Afterglow - Rage for Timmy

Pete and Gail got a new dog. I think its name is Summit or something skiing or mountain related. Right now it was just a puppy but Gail promised us that she was going to grow a whole lot bigger. Brian said that by the next time he came up here (which would most likely be in July of 2012) that he would strap a saddle on her and ride around the property. Gail came out to talk with us and questioned our intentions to go swimming. She doesn't understand why we would cruelly subject our bodies to that torture, but then again she doesn't understand.

I walked down to the dock outside of our cabin and took these pictures of the lake so that you would have an idea of that times were like up here outside of the week in July that we are used to. The skies are overcast and everything is brown. That doesn't really make me want to rage but if there is one thing that I have learned about raging it's not where you are but who you are with. And I had 3 of the all time top ragers with me.

We had promised each other via the usual "if you don't swim every day at Afterglow you owe $5 to everyone who does and you get an atomic wedgie from everyone else" pact that we would go swimming. Yes, we know that it is October 29 and not ideal conditions for swimming. But we didn't care because we were here to Rage for Timmy. Jenny was the only one who declined the invite to swim. She raged in other ways.

Brian and Kevin are a bunch of weirdos. I don't know how many times I can keep pointing it out before you all realize it too. Sure, they are reasonable members of society despite not contributing to it but for the most they are pretty good guys. Most people don't get them but then again their intentions were never to be understood. I'm just filling space here now folks because I'm too distracted by these pictures. What can I say that will make you feel better about your lives? Shit I don't know. Ask these crazy cats for some advice. I'm all out.

This was the firs time I was here in fall and right away I could tell it was going to be different. Just look at this place! It looks like a desolate wasteland. But at the same time it was absolutely beautiful.

We didn't bring another thing except a change of clothes and booze (mom was bringing all the groceries and toiletries) so after a trip to the restroom Kevin washed his hands with Gatorade. It's sanitary.
