What the heck is a peyote button?

Ditto that question. And could we have a phonetic spelling of the correct pronunciation?

Pay-oh-tee

It's a cactus like plant that a halucinagen is made from. Native Americans used them in spiritual ceremonies and such. It's popular in So. Cal and Arizona.

I wonder if that's what Jeff Corwin was chewing on in an episode of his show on the Travel or Food channel (can't remember which). I bet it is.

Idaho is really, really beautiful!! We have spent several camping vacations at Priest Lake, and with the right friends and a dry tent, a big campfire and a bottle of good wine, a good time can be had!!!

With good friends and a GOOD bottle of Wine can't a great time be had anywhere?Even in Idaho Just saying

Colt you are a HOOT. I am definitely subbing this TR!!! Can't wait for more stories. Did u get photobucket figured out?

 

[winkers]

Sorry...

I've been to Idaho too...

in defense of Idaho....parts of it are gorgeous....it's just the southern part that is blaahhh and lacking in natural beauty. I drive through it at least 2 times a year......it's brown and beige.
But northern Idaho is lovely!

Yeah, you have a VERY good point there!!

 

[RockinDisney]

I actually meant to post even with bad friends and GOOD wine can't a great time be had...maybe I have had to much wine

 

[vamassey1]

I haven't been to Idaho either, but my son and his wife went this summer and loved it. They were in the upper corner.

I want to see pictures too!

 

[eliz991]

Seriously?? I'll have to run this by my sailor.

He is right about this -- as in "we are fighting for a just cause" not as in "we are fighting this here war just 'cuz we feel like it."

Can't wait for the next installment!

Me either! I'm here and hooked, Colt!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Don't mind me.

Actually, I thought it was funny! I'm from Texas, but I'd never thought of it your way before.

You mentioned a sailor - where are you in Virginia? I used to live in Va Beach/work in Norfolk. I was once engaged to a guy who worked at the Newport shipyard after getting out of the navy.

 

[joy13]

This is going to be good - I can tell!

As for how often you should post installments - more often than me my last update was 2/7

 

[HARVEYSGIRL]

Keep it up!

We're in Virginia Beach. My husband is currently deployed on an aircraft carrier out of Norfolk. I love VA Beach!

The airplane was a CRJ200 50 passenger commuter aircraft. What this means is its small! The seats are 2x2 with an aisle down the middle and it has just one commode. As I said, I was not seated with the family. I was one row in front of them.

In the window seat next to me sat a slender woman which made plenty of room for me. She was buried in a book as I got situated.

I felt a hand from behind reach around and rub my shoulder. “It will be ok, honey”. She’s a good woman.

Unfortunately, her words of encouragement did little to snuff out the terror brewing inside of me. I was really missing those peyote buttons right then.

As the aircraft left the ground and headed skyward, I was up and out of the seat, headed to the tail where the bathroom awaited me.

I felt secure in the enclosed area. No windows to show me how high we are. I turned the little air thingy on me, splashed some water on my face, and settled in. I didn’t get sick. I was just secure in the enclosed area.

After my first divorce, I used to live in a shed out behind the Farm & Ranch store when it wasn’t full of inventory. It was small, but I always slept so well. There was a certain sense of security when I’d padlock the door shut, snuff out the candle and climb in bed. This bathroom sort of took me back to those days.

I’m not sure how long I was in there, but eventually there was a knock at the door followed by a “are you ok in there”? I replied I was fine and whoever it was apparently went away.

A while later the wife knocked and with a stern voice inquired as to what in the hell I was doing. I knew that voice. That voice required action. I opened the door to the latrine and found my wife looking up at me with a furrowed brow. I then looked beyond her and saw a line of people, apparently waiting to use the once occupied commode. I blushed.

I never even considered that someone else might need it. About this time a female voice came on telling us to take our seats and buckle up for our final approach into Denver, followed by a mournful groan from those in line.

We all took our designated seats, landed, and got off the plane. There was a lot of folks running past me as we departed. I assume these were the same people that were in the line.

I had survived the first segment from Boise to Denver and it went by pretty quickly for me too. I patted myself on the back, smiled, and led the family out in search of food.

I'm in a rush as I'm taking a customer to dinner tonight but I promise to reply to all the comments.

Thanks for tuning in.
