But Woof..I'll bet it would get a fantastic price on Ebay.

Great pix (well most of them..where's PhotoShop when you need it?) and a great time.  Thanks to all who came and to those who didn't, you really missed out.  Hopefully you'll join us next time.

Audrey..where were you?  I kept wondering "where's my drinking buddy?"  (Even is it was just tea..heh)

Looks like all of you had a great time but curious why Random didnt stick around?

I know most of you wont believe me but I 4 GOT.

Steve have you ever played @ Elisabeth Lake Golf Course? I-5 to 138 go East to Three Points road?

Ron.

Has anyone figured out who the imposter was?

If you are going to get the cops involved. I would like to suggest that you ring up Sparks..

I am not totally convinced that Youngblood has enough time on the job. To handle a case of this magnitude..

Nancy et al.

Gosh it looks like the Bloggers get together was a lot of fun.  Sorry I missed it.  I've had a small problem that kept me away.    Next time for sure. 

Why did I think TKozy was a she instead of a he?  I wondered about it a few times but couldn't get past the name.

Also, Random appears a bit older than I thought and TomW younger.  At least I imagined Woofwoof correctly. 

Scary - marriage to Steve must agree with you.  You look so happy.

Audrey says:

TK says:

Nancy jump in if I am wrong. But the investigation into this case has not proceeded far enough, to be able to provide reliable information as to who the imposter was.

Audrey, I thought the same thing....I didn't even get a chance to talk to him...because I thought it was a her.....something about the name on the profile from awhile back,  I can't remember, but now it's Buster, but it was a chick's name.... 

And, soo-o, you pictured me as an ole hippie?

Was hopin to meet you too....

From one ole survivor of grannie glasses and ironed hair to another, catch you next time.

Woof

I have seen too much not to know that the impression of a woman may be more valuable than the conclusion of an analytical reasoner.

Sherlock Holmes.

You know my method. It is founded upon the observation of trifles.

Sherlock Holmes.

Hey, who was the guy behind Nancy's hand in the first picture? He's in a ton of other pictures, too. Was he "Anonymous"? He looks like this punkish teacher guy I had as my teacher for two years! That's scary.

I'm sorry I didn't make it to this one. It looks like you guys had tons of fun. My parents were on their way home from Vegas, so I had to watch my little brother. I'll have to try to make it to another one as soon as I learn how to drive. That could take a while. But I must warn you in advance that if any of you ever meet me in person within the next year, you'll more than likely see me with braces on my teeth. Stupid ice skating rink ruined my perfectly straight teeth the night before my 18th birthday! Er... :( Oh, and apparently I look a lot younger than I actually am, which is totally lame.

I imagined people the same way Audrey did. Talk about being totally wrong.

Robin, That's my grandson...and he IS a punkish teacher.  :-)

Although he generally refers to himself as a "nerd."

Re: Photos from bakersfield.com meetup

It was a pleasant event and I plan to attend the next one. When will that be?

Ha ha...that's funny, Nancy! It's weird that I said that even though I had no idea who he really was. Does he post anonymously, Nancy? I've never seen him on the blogs. I guess he's not the punkish teacher guy I knew.

So how often is the meet-up thing going to occur?

Hmm...I'm using Internet Explorer to post comments. For some reason, Firefox won't let me post comments on the blogs. I refreshed it and every time it finishes, it just shows the white box and nothing else. It won't let me type into it. I cleared all my cookies to see if that would work, but it didn't. I haven't tried restarting my computer yet, though. That's the last thing I need to try. Does anyone have any ideas as to why my Firefox browser won't let me post comments?

Sorry to be so late to comment, but it was fun meeting up with you guys.  Thanks Jason and Logan for putting it together. 

Saturday afternoons work good for us.

 the gal on the far right is purty

Kozy reminds me of an old cop I knew

Who is the dude on the far left? He looks familiar too.

Both are in red Chico.  The blonde is Woof and the brunette is my grandsons wife.  She posts occasionally under anonymous because of her job.  Year ago last July she married my grandson (in the checkered shirt talking to Tk) and is the greatest thing to happen to him since sliced bread.  He posts occasionally under googlplex.  No clue what I was talking about but must have been on a rant.  Lordy I hate pictures of me especially with my mouth hanging open.

By the way..they are going to add to our family in May.  They're just trying to make an old lady out of me but it won't work.  :-)

Uhhh yeah. I know they are both in  red...... my rods and cones are intact...... haha .....She is very pretty. And I meant that in a non DOM or partisan {Democrat like Clinton or Dodd-Kennedy haha} sense and no disrespect in any way. In fact she looks like one of my grandkids.

I teach the grandkids espanol (I won't go into first language as even spanish has caused my stepson heartburn for some reason) and they love it. See, it gets back to "The Grass is Greener" theory. Everyone wants to be what they ain't.

Whites want tans, blacks used to do jeri curls or iron their hair, mexicans want lighter skin. Ridiculous!

Ronald Reagan said whats outside a horse is good for inside a man (close) and I say whats inside a man is all that is really important.

You will find that in conflict (combat) of any kind.

Point is, too much is made of "race". Anglos are continually asking for "forgiveness" (ridiculous) and others take advantage of their good nature (despicable)

Hi dusty. Go ahead and attack me

BTW, Woofwoof looks kinda like Susan Sarandon

A truly pretty lady, but whom I have nothing in common with poitically.

Your avatar, Nancy, looks like Dianne Hardisty but you do not. Take that as a compliment BTW.   :-)

Don't feel old Nan. 14 grandkids. A great grandkid is on the way

sheeshe! golden years <spits copenhagen>

Dude on far left is DoctorMason, BTW.

Who is he?

He just looked familar.

Seems he is commo with the only one who really counts BTW

Who would that be, Chico?  I count everyone (except Charlie) equally around here.

.

FWIW, I've met DrM exactly once, at a blogger's meeting.  But I can *READ*, and that's what his nametag says in the picture.

I could drive down there for a reunion

but

you would all hate me if I went as handle

how some ever, mayhaps, I could just go as joe 6pack and voyeur until 

Gee. I guess thats a comeuppance from a {edit} who doesn't realize PDA's have limited capabilities as do old PC's.

See how that happens folks? I said nothing which would elicit such a response from our lieberal "all accepting" freind, Randomfactor

Actually random factor, I know him from LIons Club and years of work I did up in Porterveille and even down into Terra Bella for the blind.

What have you done

You know, what you inferred is really unjustified and uncalled for in any civil discourse format

Chico, if  *YOU* inferred that I said you couldn't read, then perhaps your inferring bone is too hair-trigger.  And your spelling-checker too rusty if you think that's how the word "liberal" is spelled.

.

If you didn't mean to imply snide intonation to your comment "the only one who really counts," and didn't point it my way when I only supplied information *YOU* asked for, then maybe *MY* inferring bone is too hair-trigger.

"We" have always been "cornerized" (reservations, out of sight out of mind, inmates, redman chew, Jane Fonda "chop", etc.)

No biggy. As long as you all are reigning only verbal judo's on my punkin' and not  real blows, I guess it will be OK (actually my dear old Dad never understood that psych blows were worse than physical blows)

Yes, you could roll me out on a "mover's dolly" like Hannibal Lectre (don't forget the mask) and I could address the group

looking out over the "cast of characters" I could but think "I am being judged by these?"

But thats OK.

To the "corner I will retire -- to remain taciturn, quien sabe?"

I like Random but disagree 95%  I have prayed for him I have ask him questions in e/mail Random treates me friendly.

Between two men I could play golf with him and enjoy it but dinner out with the wifes wouldn't work.

I consider him a blogger friend.

Ron.
