Is there an "New members introduce thread" stickied anywhere. Those are my favorite Smile

No but that's a great idea.  Should I make a new forum for that?

I think so, it helps encourage new members to be a part of the discussion. Plus it gives a little history for us to reference.

Sorry about my canadian/old english usage of s for c...

I copied and pasted this from Oregon Roll Call.  I have had a few comments deleted I think but was wondering if it was just a glitch on this apparently (?) new forum.  Anyway, thanks TJ for the new members intro thread.

Hi everyone!

Wow, this is great.  So stoked to meet all of you, even if only remotely (for now).  I just moved to Portland after living in Tahiti for almost 20 years.  Everyone do your best to hold back the 1.  Why d'ya do that? and 2. You better get ready for winter. 

I went to school in Nor Cal but grew up on a coral atoll going barefoot all the time.  Ran X-C in highschool and know the Mt Tamalpais Watershed in Marin County as well as anyone but only ran barefoot a few times then.  This was late 80's and it was all about the waffle design that came from this part of the woods.

So I've been here for a month, breaking my feet in and getting to know gorgeous Forest Park.  Zeke's profile pic gives me foot envy and I look forward to getting deeper into this new adventure that has just begun for me.

I have been farming Tahitian pearls for years and am also a professional photog.  Here are my sites if y'all are interested.

www.kamokapearls.com and www.joshhumbert.com

Let's go running!

Josh

Yes, it's kind of French. I'm French. It's derived from 'loutre' (prononced 'lootr' means 'otter') because in my family we like to spend time in/on/under water.
