"Camp Scooter" Newsletter

GREETING FROM "CAMP SCOOTER"!

Ok...mission one accomplished: Got My Burger Deluxe!

THANK YOU to the 3 young ladies, Bob The Van Eating Dog fans all, who enabled your humble narrator to have the meal! And Bob LOVES the chewy treats you left him.

Couple of other events of note:

Thank you to who brought the PetCo items for Bob. The treats and toys were greatly appreciated. Bob has plenty of food, and I have no room for the B I G bag you so graciously left us, so I donated it to an animal rescue via the aforementioned 3 young ladies.

Thank you to an old friend who got me a gift certificate to The Budd Lake Diner that was used for coffee this morning and will be used in the coming days.

THANK YOU to Vincenzo's Pizza (973-691-8282) who support "Camp Scooter" all the time!

EDITED TO ADD: I got distracted when typing before and did not give Thanks to the lovely young lady who gave Bob The Van Eating Dog a day at the spa! She has one of these mobile dogie grooming mobiles and I approached when she pulled into the Budd Lake diner parking lot. She offered to pamper Bob gratis and he feels like a new Dog! So a big "WOOF" thanks from Bob! When next she drives by, I will get her number and company name to post. My memory is not what it used to be, subsequent my recent hospital stay.

Next campaign: V E R Y hot and steaming open Roast Beef sandwich with mashed and veggies. A salad would be nice as well.

Hey...if I don't ask....

Ongoing Campaign: Raise funds to reinstate car insurance so "Camp Scooter" can be mobile once more.

Here's hoping....

Greetings From "Camp Scooter"

And Salutations from Bob The Van Eating Dog!

I see y'all from the diner there checking out the blog from your iPhones, Blackberry's, etc. Here's a little note from moi.

I AM HUNGRY AS ALL GET OUT!!!

I would LOVE a cheeseburger (provolone if available, or American) with Onions, Lettuce, and Tomato! A side of REALLY crispiy fries would be heavenly!

Just sayin'

Dear State Of Wyoming

It's been almost a year since going to your magnificent state has been a goal of mine. But it seems every time I set a date to head out, something major happens. From a heart attack to diverticulitis, bad weather to a laptop epic fail, something get's in the way.

But I am determined this time to make it there, or bust!


One month from today, July 25th, 2010, I plan on departing the Garden State for The Equality State! The Conversion Van Of Wonders along with Bob The Van Eating Dog and I will trek westward in search of the final place to lay my hat. Your state has so much to be desired, such as:


Low Unemployment
No Income Tax
Less that a million residents
Stunning and wide open landscape
Calmer way of life, but for the challenging winters
And I could possibly go grouse hunting with Dick Cheney!

(But I most likely would stay upwind!)


My previous state of intent was Iowa, but that has become so liberal it's like California and Massachusetts mated and gave birth in the midwest. I seek to be in as red a state as possible.


Here is what I bring to the table. Significant backgrounds and experience in:


Video Production
Electronic News Gathering
Commercial Production From Scripting To Producing, Shooting, and Narrating
Automotive Maintenance And Service Advising
Print Journalism


And much more......


My most recent malady prevents me from leaving any sooner, due to follow up care and such. Thus, the date of July 25th, the day after my 55th birthday. I consider this a present to myself.

So, State Of Wyoming, I look forward to tasting, smelling, experiencing, and enjoying all you have to offer. The Conversion Van Of Wonders will be easy to spot as I make my way westward. Anyone spotting it, please feel free to wave or stop by and say "Howdy"!

And should anyone want to help me along in this adventure, donations are certainly welcomed and gratefully accepted. Simply use the "Donate" button to the right.

However, here's the BIGGEST reason I want to be in Wyoming

Devil's Tower!

Rumor has it that the movie "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" was based on actual events there. I present this clip as further evidence. Enjoy, and see y'all soon!
