I'm very sorry to hear about your friend Truman, but I sure am glad he is going to be ok. That was a very long fall!!!
I have already ordered and received 2 copies of the 2008 Brokeback calendar. I always put one up and leave the other one sealed.

I still have the cold I came down with on the 14th. :(
I have done some catching up. I smiled at that description of the "honey wagon" with Yosemite Sam on it. :D
I have been to downtown Richmond. I've even been to Shockoe's wharf ... 25-26 years ago. :-\

The Indians should be paying their taxes this week, they give the Governor a deer, every year since 1677.

Why ain't y'all callin' it Shockoe Bottom? That's what I hear it called?
Oh dear, Truman, I'm sorry to hear that from you to Richmond is the most boring drive on Earth. I have to admit, that when I drove to Blacksburg to meet you and our wonderful Lynne, I had been looking forward to the drive through the beautiful state of Virginia, but it wasn't that beautiful, it was mostly kinda dull. But the destination was so worth it. Imagine, I was coming nearly completely to see Lynne, you hadn't gotten on my radar much yet then. That's changed. :) That was just about a year ago.

Well you were on 460, which is not as boring, and I might go that way when I come see you, but 360 is duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuulllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.
Shockoe Bottom, Shockhoe Slip, Rockets warf are all names for that area. Maybe we can go check out the Velvet Gentlemans Club witht the purple neon, whaddya say?

Shockoe was already kinda trendy when I was there, which was 1980 or 1981, I forget which.
You want dull drivin' in Virginia, try King William and King and Queen County in Tidewater. I used to pass through there on my way to Williamsburg. I'd come down 301 and then cut off to the southeast to take back roads to Williamsburg and avoid Richmond. I thought I'd go out of my mind with the dullness. That was a long time ago. I'd have to consult a map to check the route numbers.
My favorite dullest highway ;D is the Pennsylvania Turnpike between Harrisburg and Carlisle.
