Checking our Lotto tickets, we win big! April Fools, only I didn't actually buy any for last night so I may not be as big a fool as folks in higher places think. I did find out that virtual toilet paper is used in FarmVille for TP'ing the barn? I wasn't in favor of throwing that stuff into trees and over homes when I was much younger and stupid - one only being likely in the case of the other not necessarily so.
April Fools Day, my father told me of the one he remembered, since it was Sunday - Easter Sunday in 1945 and he was participating in the attack on Okinawa, watching the Kamikaze suicide bombers flying in to attack the ships. Army Combat Engineer he didn't have to stay on the ships, his work was on the island.
Email has been interesting here, got contact from a serious shooter in Oahu about getting into the Revolutionary War Veterans Association and Appleseed shoots. Now, you loyal readers, and my mother think I am a world famous personality - but my wife will let me know that no one is paying attention so I was interested in how he found my name among many. I answered his email, and he answered, and we slept on that. This morning I contacted him again, and find an email telling me to expect some information about someone trying to get Appleseeds started in Hawaii from one of the senior members of RWVA. Very interesting.
I had an email from a cousin with an offer to stop and visit on my motorcycle tour, but he didn't include his new address - I will reply, I would like to stop and see him. He is hosting the Dungey Reunion next year. My niece emails and asks if Ryan Dungey - famed motocross rider, which her sons watched race recently in Florida (her husband has a fondness for such foolishness and shares with his sons). I had to acknowledge that 1) I don't know 2) the family name isn't that common 3) and he is from Minnesota (where I was born and many of us lived once) 4) and he rides motorcycles (just not Trusty Triumphs).
The email from my sister in Florida explained she has the same problem I do with typing on a laptop and big fingers making whole sections of typed thought disappear. Must be in the DNA? She also told me that she would be driving her vehicle to Tennessee while I ride the motorcycle - she isn't as passionate about fooling around on two wheels and mentions the rain - which she knows I don't care about - she does. She always had much more sense than I did, I was Adventure Training in the Great Smokies and since it rains almost daily up there among the clouds I was constantly asked for some of my fire to start theirs, some folks don't do well with wet wood and no patience. It was a great letter to catch up on her life, plans and thoughts.
All the email except the RWVA stuff was caused by the current collapse of my AT&T Worldnet accounts, for lack of interest by their bean counters and my moving on to free blogger and hotmail.com stuff. If anyone is looking for me, from where I once was point them in this direction, or tell them to Google "William Earl Dungey" I am that easy to find. Just hope NCIS never starts to track me and my paper/cyber trail. I only know I didn't do it and don't do well in interogation rooms.
I leave you with my personal info-mmercial, having admired Breda and others with their cooking skills, this is how one makes gruel (in my microwave anyway). Always remember that Earl is a guy, reads about Mongols living on blood, mare's milk and curds softened by sitting on them. Yeah, its a guy thing.
