I Reached 500 Watches. TO ALL - THANK YA!!! In less than a year since joining FA, I've reached this milestone with not much effort. I must say, it's a honor to those who faved this middle-aged Cal Grizz Bear and the many new furry friends I've met in person since last September. Late last month, I finally had my chance to meet THE ONE, THE ONLY, LEGEND of The San Joaquin Valley  DJ-Rodney by way of  lukasArtair - we met at The Black Bear Diner near Rodney's new home in Modesto - and I was very grateful to meet such a fine young man with amazing artistic talent (along with Rodge 'Rai Bear'). It was a special meal and we also met Rodney's roommate  sqeaksgrayness as well. My friend John 'Polar Bear' and 'Yours Truly' had a great time. I must say, Rodney is one of the 'chillest' guys I've ever met. Also, I went to my first furry convention 'Califur' - I had a grrrrreat time. I want to shout out  Goody2toad and  blackwolf89 - Peace. Joe G. Bear.
