I remember WAAAAAY back in the 60's My Mom and Dad and I visited some friends In Idaho. While there we went to the Calvary stampede. VERY impressive. Anyway, all they asked us was how long we were going to stay. Of course the Ford Falcon station wagon (a '61 or '62 model) was loaded down with camping gear.

You know one thing I found being in the Military and serving in other countries, We as U.S. citizens most of the time don't consider the fact that if we ever enter another country or another countries possession, WE are the Foreigners! We (the U.S.) tend to gauge the rest of the world by OUR ideals, something that cannot be done. Many of us, unfortunately HAVE become the Ugly American! i don't think this is strictly an American issue, I think it is common for many travelers to forget they are the guests. People tend to not consider that they are the 'different' one

I've only been to it that one time, but It was very impressive. Man, I could live up in that part of the world. I LOVED it up there. Course I would want to be in a remote area where there wasn't to many folks around and those that were believed that as long as "Neighbors" didn't cause any problems and obeyed the law (well for the most part anyway) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> that things were good. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

We're getting by Marty, Patty has has some issues, but that is normal although of course not welcome. Overall pretty much the same for us.
Glad to hear you are doing ok but sorry about the work envrionment. Oh and I really like that black handled knife in your video!
Take care, best wishes on the engagement/marriage plans and WATCH YOUR BACK! Thanks Randy, I will and I hope Patty gets much better! The black handled knife is the 4th one of the Burger EXK knives I own. Really great knives and maker. It is the closest knife I consider to be something like a Bob Terzuola folder for a good price (locally). Here is a pic just for you. ![[Linked Image from i150.photobucket.com]](http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s90/geronki/2011/P9250035.jpg)

That's a nice knife and thank you for the picture! I the first time after you told me about him I remembered researching his sword canes. He is an artist and I am glad he is still going well.
I also hope that things continue to go well for you and your family. I've missed seeing posts from you and you fellow countryman. (Can't believe I can't remember his avatar name) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />
Ah, got it now, Zuluextreme! Man I hate when my oldtimers kicks in!
