Nay! Boil my blood! Good for you kids for standing up to them.

Even if Edgar's explanations were a little incoherent at times, he clearly took pride in his role as an educator and to disregard that role was the height of rudeness. By the way, Michelle, I said I'd send you my blog address, so here it is: http://aguidetomyrecordcollection.blogspot.com/ If you know anything about Peruvian rock and roll, feel free to weigh in.Stephen Akeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07742917212034276113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014224720668272300.post-26781353507644773572010-05-25T21:21:59.685-04:002010-05-25T21:21:59.685-04:00kara, i don't doubt for a minute that you were...kara, i don't doubt for a minute that you were sitting next to this woman! ouch! at least i had the ability to walk away though. a 15 hour flight may have killed me.Miss Dewey Decimalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14280533711800816928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014224720668272300.post-65929916620252596322010-05-25T21:19:51.165-04:002010-05-25T21:19:51.165-04:00stephen, i could never write anything negative abo...stephen, i could never write anything negative about you! you and dean (and john too) were a pleasure to be around! the BCs were an extreme case of "selfishness and crassness" as you put it, and needed to be documented. with that said though, i do try to keep my faith in the human race. usually. and the rest of the group really were excellent company for our adventure.Miss Dewey Decimalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14280533711800816928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014224720668272300.post-22758960208642044912010-05-25T19:42:54.092-04:002010-05-25T19:42:54.092-04:00Hey, Michelle, I've been catching up with your...Hey, Michelle, I've been catching up with your exemplary blog. Please don't do to me what you did to the British Columbians! The thing is, though, you're completely right. Every now and then you meet people who in their selfishness and crassness make you despair of the human race. Such were the British Columbians. On the other hand, their pettiness and malice made the uncomplaining rectitude of the porters seem even more heroic. So as you can see, I'm trying to keep the faith. It was lovely having you on the journey.Stephen Akeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07742917212034276113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014224720668272300.post-90677442973580555402010-05-25T16:09:25.723-04:002010-05-25T16:09:25.723-04:00I swear I sat next to this woman on a plane from L...I swear I sat next to this woman on a plane from LA to Sydney.
