Only in Gord's mind. Though, I suppose, it may have been based on some real locale.

Here's what Gord has to say about Borderstone in the notes from Songbook:
"A knight of the road, going back to a place where he might get warm. Maybe there's family, maybe not. I have a fascination with trains, and this is about hopping a freight, which is something I have never done. It's sort of an old-fashioned song, the kind of thing Woody Guthrie might have done. Woody's all over everybody's stuff. He makes an appearance in 'The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald' when the cook says, 'It's been good to know you.' That's right from a Woody Guthrie lyric, 'So long, it's been good to know you.'"

I wonder if Gord ever uses any Burl Ives analogies?

Well love him or hate him, he's one of us and if he doesn't show up soon I'm calling the cops to go track him down.

I betcha he finally took my advice and went and got a tattoo, starting smoking and got himself a major attitude. Some woman probably got a hold of him and he doesn't have the time to post. He'll be back a changed man.

He hasn't posted since December 4th, and none of those postings said anything about being gone. Hope everything is okay.

He probably wants to see if anyone on here misses him.

Brink: I agree. I didn't realize he hadn't posted since Dec. 4th but that's highly unusual for him. Though didn't he say something in one of his last postings about having had a date that went very well? Maybe he just found something more interesting to do with his time. Anyway, I have kind of grown accustomed to his frequent postings and I agree with you that I hope nothing is wrong. Anybody know how to contact directly and check on him? Email addy, phone #, address? Hasn't he told us in the past that he works for Best Western somewhere out in the Phoenix area?

I think he posted on the 9th on Small Talk, didn't he? I agree with Somewhere. He's probably having a wild romance, having the time of his life. Hopefully, it's with a girl who appreciates Lightfoot. That just wouldn't be cool if she didn't.

Cathy you're right he was on small talk on the 9th. Still-has been close to a week, way too long for B. Hope you guys are right that he's out having a gay old time.
