No shiite, Rodster - we are gonna get along just fine. I grew up in central PA and LOVED the Rat Patrol. Christopher George was the coolest guy ever (remember his series The Immortal"?????) and that show - oh my God that show!!!! It never left me. I ended up moving to CA, buying a Jeep, and running all over the desert with the windshield down and goggles on shooting assault rifles as I went. ROFLMFAO
There is some weird connection I have with the desert. I dunno what it is, but it is strong and emotional and WEIRD! I LOVE the feel of the sun on your arm like your skin is touching hot metal. I love the dryness. The stark barren moonscape. The silence. Maybe it is memories of The Rat Patrol, maybe it is some strange past life, maybe I'm just a freakin nutbar - but when I am out in the desert and well armed, I feel...um... in my element.
I'm looking forward to sharing MY desert with you all.
