I Quit!
After only a couple days on job training I realized that I really didn't want a job. I've had a job since I was 12 years old and I'm 38 now. I've got some money and I don't really need to work. At this point in my life all I really want to do is to do as a please when I please. I sold my house to go and wander about the world and until such comes that I might need to work to extend my, as they say here and Europe, holiday then I will work.
I felt like an absolute shit-head for saying that I would work for Chris and Loey and then saying "No sorry, but I really can't." They were very understanding, and even invited me over for dinner to their cabin. Such wonderful people. Their philosophy was that when you work with travelers we understand that their plans change as they need to and we have to work around them. At least I told them with plenty of time to make other arrangements for plan B or C.
My plan is to now go drink some beer and smoke a little cannabis. It's just past noon. Not a bad way to get the day going.

Great work if you can find it. Meanwhile back here in the workaday world I just got back from Denver; I was one (out of two) finalists for the job I mentioned a while back. Don't know how I feel about the interview, I would be equally unsurprised if I got the job or not. If I dont' get it I'll be disapointed, but certainly not discouraged. All that I learned from you in your recent travails has actually sunk in! Who would've ever thought I could be so mellow about something. Anyhoo, I really like Denver...A lot. It's like Portland with Eastern Washington weather. Who could ask for more. Keep us all posted. Looking forward to hanging out again. Doug
dude,
I was doorbelling your old neighborhood and they are building a house next to your old one. I'll try to get a picture and send it to you....
Dale
Doug - Best of luck my friend.
Dale - If my old house is in the picture I don't want to see it. I kind of miss having an entire 4 bedroom house all to myself. In Nimbin I get a room with shared shower and toilets and kitchen. When I look back I can see how rich life really was for me. I'm thinking that simpler is better...Yurt.
In Nimbin, yes.
But where to next, oh my droog and brother?
What new adventures and discoveries await the intrepid traveler?
Not a problem, I too wonder where Thom is off too next. Enjoy the local flora for me. Dale
I think that you should become a Jedi Knight while you're in Australia:
