Wednesday 7th February
On the train I found an electrical point to plug in my laptop and put
the time to good use on my Web pages until 0400. I slept for three and
half hours until I was woken when the train and drew to a halt for a nicotine
replenishment stop at 0730.
 The
sun was just coming up over the distant hills, at Klamath Falls and
it was very cold with snow and frost on the ground. |
I took this picture of a cold man. He told me his name was PJ. I asked,
"What does the PJ stand for then?" " Oh! It's not really
very exciting just an abbreviation for Paul Junior." He tried
to laugh but his teeth (inset) started chattering. |
 Back
on board the train I went for breakfast. Perfect light pancakes topped
with a sliced strawberry lay on the plate before me next to the two
easy over eggs that had also been done to perfection. A couple of
small rashers of crispy Streaky bacon completed the pattern. |
 Whilst
eating breakfast we passed through low hills in the foreground with
some snow-capped mountains behind. A long stretch of forest with a
good coating of snow covering the ground. The sun shines low over
my right shoulder from a cloudless sky |
 The
managers and staff on the train were very helpful whenever we needed
advice or assistance. I asked Paul and his assistant with the moustache
to pose for a picture. |
 The
observation car was my favourite carriage on the train during the
daylight hours. The panoramic views that can be had are unrivalled
by any other form of transport I have been in. |
 The
workers carry radios so that they may be contacted wherever they are
on the long train. this chap was receiving a message when I took the
photo. |
 I
had a good trip on the train up to Seattle. It was an interesting
and scenic journey and I met a guy on the train called Lee Victor
Flynt will can be seen here standing in the train entrance. |
 This
shot of Lee taken at a next stop. We did not have a lot of conversation
during the journey but we kept in touch meeting several times for
a chat in passing to the observation car or the buffet. Lee always
managed to find me at each of the smoking stops and we chatted together. |
As a result of our conversations in during the day I knew that he had
tried on several occasions to get in touch with a friend by telephone.
When we detrained in Seattle he told me he had been still not been able
to get in touch with his friend. I considered the situation, the danger
aspects to myself, Lee's behaviour during the journey and decided that
he was probably an okay guy. "Well if you don't have anything else
to do you can always share my room for tonight and contact your friend
tomorrow." I suggested.
"Well we hardly know each other." he responded.
"Strangers that met on the train" I laughed as I spoke and Lee
laughed with me.
"No you're right of course. Its been one helluva long journey, we
got on well together. I like you. I accept and thank you." he put
his am round my shoulder and pulled me toward him in a sort of hug.
"Then there's the added advantage for me that you know Seattle so
you'll be able to show me around tomorrow." I thought I might be
pushing my luck but nothing ventured nothing gained.
"Sure we can. I'll take you to the market where they throw the fish."
"What do you mean 'throw the fish?' Who throws fish?" I was
intrigued.
"Just wait until tomorrow and you'll find out." He said with
a wide grin and a twinkle in his hazel eyes.
 Having
decided where we were going we immediately left the station and checked
in at my hotel. After perfunctorily unpacking I set up my laptop and
went to download my e-mail. Lee asked if he could download his as
he had a hotmail account and I was pleased to be able to say yes.
One of his letters was from a chick asking him to meet her later at her
place of work. "So this bird knew you are coming up to Seattle."
I suggested.
"Yes. Remember I told you I was in Seattle for six months last summer."
I nodded remembering he had mentioned this on the train journey. "Well
we just always stayed in touch. It's nothing really and it doesn't need
to affect our plans." He tried to reassure me.
"I hope not." I laughed and to lighten the situation continued
"I hadn't planned to share you with anyone." We were sitting
opposite each other on the beds and Lee leaned forward, put his hand on
my knee and said, "Stay cool man we've only just arrived."
"She works in a club not very far from here and t we can go there
and get free entrance." he explained.
I immediately regretted having let him look at his e-mail as I had
visions of him going off with this bimbo for the night. I hoped that
on this occasion I might be able to get a bit of sexual fun though
I didn't see him as handsome, nor did I fancy him as much as the Thai
guy, Michael, in San Francisco. However, life is full of surprises
and unless one explores each opportunity that presents itself one
may well find oneself missing out, or being consumed by regret. Deciding
there was nothing I could do about that now I got ready to go out. |
We went for a walk around as Lee knew the city well and promised to let
me see something of the town. After a drink in a fairly ordinary bar we
went to the Club where we met the girl but unfortunately she was not able
to give us free entrance to the club, which was a strip club with go-go
dancers etc. He made arrangements to meet her when she would get out for
her break at 2300 and we went off to visit some other bars.
Lee made sure that we were at the meeting place at 2300 and the girl showed
up some five minutes later. After 30 minutes she had to return to her
club and Lee told her to come to the hotel when she finished which would
be about 0300 or later. I was not very happy about him making these arrangements
but felt that it might be in my own best interests to allow him his independence.
After all I had no reason to suppose that he would want to do anything
with me in any case. It was just one of those cranky feelings that made
me think that I was in with a chance as long as I was able to keep all
opposition out of sight.
We bid her goodnight and I suggested we come back to the hotel where I
could build a smoke. After which it was our intention to go out again.
When we got back to the room we lay on our respective beds and chatted
about people in our lives.
"Back on the train you showed me a list of girls you had conquered
on your journeys." I reminded him as I lay there. "Have you
ever had sex with a guy or do you reserve yourself exclusively for the
fairer sex?"
"Oh I had some sex with guys but not very often. I am rarely attracted
to a guy and I don't feel able to make the first move." He told me.
"I find you attractive and I'm happy to make the first move."
I looked him in the eye as I spoke and the deep blackness in the hazel
brown eyes told me I was on safe and secure ground.
"Well here I am, feeling randy and ready for anything. I find you attractive.
Perhaps because you're older than me; you have a very strong personality
and I noticed all day long that you don't put up with any shit from anyone.
I respect you for that." He stretched to his full length and leaned
back as he finished speaking. I noticed the move of his hand over his crotch
and needed no further invitation.
I was naturally delighted and moved over to take up a place on the bed
beside him. I lay alongside and put my arm round his waist to give him
a cuddle and establish a feeling of closeness and togetherness. He turned
to face me and we were soon snogging and fondling each others body's with
a passion that I'd rarely experienced. It was as though he hadn't been
sexually aroused for weeks and everything had to happen now.
Slowly between passionate kisses we managed to get ourselves undressed
and I was delighted to find an appendage that was banana shaped and curved
toward his belly button. Unlike a banana this was as firm as steel.
We had a great session and did most things to each other. To my great
surprise, for a person who alleges that he does not often participate
in such ventures, he was very much into getting everything he could from
thatwho session and I'm sure I don't underestimate when I say that everything
good happened to us twithhat night in that bed.
Due to the length of time that we spent in the bed making love we never
did go out for that meal. At 0330 a girl came to the room for him so
we had to quickly get into separate beds. She stayed with him all night
but he was too spent to have any interest in further sex.
