Re: Charlie's Photo Journal

Actually, is it okay if I send Charlie out on the 23rd of this month...for two reasons.

1) I don't get paid until next Thursday, I don't want to have to borrow money form my parents to post him.
2) Harry Potter is being released on Saturday, as a diehard fanatic I would love to be able to take him to the book release in my town

Re: Charlie's Photo Journal

Fine with me, but please make sure he gets posted as soon as possible. As lovely as Australia is, he still has most of the United States to see.

Re: Charlie's Photo Journal

Instead of putting the images here, I'm simply going to put the links, for 2 reasons.
1) I take A LOT of photos...
2) I understand that people here are on dial-up connections, and to help with page loading speeds it's easier for them to go with urls links instead of actual images.

On Saturday night, I had to work so Charlie tagged along with me.

Re: Charlie's Photo Journal

I finally have clearance to post some of our photos of "Otis" as he has now left the safe house for his next destination.

Unfortunately, we don't have any photos before the tragic incident occurred.

Luckily, though, we got plenty of the incident. In fact, some stranger was able to capture the kidnapping on camera, though the perp remains at large.

The kidnapping:



The kidnapper doing we-don't-want-to-know-what to "Otis":



Heartbreaking view:


A picture of "Otis" in his cell:



A close up (his poor head!)

Aww! That was fantastic! GO OTIS!

Can he now be called Charlie? Or is he still Otis?

Re: Charlie's Photo Journal

If you have read through the last couple of pages patchatch you will find that no-one can get Charlie that isnt on the already formulated list. We are nearing the end of the list (only one more person to go after Suzi then T), so hopefully another trip is run in the future.
