Word From Rich T

[JD]

Rich is ok and doesn't have a tally on damage to his personal trails
yet. They are on limited generator power, but other than being hot, it
doesn't seem like it's too distressing compared to people further West
of Mobile. He said he'll drop me an email when they are back on the
grid.

They're gone and you can't even get them with the Wayback Machine. He's
dedicated his Website to their business (him and his wife).

Yeah, the URLs are still there in google, but its not on the server. A
searched images.google.com, but sadly just found that there are an awful
lot of people who can't spell amber.

it was a graphic novel of sorts, more arty than a comic strip, featuring
many amb regulars, in jokes, commentary on threads, etc. You knew you were
"in" here at AMB if you made into the AM-bar....

Dang, I should have saved the one with me in it.

Hey! My nose was twitching.
I have no trails any more. Hurricane Ivan wiped them out last year. I
tried a couple of times to recut but my heart was no longer in it. I
quit riding all together. Last week I used my tractor to open up some
logging trails thinking that would be a good start to get back on the
bike. I got two rides in before Hurricane Katrina.

We just got power restored today and tomorrow morning I'll crank up the
tractor and see what I can do. It's a mess here.

I'm sorry the Am-Bar toons are gone. There are a lot of boring reasons
for that. I still have them stored somewhere.

Anyhoo, thanks for thinkin bout me. I closed my business Jan 1 and am
now a true bum. Lovin every minit of it.

Ivan the Terrible! At least you are back on the bike again.

I can imagine. I lived in Biloxi from April '82-September '82 and they
were still yakking about Frederick and Camille.

Nobody really said "toon" before, so now it all makes sense. I wasn't sure
if it was a real bar or a summin else.

I think the best description would be color toon-strip. The bar was the
"official" amb pub/hang-out with a couple FSRs leaning against the wall.
You would see the view of the bar from the outside and never see a
real person.... rarely even a silhouette of a person. The bar was always
the same with the same bike(s) leaning against the wall. Text balloons
coming from the windows of the bar with witty comments about current
affairs @ alt-amb.

They truly were classics.
