Our "exit interview" was scheduled for 8:00 this morning. Another joke... we dropped off the form they gave us, turned in our badges and IDs, showed proof that we turned in our uniforms, and that was it. No interview. I asked the young lady if anyone would review the paperwork, and she said, "Absolutely." Good thing I took the time to type up a letter.
We had the trailer ready to roll, except for loading the motorcycle into it; had to wait until we could pull the trailer forward to drop the back ramp. We were driving away shortly after 9:00. Joan's eyes teared up as we left the campground... we were very excited about the jobs here; neither of us wanted to leave, but we simply could not work in this negative environment.
I had the opportunity to visit with the other Lake Queen captain this morning before we left. Paul and Pat are wonderful people and we didn't want them to think we were just bolting.
We have put the nastiness of the past few days behind us and are looking forward to enjoying the rest of our summer. I will post the contents of our "exit letter" a bit later when I can take it off the other computer.
In the meantime, we are in the western foothills of the Big Horn Mountains and will be heading for the beautiful Black Hills tomorrow.

About Us
- Captain Jim and the Blonde
- Now based in Arizona, coast to coast, United States
- We retired in 2006. Since then, we spent a few years traveling on our boat, Wild Blue. From the Florida Keys to Desolation Sound in Canada, San Francisco Bay to the Erie Canal and down the Hudson River to New York City... going where the weather suits our clothes. Now traveling by land in our Winnebago motorhome, and newly based out of Arizona. A while back, I published a book about our travel adventures with Molly the Boat Cat; Cat On A Leash is available in paperback and all eBook formats. Molly taught me a lot. After Molly, there was 9 great years with the sweetest cat ever, Izzy (Isabella); our little supermodel feline. Our hearts were broken when her time came, and we are now enjoying our big boy, Rufus - another shelter rescue, with a wonky ear, a great attitude, and so happy to have found "his people." Eight years of "fun summer jobs" has taken us to some great places to be in the summer. Now, appreciating being gainfully unemployed. And getting out on our bikes (a Honda CTX for me, a Yamaha Xmax for Joan). Still anxious to see what is over the horizon.
