.....Where are Andrea and Crew, in Niceville, fl.. on saturday clyde my friend at the shows, found out about this show the oh don't laugh ... ok Laugh.. The Mullet festival which draws a said 40,000 to the area for a fun filled weekend here.. some known country entertainment and a booth at the last minute for Up Your Ear.. i spoke with the man in charge Mr. Mason.. and while on the phone mentioned my overwhelming meetings over the summer with masons.. and how my grandfather, was a mason, and my grand mother an eastern star.. he didn't know if there would be space for any more jewelry.. but would get back to me.. so i decided to drive north to I10 and when i got there i stopped to call mr mason back.. i was either driving west to Durango... or east for a last shot at some extra bucks so needed.. Mr. Mason said come on down..( as it turns out.... M. Mason is a Mason.. ) so thanks to the masons.... i'm working.. or the heavens, i would much rather have been nearly in Durango by now but that wasn't in the script quite yet.. and maybe not on this trip at all.. sadly Wally isn't well enough to handle company right now.. and as time goes by , likely they won't want company at all .. so that's that for the hope of ever seeing them .. This was my first time in all these years where it might even b possible .. as it was on my way home to L.A and it wasn't going to be an extra expense.. there's no flying to Durango at 800+ dollars for a ticket.. heck out side of the 2 day drive the gas would be cheeper.. but who has 4 days extra to just drive.. so .. hope Wally feels better soon..as they made it clear i was not welcome.. at this time..

As for us .. were already in Niceville and i have a visitor coming to see us..oh boy.. Believe it or not.. Joe is flying into the airport this afternoon, for a few fun days here in Niceville, This place sounds like a place Sam Champion would point out, on good morning america or something.. and yesterday there was enough rain to broadcast nation wide.. finally got out to do laundry late afternoon..grab a bite to eat and a gallon of milk..

met a woman at the laundry telling me all about BP.. and how her settlement would be coming soon.. she just started talking about it to me out of the blue.. there are signs everywhere lawyers selling there advice to help those in need.. fucking lawyers.. always an opportunity to reap the $$$$ on the backs of the mistreated.. who can't get there dues rightfully without spending more money.. and the cover up on what they did down here. evidently they BP, that is, or whom ever, put something into the oil to make it sink.. so at the bottom of the sea sits oil.. The repercussions of this "well" be everlasting.. and like any story.. u really don't know what's going on unless u go there for ur self.. and who can do that.. i have heard New Orleans is still a mess.. maybe i'll stop there to see for myself when i'm on my way home...hum now that might be interesting..could go for some shrimp with romalade sauce only from there.. will ask my friends Gail and Greg where to go!! i loved it so i bought a case umteen years ago.. it must be great when u remember food from so long ago..

speaking of food looks like i might try some smoked Mullet.. hummm . i report back on that one!!

as for the rest of my day.. gonna clean up around here put laundry away.. get some work done.. apply to a show or 2 and then off to the airport to find a man in a uniform looking much like the pilot!!! so much fun.. check in tonight for the show and change camping sites.. this may not quite cut it for us all.. need room for a tent! hahaha..

be well my friends.. so look forward to finding out how this weekend will turn out.. and finally getting on the road home.. seems so far away.. and yet right around the corner.. the many see u laters a bit more behind me the.. the hellos and welcome home to come.. oh my.. my brightly lit living room the sun shining in .. waking up and knowing where the heck u r..missing all the while the road..

my uncharted future..

Andrea and crew..

good morning readers, just a quick up date and a follow up to yesterdays news.. birmingham is about 5 hours away so they did come from some distance, and met many customers yesterday from farther f=reaches, tennessee, pensecola, oh now there's a story.. evidentially the water down that way was the color of radiator fluid as the oil came in.. and The pres did not swim in the gulf, he was in st andrews bay.. not the same according to that source... don't want to mistaken in my reporting..

as for yesterdays turn out, hot as hell and lots of fun.. i was busy at last.. felt i was on a roll, like the good ol days.. and my two other competitors were most surely unhappy i was there!!! ha haha ha ha ha.. The big tall gooff from georgia and the other coupke from fl. the girl without teeth.. dear good, and her husband.. They're not half the competition as the boys who invaded my teritory in norwalk.. met a writing teacher, that was exciting, expect cindy, will be a new reader.. or at least i hope so.. an amazing woman who road up in one of those electric chairs, having been in a serious car accident some years back.. after being told that she would never do this or that, she proved the doctors and na sayers who's boss, went and got a degree and now teachesliterature, and writing.. another one of us that no has little meaning!!

as for some other funnies the school girls next to me were selling t-shirts and $1 sodas, they kept saying loudly t-shirts $5 dollars, i then looked at the shirts and one said Pleasure island and the second shirt evidently a miss print that said... Please Her Island.., i told them to stop singing $5 becuz that's not what they r selling and instead strt hollering Pleasure Island or PLEASE HER ISLAND ... u pick it.. suddenly they had a crowd buying guess what PLEASE HER ISLAND!!! SHIRTS.. of course the mom's immediately shut that down!!! the girls are probably only 16-17.. what they don't get that...hahahaha so funny.. i bought 4 thought they might make good gifts!!!! personally think i should make a line of panties called Please her island wear.. oh god did i write that!!!! but truly wouldn't it be a great seller, hey there victoria.. her cums a whole new line of undergarments that tells the whole story...

ok off my money making ideas so many so little money to make that happen.. whats in a name.. thats all it takes, and a product can either sell or sit on the shelf.. Like Up Your Ear... it just works..

and i'm off and running more tired each day, wondering if i'll open on time.. hot as hell another day.. at least with this heat i can't tell the difference between the weather and my hot flashes!!! just one long hot spell!! and a gallon of water at a buck a pop from the high schoolers next door..

i'll be driving tomorrow.. lets see how far i get..

love u all
andrea and crew
