The Cormanus Chronicles: Looking after a mate's mental health

[pdedse]

Wonderful!!

I always enjoy a new edition of Cormanus Chronicles!

It's funny...I have met only a small number of forum members over 7,8 years on the forum having attended only one west coast rally. I "know" most of you by your forum nicknames, so it's fun to see faces attached to the names.

The main connection I make is someone's forum name with location. "Cormanus" conjures up squiggly blue lines on maps in eastern Australia. "Ferret" means a wooded driveway somewhere in Ohio. I see "peterbaron" responds to someone and I shiver with cold from Canada..."GoldOxide" and "Gone in 60" always confuse me though, one's always avoiding LA traffic and the other is just as cold as peterbaron. "EmptySea / MTC" means Chicago, "LordPopgun" back east, I think he and "Houtman" are middle Atlantic... "Dave" in San Diego, "max" and "treedoc" are island bound just east over the horizon from Cormanus, deserts images pop into my mind when "tod.branko" posts, "Jfro5687" means "Big Ben"...and many others...

I know, silly associations... but I think it's cool that there's so many places, trips cultures, values, ideas shared here--all brought together by a common affection for a little maching on two wheels.

Keep the Chronicles coming!!
