I was living in Portland, Oregon when I won the FGES contest, but I had moved to Seattle, Washington by the time they arrived (not complaining, Janie!).
I retired in August, and left Seattle on Halloween 2024. My intention is to travel the country in my VW EuroVan camper. I plan to try to take pictures of me wearing the Shorts at interesting and famous places I visit in my journey.
I was hoping to get a picture of me and the Shorts in front of the Seattle skyline, but didn't get good enough weather. So here's a bad fake:
The only way I can take a selfie that shows me wearing the FGES is by putting them on my head. The first time I did, the smell made me pass out, and I bumped my head.
I began to build up my resistance to the FGES by subjecting myself to increasingly longer exposures to the fumes, much like Wesley and the iocaine powder. After a few weeks I was able to tolerate them for up to 10 minutes, long enough to take a selfie.
Keep your dial glued to this blog for more entries in the FGES U.S.A. Tour.
