To cliffordu Thank you my friend and neighbor
and a great DUer for your humor, honesty and your own
personal stories.

A man that supported me when I had nothing
and had to leave and found and photographed the house I built and designed after I lost all my photos because of my necessitated travels of these days.

I hope you see this my friend.

The house he photographed




Country Joe McDonald at my House late at night


Not a great photo but when you move around the world........
You lose some things.

9. Yes it was.. but I just needed to call him out personally.
My kids grew up in that house and were happy to see
that photo on what it looks like now.

Cliff is a brave man that has paid
a price on his service to the US

NOW THEY SHIt ON HIM....

13. I'm a part time Janitor
and I like the mental and physical Zen about it, plus doing it
while listening to my iPod university stuff.

My health is better but i'm still not
legitimate here.

I'm in diplomatic limbo.

BUT ONE HELL OF AN ADVENTURE AT MY AGE.

23. I am of the same opinion about DUers..
I don't like meeting new people, as a general rule.
I have issues with strangers, crowds, and noisy places....

But every time I've met DUers IRL, it was GREAT.
Just absolutely GREAT. Even when it was crowded and noisy.

DU members: Just the best people ever.
