On the Way to Colorado

I had a great time at the recent rallies in California and Nevada. I met lots of "old" friends and made some new ones. The Fulltimers rally in Hemet was lots of fun and the food was excellent. One of the best seminars I have been to many years was given by a former Madam of a brothel in Pahrump, NV. She gave lots of insights into the profession and signed a book (Legal Tender) for me that she wrote about her six years running the business. The books provides lots of ideas most businesses could use concerning customer service.


In Pomona, cousins Jim and Pat stayed busy "working" security at the FMCA Family Reunion. It was a long week, but they sure did meet lots of interesting people. One incident involved a woman who lost her new smart phone. After checking lost and found and many of the places she had been in the previous 24 hours, she went back to her motor home. She used her husband's cell phone to call her own phone, and found it in a frying pay--under the bed!! When she saw us to report finding the smart phone, she added: "Now I can't find my husband." Husband was found eating a donut and she was so happy, because now she could attend the seminar hosted by the Geeks on Tour and learn how to use the new smart phone.


After Pomona, I spent a week in Palm Springs and am now ending a week on the Colorado River just south of Lake Havasu City. On Tuesday, it is off to Camp Verde for a week and then to Albuquerque, Pojoaque and Colorado Springs by May 2nd.


Warmest regards, Gus
