Another “Bolt from the Blue” … but this time from a real UFO—a Unique Friend and Observer of my nutty activities

It was like a bolt from the blue when I learned in Mid-August of 2007 that my closest friend and fellow UFOlogist--although Bill is a real UFOlogist and I’m a simple pretender—was about to move here to Ocean Shores and re-cement our friendship and (possibly) our UFO hunting activities.

His own UFO activities are sky-rocketing with the growth of both his website and his wide-ranging UFOlogist activities, particularly his "senior scientist" duties with the History Channel’s “UFO Hunters.”



Thus, you possibly can understand how I felt when he zapped me from behind three weeks ago to tell me that he was … returning to the Seattle area ... and then was GONE two weeks later. The picture just above doesn't do my feelings justice. It was another bolt from the blue, only this time my UFO buddy’s impulsiveness really wounded the tired and lonely old man he’s leaving behind in Ocean Shores. (But, for the record and believe it or not, I agreed wholeheartedly with his reasons for returning to big city life--and after all, Seattle is only a three-hour drive from Ocean Shores!)

Thank the Lord for the recent arrivals of my brother, Richard, and his beloved mutt, Sweetheart. I guess I'll survive, although the burn on the right side of my face certainly smarts!
