. Seems like one memory leads to another, and I could bore you to suicide if I put everyone of the tidbits in this blog. I will try to protect people's reputations as much as possible, but doing so will cause me not to write about most of the fun and weired things that took place. The odds of any of those people ever reading my blog is infinitesimal, but anything is possible. Man, I want to write about it so badly! I suppose I'll have to create some fictional short stories based on some of the more outstanding events. If so, I'll put them on my writing blog, Lord Bubbha.
Another thing I want to stress is that my life was one of complacency until the time I began tramping. I basically had been nowhere and done nothing for my first 25 years of existence. The real world was slowly opening to my eyes, and I found it extremely fascinating and sometimes frightening. The shy and introverted country boy was making real friends—and a few very real enemies—for the first time in his life.
