I got tired of "toning down" my stuff to make it more socially acceptable to various censors. There are 14 of the kinds of stories you used to ask for and two utterly straight pieces. <BR/><BR/>Unlike your work, which is fact-driven, emotionally-charged, and well-balanced, mine reflects an ongoing lack of psychiatric care. "Twisted Roads" is the result of a twisted mind on a motorcycle, I'm afraid.<BR/><BR/>I read your stuff all the time. Having spoken with you once, I hear your voice in everything you write.<BR/><BR/>Fondest regards.<BR/>Jack Riepe/Vindak8r<BR/>http://jackriepe.blogspot.com/Jack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-52639161509098299932008-02-28T03:07:00.000-06:002008-02-28T03:07:00.000-06:00Jack, so good to hear from you.

My Joe Rocket summer mesh jacket was standing by itself, smoking a cigarette. I ordered it into the washer, and it ran around screaming. The dogs cornered it in the kitchen.<BR/><BR/>I prefer ballistic textile over leather because it comes in my size. Steers come in my size too, but they shrink when they put the zippers in, apparently. And I still owe you a book, but I cannot find your address. <BR/><BR/>Fondest regards.<BR/>Jack Riepe/Vindak8r<BR/>http://jackriepe.blogspot.com/Jack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-67677626531894747862008-02-23T07:32:00.000-06:002008-02-23T07:32:00.000-06:00Looks like you had a great trip Sharon!

Since purchasing these two jackets my others have all be textile throughout--this cleaning challenge is partly why.<BR/><BR/>You've given me a new weekend project. I'll try the "saddle soap and elbow grease." It's a good thing these jackets are cute, or they'd have to go in the "don't wear pile." I don't like to work that hard to have fun.

I washed them like that a few times with no rips or snags. Don't forget to take all the pads out!Countersteerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15628773267961591768noreply@blogger.com
