Friday Flash 55.....



Lewis and Clark never grew tired of the majesty.
Around every bend in the river, atop every overlook,
they alone were the first white men to set eyes on
America's unspoiled beauty! As the pair made their
way up the jagged outcropping, something was boldly
carved on the mountain side......
"FRED 03"
WAS HERE!!

.

Theres always one in every crowd isn't there?
If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55
Please come tell The G-Man
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment....Then BOOK!!!
So from the most gracious host from coast to coast...
Have a Kick Ass Week-End!

    I think there actually were graffiti--but they were Native American petroglyphs.

    Okay, okay, so yours is funnier.

    I got off my bed of deathly sickness to play. Fortunately, I already had this one ready to go:

    Lewis and Clark wonder what their take on Americana today would be?

    Always a funny take on things

    Fred...now, I was expecting you to go on and on about them seeing the beautiful young lady, Sacajawea, who made the majesty look ugly...ah well.

    Oh, man... I think I wrote that at Rooster Rock, once!

    I once drank wine where it's reported that the whole caravan landed and first saw the ocean. Heady stuff - the wine and the surf.

    I shook off responsibility and played (first time in a while!)

    and counting...

    Got the bail money ready, sweetheart?

    Happy Friday, Galen! Glad to see you still in good sassy form. I've been working my poor fingers to the bone this month, but my cat made me write a 55 this week. Actually, she dictated the thing and I won't vouch for it. All I'll say is that it is, indeed, 55 words if you count the title.

    I like your L&C piece lots. Like them lots. Have visited Fort Clatsop, their winter encampment and it's a great museum.

    I'm back this week, here. Thanks for the fun.

    In my opinion, there's nothing ruins a view like the faux names of people who feel it necessary to tag everything like dogs with piss. That said, I do have a fondness for street art - which many people consider graffiti.

    My 55 is here

    Have a kick ass weekend, sir.

    Galen, a million rupees is about $5000, but in India we have cars that would cost as much as 20 million and more. We do have Ferrari yes!
