Preparing for the Back End of Beyond


Facebook gallery is here.

Well, so Dan Franek, tall of build, blond of hair and fast of foot, is moving back out West for family reasons and we're all sorry to see him go. He has a gracious, affable air and is a formidable tanguero ... and a very nice guy.

So saying Matt Duvenick, his roomy (shown left) threw a little "affair" for him. A small crowd showed up, friends, well-wishers, camp followers, the like.

It turn out to be surprisingly pleasant. Ordinarily such events tax my ability to stay socially focussed - but for a while this seemed entirely pleasant and fun.

More fun came when Matt demonstrated his technique - almost one could say "passion" - for using a vacuum pump to prep toilet paper for his trip. It was observed that it might be the first time such necessities were vacuum packed inthe hsitory of SoPo.

The paper in question is a physical requirement, though why one couldn't just use the Snake River as one of the largest bidet in the world is beyond me. Maybe I'm just slow.

If you click on the Facebook link you can see the whole progression from start to finish. It was really fascinating and led to all sorts of comments.

Hmmmm.
