WOW! Went to the library this afternoon expecting to read lots of
happy responses to Saturday's wonderful CT Gathering at the Sleepy
Giant and was simply amazed to find even more comments on F-counts!
What a fiesta of focus, both "on" and "off"-target (and color,too!)
Between the golden bright threads of friendship, the blushing red
roses, and the distant stares of green-eyed monsters, you guys are
certainly helping to keep our world colorful! Thanks!

Personally, this past weekend we too preferred to concentrate on our
X-count rather than our F-count, and managed to increase the former
by meeting and greeting a whopping 34 fun new letterboxers! Of
course, glad as we were to see some of our old friends, it would
never have crossed our minds to recount people we had already met,
just as we would never have even thought( before Randy mentioned it!)
of counting a hitcher again if we had already found it before!!! So
please lighten up, Randy et al. with the f-counting rules, and try to
come out and join us sometime on the golden highway, if you ever can!

Cheers,
Wanda P33 F1072 X163 (and,yes, I really did once when I
was very young have a little yellow chair named "Manners the Butler",
but I think it drowned in our skating pond forty odd years ago!)
