Watched an episode of The Real West on the History Channel this morning.
Title of the show was 'Dodge City'. Seems John Wesley Hardin called the
Kansas cow towns the wildest places on earth. Yep, men were men, and the
women wept. Seems it was sorta like San Carlos, Sonora has been for all
these years. You'll only find gringos who have a sense for real
adventure and know how to live, outdoor types. Not a prissy metrosexual
like Harry Krause or Gene Kearns among 'em.

Oh my! Skipper has learned a new word 'metrosexual'.
Used it twice in the last two days.

I know you're tying for a tugjob here, Snippy, since you can't get
attention by posting anything of value, so...here's a few grafs to make
you happy.

Metrosexual? Gene? Me? Have you ever seen a photo of Gene? He looks like
a member of the ZZ Top band. He teaches, has a machine shop and flies
airplanes.

Metrosexual:

"Metrosexual (along with the concept, metrosexuality) is a term coined
in 1994 in an article in the The Independent by British journalist Mark
Simpson, shortly after the publication of his book about contemporary
masculine identity Male Impersonators: Men Performing Masculinity.

"In his seminal essay, Simpson described the effect of consumerism and
media proliferation, particularly the men’s style press, on traditional
masculinity. The metrosexual, he says, is an urban male of any sexual
orientation who has a strong aesthetic sense and spends a great deal of
time and money on his appearance and lifestyle."

Yes-sir-ee, Gene and I are right out of the pages of GQ, spending a
great deal of our time and money on our stellar appearance and lifestyle.

"Hey, Gene, can I borrow your $400 pair of designer jeans?" "I'll loan
you this pair of rhinestone-studded boat shoes."

You're nekulturny, Snipper.

Oh, and Hardin? He was a criminal. Is he your idol? Did he, too, have
troubles with the DoJ?

What happened to your plans to move to the west coast and buy a trawler,
Snipper?

Why are you still in Derby, Kansas? You must be close to 70 by
now...maybe your wife can stick your carcass in that rotten old Baylner,
light it afire and give you the Viking funeral you so badly need.


Better make it on the Sea of Cortes.... even Derby, Kansas must have
anti-pollution laws.

Unless something has changed in the last ten years, the Sea of Cortes also
has it's problems.
