Hmm... your "source" sure seems to know a lot. I better be careful what I say. But remember... I have my "sources" too!

ah, so you did earn all those badges. my source wasn't so sure

Ah, i'd post pictures if i had any, but my digital camera is dead and my computer is close to it. I'll procure a new camera soon one way or another. I have to, i'm gonna hike around Mount Hood next week.

To be more precise about my Fair costumes: I was a Boy Scout in a skirt, not a dress. The scout shirt and merit-badge sash (all of which i actually earned) with a nicely matching skirt. It's amazing how popular an outfit it is every time i drag (no pun intended) it out. All kinds of former Scouts shake my hand, say how great they think it is. And the ladies... hoo-eee, do they ever LOVE it. And what's under it. (HA! Just kidding. Mostly.)

People loved the Homeland Security uniform too, and the shiny gold and silver stuff with the football shoulders.

I was there and can attest to Dan's creative fair-garb. Not a mere boyscout in a dress however, but an Eagle Scout in a Dress. He was indeed the Belle of the Bus Crew. Although Mike, a fully-bearded and mustachiod hippie who donned his wife's sequined red mini-dress, did give Dan a run for his money.

Dan, how about posting a picture or two?

yes, I heard about your fashion-sense at the fair - one day silver & gold, the next a boyscout in a dress!

Is this true?
