Whilst hiking in Yosemite National Park last week, we ran into a kindly gent atop a 9,000-foot peak near Lembert Dome. The views up there were spectacular and he forgot to bring his camera. So he asked us to take some photos of him & his family and email them to him. He gave us his card, which contained his email address .. and a gold seal beside the title "State Senator". I probably should protect his privacy, but I can say his state is north of the Mason-Dixon and east of the Mississippi. It's also Sharon's home state, so they had plenty of common ground to discuss. Being the skeptic I am, I looked him up on the Internet, and that's really the guy. He seemed like a regular chap .. huffing & puffing in the thin mountain air .. just like me. His wife was down to earth and we even liked his son. In fact, the Senator took this photo of us. If I remember my US Government correctly, each state has two senators. Anyway, I received a note from him today thanking us for the pics. Maybe someday he'll repay the favor by taking care of a parking ticket for me. |
