Not at all.

Now if we could just everybody to post as much fun stuff as you.

Though you have been a topic of discussion around CoTradeCo (off the blog). As the community continues to grow it is always interesting what different people have to say, and what they choose to share. In your case, you are very open and upfront. Primarily, I think the repeated discussion of restroom activities (with forthcoming devoted post I gathered from your recent post) and insulting the entire city of Solvang (and possibly the entire country of Denmark if you are wrong ;) have drawn attention.

At any rate, you are a valuable member of this community, and one we have chosen to endorse in a non-standard activity of exploring the country, nay the world, on your own terms. Thus I would expect that some of your posts would be non-standard.

Are we going to have to revisit what gets shown on the home page and implement parental controls on the site and a flagging system so you don’t scare off the non-community members who are just here to shop for their business. Well maybe. But this is a community and we’ll keep doing what we do so you can do what you do.

You are posting more than TopSportsBets ever did. But I can only hope that you inspire countless others to share their stories.

Enjoy your journey and be safe. And don’t be alarmed when all of your posts have “Not Safe For Work” and “May contain adult content” flags all over them :)

merry day.

Nearly forgot that part of the message.

It was fantastic. We took some crappy pictures that I will post soon.

I was pretty tired before we even got there, but everyone grilled some food and have over fancy smores before the fish came home to roost as it were.

At first it was wildly trippy to see all those fish flopping around on the beach, but by the end sitting in a beach chair just watching from afar it somehow seemed normal and commonplace.

And if I might include a shameless promotion, my Pelican 7060 led flashlight sure came in handy. Bright enough to light the scene but mellow enough to not scare the grunion away. Of course we were near the pier and it wasn’t that dark in the first place. But no ordinary flashlight would have let me see the glory of all those eggs in the hole after the mother thrashed her way out.

Neat stuff. The rangers weren’t too happy that we kept scooping them up and putting them in a bucket to eat later, but that’s another (not true) story.

Thank you for the ongoing support and I certainly look forward to watching this wonderful community grow while experiencing so many different walks of life in one spot. I have already learned alot here. I spent a good hour perusing the coal mining sites, photos, history and personal experience. It is certainly enriching to keep track of who is doing what around here.

Thank you for the warning about my posts being flagged and I wonder if I should propose a warning of my own? I hadn’t really thought I had gotten to the gruesome parts yet!
