The Traveling Fool - Issue #41
By Bob Bales • Issue #41 • View online
This month’s newsletter is a little late. It seems someone opened a few accounts under my name and went on a spending spree. It took me awhile to get it all sorted out. They even tried to buy a Mercedes automobile. At least the fake me has good taste.
Other than that I am getting ready for a trip to the great State of Georgia in a couple of weeks then Montana in September. It should be a great time.
Are you headed anywhere this summer? If so drop me an email and tell me about your trip. editor@thetravellingfool.com
