Yeah, I am too. All things considered, one of the better deals out there,

I also laugh at those who bitch & moan about hos slow the lines are at the post offices. If I had a dollar for every time I listened to somebody in line bitch and moan about how slow the lines were, only to finally approach the counter and then unpack unaddressed letters, unpacked packages, unseals bulk envelopes, etc. and then ask the clerks "how do I DO this", only to have the clerks graciously go ahead and do it for them while some other maroons in the line with simularly unprepped items in tow were simularly bitching and moaning about how slow the lines were, if I had a dollar for every time I saw and heard that, hell, I could probably buy the freakin' Post Office, ya' know?

I'm sure we all got some isolated horror stories, but all things considered, make mine USPS.

A naked Adam may have fallen upon an equally naked Eve without the need of props. But in this day of curiously unerotic sexual explicitness and demystifying psychological close-ups, we are in desperate need of the feminine wiles that once characterized style icons like Marlene Dietrich, Babe Paley, and Jackie O. (I think a hat qualifies, Ladies...)

It isn't what I do, but how I do it. It isn't what I say, but how I say it, and how I look when I do it and say it. (Mae West)

The right hat may also enliven our imagination of the past....an old-fashioned cloche, a picture hat, or a toque trimmed with a pouf of polka-dotted veiling is just enough to make us feel as if we were living in another, romantic age.

my job has been threatened and taken, as has or may be yours....

we hope not...

the feds wants to take the local postmarking jobs (for a start) to cleveland(about 80 jobs).

the newspaper article said something like the proposal is available for inspection at the local post office.

i asked to see it.

it's not there, at least for public inspection.

doesn't that tell us something?

<br type="_moz">

there's a community meeting at senior high tonight at 7pm where the cold facts will be administered.

show these fine public servants our local support.

are the good times really over for good??

it's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

this time-trashed morris minor was in the same spot when i was by this lot just off near north trimble a few years ago.

"she is now gone for sure."

i chanced by yesterday, and much to my delight, THERE SHE WAS(!!!!!), the ancient morris minor 1000 sedan,and the huge blue road coach with 1999 historic license tags, too!!!!!

like a cat spotting a rottweiler, my head snapped round. i saw HER.

there again were the parts men proudly built for her; some still gleaming.

the men on another continent who built, drove, and loved..., and their cares and creations, are dust now, mostly.

tree roots in cemeteries spike through their frozen hearts and thoughts as they sleep deep in their flimsy cradles; they are on their journies to wherever men of earth go.

between you and me, if i happen by here in a couple of years, i hope she is....

Not mine, alas... I don't even drive (no need - most of Switzerland by now is kind of suburbia, you get trains and buses everywhere, at least once every hour). Read about it only - seems the steering wheel was too lose for today's rules...

i look for real things.

not much is.

not the the painted faces on tv spewing government and corporate mind control.

not those politicians and preachers and lovers lies meant to seduce me.

not the 'friends' and family who only want my money,

nor the painted ladies with tonka toy emotions

a sincere smile, or someone sobbing on my shoulder, a mahler symphony, a ben webster ballad, or even a sincere emotinal outburst from a loved one, or a lonely train whistle in the night, an old old hound dog, that glass of lovingly made bourbon, or for breakfast a fried egg sandwich at white castle...

these are the things i live for.

99% of the rest is roadkill.

everyone's gone to the moon

jonathon king

Streets full of people

All alone

Roads full of houses

Never home

Church full of singing

Out of tune

Everyone's gone to the moon

Eyes full of sorrow

Never wet

Hands full of money

All in debt

Sun coming out in

The middle of June

Everyone's gone to the moon

Long time ago

Life has begun

Everyone went to the sun

Cars full of motors

Painted green

Mouths full of chocolate

Covered cream

Arms that can only

Lift a spoon

Everyone's gone to the moon

Everyone's gone to the moon

Everyone's gone to the moon

roses may soon bloom in this lowland again, and shed their blooms at autumn's call.

earth reclaims man's spent structures as effortlessly as rose bushes shun their dying petals.

when men choose to help, it is the better.
