Maine - Part 4

A day of meandering around the town, sipping coffee and bumping into old friends was the order of the day (with a light hangover). As is usual he sought out the local newspaper and was particularly excited by the headline story. On further examination, and even more to his amusement, the story revealed that there had not in fact been any blueberry thefts. You cannot buy this sort of quality local journalism.

As evening approached he donned his best western gear (his luggage has turned up) for the night before BBQ in fancy dress. On the basis that Bill is originally from Oklahoma the theme was cowboy or Oklahoma (red and cream being the State colours) and we feel that our subject did an admirable job with a red and cream shirt to go with the big buckle and hat.

There were some pretty lame efforts around (your correspondent does not consider donning an Oklahoma University baseball cap to really count for much) but also some first rate cowboy shirts.
Unfortunately the photographer retained by us at Bogun Towers to record the evening was rather too enamoured of the beer being churned out of the brewery (where the event was being hosted) and so little photographic evidence remains.
