We continue our preparations for the pending trip which we have formally named "South West Expedition 08". We continue to seek funding from the French and Spanish but feel we are more likely to receive support from Togo. Getting financial support from other countries for exploration of the "New World", in the twenty-first century, is becoming more and more difficult. Something about return on investment and the fact theat there are no natural resources left to pillage, rape or plunder in the "New World" which some now refer to as the "Feted World" .
We set the Ambassador (the is the model of the camper we bought for the Expedition back in the fall of 07) for a show and tell at Maggies retirement/birthday party last night. Two people walking down the alley stopped and asked if they could camp in the back yard too. We said no, try a State Park, and be sure to camp next to Bubba's family .
EDD is 9/8/08 for the "SWE 08". Gotta go, getting a call from Togo, collect. Is that a bad sign?
Merryweather Larry,
Expedition Commander
