Thank you so much to everyone for your kind words of support. I hope to pop in from time to time to post when I can. Until next time, I hope you enjoy our latest video. Take care, everyone!

SRP, thanks for taking so much shit. Hope I wasn't one of the bigger pains. I hope to see lots of you always around here. And welcome, Elvis.

Two days ago.

I was in town so I stalked 82 and an impromptu regional mod summit was convened at an undisclosed north Seattle bar. We flash our Mod badges to prove we're real:

Walking to the bar, we Found some Objects, including our cool Mod badges. 8) [edit:] (I've posted my photos of the other things in Images Only.)

As may be evident, it's really just two friends getting together. We mostly talked about our personal problems, the general Great Unease pervading the ether, and spirit-lifting people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. On RI, "people should be allowed to speak," we sigh between sips.

Great job, SRP!

Don't let all that power go to your head, Elvis.

It's been 13 months since stillrobertpaulsen checked out.

Hope all is well with you and yours, srp, and that your new gig is both interesting and rewarding to you.

Thanks, I appreciate that! All is definitely well. My job has been more than I expected as far as the commitment to my Union brothers and sisters, but it's certainly been rewarding. I've helped negotiate three contracts over the past year that have helped gain our members pay and benefit increases each year of their respective contracts. Very busy for the most part, though last month my boss told me things usually slow down during the summer (not last summer, training was intense) and that seems to be the case. So I'm going to try to post on RI more when I can.

Hope all is well with everyone here. Hope there hasn't been too much fighting, my best to Elvis and 82_28 in letting cool heads prevail. Take care!

They could still get him out of office.
But instead, they want mass death.
Don’t forget that.

my Union brothers and sisters


Looks like we might have to call on The Pinkerton Detective agencies on your refusal to let the invisible hand...

Ha! Just kidding... Sounds like you and the misses(sp? I forget..), are doing, well. I thoroughly enjoyed your travel blogs. Glad your back in touch!
