***Mini DU Meetup! CaliforniaPeggy & Liberaltrucker!***

[CaliforniaPeggy]

We had a blast! Here we are having lunch in Manhattan Beach:




And here we are on the Pier!




And a cloud picture just for fun!

[petronius]

1. Cool! Looks like LT survived all those red states...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear petronius!

He did indeed!

Thanks for coming by tonight!

But the question really is: Did they survive him?

[Ptah]

12. Red states?

AZ and NM have Democratic governors.

Calif has ?

Calif is home of FreeRepublic.

And we're red?

I think not.

Ptah

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My dear Ptah.......

When I say red, I mean the states that voted for the shrub, sweetie...

That's all.........don't be upset........



Did you like the pictures?

[Ptah]

16. You didn't say red, Peggy.

And it is always wonderful to see smiling DUers.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Thanks, sweetie........

Glad you like these!

[Kali]

26. Baja Arizona is much Bluer than Maricopazonalosangeles to the north.

[Ptah]

32. Baja Arizona voted for Gore and Kerry and Janet Napolitano

And we will be replacing U.S. RepKolbe (R)
with G. Giffords(D).

[petronius]

43. It was a reference to a previous thread (nt)

6. My dear GoPsUx!

He survived the repukes just fine, thanks!

And, you know, I took just one of these....but I did set up the others!

Our waitress obliged us at lunch.......and a kindly stranger on the pier took the pier shot, after I told him where to stand!

Glad to see you tonight, sweetie!

[Ptah]

There is much work behind the scenes!

[Left Is Write]

9. Cool! I love seeing all the places and people liberaltrucker has visited.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Yes, he sure does get around, doesn't he?

That's the trucker's life, indeed........

Thanks for coming by tonight!

[liberaltrucker]

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear SeattleGirl!

Hey........great to see you tonight, sweetie!

You know, your name came up today......LT was saying how sorry he was to miss you when he was up in Seattle.......

Next time I hope you get to meet him! He is the sweetest most considerate guy!

Thanks for stopping in!

[liberaltrucker]

20. They turned out better than I thought!

Bunny says hi and sorry she missed you. She had a nice
flight from Pittsburgh.

We're in Fontana enroute to Chicago. Thanks for the
company.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. My dear liberaltrucker!

Hi back at her!

It was a very fine time, indeed!

Yeah, they did turn out OK........

You drive safely now, you hear?

[rug]

21. That looks like a date.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. My dear rug!

Well, that's because it was!

We set this up several days ago........and we had a blast!

[Gormy Cuss]

25. How cool!

You and LT have been talking about a meet-up forever it seems.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear Gormy Cuss!

We have?

We've met before......we both went to the Ohio meet-up in August...

Thanks for coming by tonight!

[Gormy Cuss]

33. Well, it seems that way.

You always invite folks to come to MB, and everyone invites LT because they know that there's a chance he may show up someday!

[Redstone]

28. I do hope you said hello from me. He's a good guy.

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. My dear Redstone!

Alas, I forgot! But he will see the thread again, and I'm sure he will read your greeting here.....

Sorry.....And you are so right...he is one of the good guys!

Thanks for coming by tonight........

[liberaltrucker]

36. Howdy, Mr R!

Alas, time was very short. I had to meet Bunny at LAX
and Peggy had a previous appointment. So we didn't get
to talk nearly as much as we'd have liked. Having to
earn a living sucks sometimes.

[Redstone]

46. Don't it, though.

Redstone

[proud patriot]

30. Cool Cloud Picture

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. My dear proud patriot!

Thanks!

That was, BTW, the only one that I took........obviously!

And now you know what I look like........

[Kali]

34. Peggy, you are the smile of DU!

I sure hope to meet you in person someday. Liberaltrucker, be sure to give us a toot next time you are rolling through Texas Canyon ~ I-10 mp 317!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. My dear Kali!

Oooh, thank you so much!

I hope we can meet some day too.....Ya never know!

Is this pic near you? It's beautiful! And...did you take it?

Thank you for sharing it tonight........

[Kali]

38. yep. That house down there was built by my great grandfather

(in stages) starting in the 1880's. Picture was taken from about half way up Adams Peak looking pretty much due south across I-10.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

42. Thank you for giving me my bearings!

That must have been some hike! Better thee than me, I always say...

Your great-grandfather's house! How cool is that!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful pic......

[liberaltrucker]

39. You got it!

[asthmaticeog]

37. Cool!

A bit of an Ohio meetup reunion, there.

[liberaltrucker]

40. Yep

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. My dear asthmaticeog!

Well, sort of! Two out of how many? 20?

It was fun..........and it shows!

Glad to see you tonight!

[Haole Girl]

44. Wow, you did look like you had fun!

Thanks for sharing these! The cloud photo is cool, too..the way the sun is shining on the water in the distance...makes me miss the ocean.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. My dear KC2!

Oh, thank you sweetie!

We did have a lot of fun!

And I thought the cloud pic would be a nice addition......Thanks!

It was windy, though..........

[Starbucks Anarchist]

[CaliforniaPeggy]

49. My dear Starbucks Anarchist!

Sweetie! How lovely to see you tonight!

I hear you love New York!

I hope it's loving you right back!

[puerco-bellies]

50. Cool Beans..

Where did you guys eat?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

51. My dear puerco-bellies!

Oh, I just knew someone would ask! It's the restaurant on the corner of Man Beach Blvd. and that last alley before the Strand..on the south side of the street.....

And I do not remember the name! I've never eaten there before, and it was pretty good.......maybe even very good!

It has a nice view of the Pier, where we walked afterwards........

Thanks for coming by tonight!

[miss_american_pie]

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I'd love to know as many as possible...everyone I've met so far has been terrific!
