Welcome to real life Kitty. Hangovers are not allowed in your Forties.

Doc I've been to a couple of places like this in the DR, Mexico, and Costa Rica, and yes they'll be making appearances here soon.

I tend to agree with you George to a degree. I like some of his works, but I do admire his lifestyle more than his writing. This guy understood how to live life on his terms.

Days Gone By... (Reply to this comment)
by DrJ008
Great review, James. The tradition of signing names to a bar's walls takes me back to a place I had long forgot. Some 20 miles south of Fairbanks is a tiny lodge and trailer park named Skinny Dick's. The owner and proprietor of this little watering hole is none other than Skinny Dick himself, who is every bit as thin and rowdy as his name suggests.
The tradition in this quaint establishment is to sign dollar bills and tack them upon the ceiling of the main chamber and bar. I'm not sure if Skinny's ever counted them, but there must be several thousand dollars lining the inner sanctum of this odd dwelling; straight out of a Hunter S. Thompson novel.
Again, thanks for taking me back, as well as opening my eyes to a corner of the world I've yet to visit.
Regards,
DrJ

If my stampede (Reply to this comment)
by purrkitty
hangover ever goes away, I'll try that drink... For now, even the reading the word rum makes me ill...
Gawd, I decided to party for my last Stampede in my 30's... I sure can't party like I use to, boy am I paying for it. I'm really middle aged!
OMG, how did this happen!
Mid-Life Crisis kitty
By the way, excellent epinion as always.

While I didn't think (Reply to this comment)
by George_Chabot
much of Papa as a writer, I did admire his macho life-style. I got a bunch of old Argosy and other men's magazines from the 40s-50s and there was old Ernest fishing and hunting. He also appeared in ads like for Ballantine's beer.
Great read!

If I knew a week in advance that the world was ending, the last thing I'd be doing is spend it sitting in front of a computer screen. Especially reading some of my dribble.
I'd be.... dammmit, I can't do that anymore the better half would kill me. Wait a minute the world's ending anyway so what the ..........

Do you ever suffer?
If I discovered a week in advance, the world was going to end, I'd run over to your profile page and copy a stack of reviews to read, so that at least I could die living "the good life" vicariously...

tourism the fun way!!! (Reply to this comment)
by Tibullus
The haunts of famous people are always fun to visit. For instance, when i was in Rome I visited the Cafe Greco (I think that's what its name was) where Keats, Shelley and Byron were fond of spending their time.
Great review!!
