Not to be an I-told-you-so, Fringey, but I told you so.

I am going to get a digital camera, because the size of these Jack rabbits is not to be believed. My sister had rabbits when we were kids, but thes were long and white. The rabbits around her are not very long but they are really tall.

The cats are bored because I think they have killed anything smaller than themselves in the yard. There are a few birds that harass them all the time. There must be nests about although I have not seen them. There is one blue jay I call the divebomber. It is just a matter of time before his/her luck runs out.

You may joke about that buck. But he is one mean looking animal.

There is someting I have been missing about this style. It is starting all sentences with "There + 'be' verb of choice" or "It + 'be' verb of choice." It is also the short choppy sentences. There are many of them.

I think I would like to enjoy a peaceful afternoon gazing at nature from the balcony. Does it overlook the backyard in your frontyard? I look forward to seeing the Divebomber toy with Skittles, Salami and the Third Cat.

And you of all people shoudl know, I was not joking about the Buck.

Just for the record, the Divebomber is a Blue Jay, that just won't shut up. The cats names are Squishy, Porkchop and Sam. Squishy is very friendly and will let the neighborhood kids pet her. Porkchop and Sam are really skiddish, and they immediately dissapear when they hear any children approaching. Some of the kids, much to their consternation, have never seen Porkchop because he is so shy. The kids that have actually seen Porkchop have an air of superiority, and constantly remind the other kids that they have never had the viewing priviledge that the elect few have had.

Maybe tomorrow you can tell us about Pooh and Piglet and Eeyore.

These drivers of the gas rigs are paid serious money because they get special emergency training and the driving is highly hazaderous. These guys are paid not to panic. Maybe if a kid ran out onto the road, but there was nothing in the road to swerve from. I just don't get the connection between, minor explosion in the car = hard right turn. Why not just brake.

Good point. They'll be adding a gantlet of 14yos with Roman candles to Bob Bondurant next season. Forewarned is forearmed.

Every year, a small percentage solo auto fatalities have no discernable cause. No positive tox screen, no fatigue, no skidmarks, no road hazards, no apparant distractions, no witnesses. It appears an elite group of misfortunates are fated just drive themselves into trees and die when no one's watching. A theory out there is that each of them discovered a bee or wasp in their car, and in the ensuing panic lost control. Bang --- into a tree/light/hydrant what-have-you at full speed. The bee/wasp then blithely goes on its way, none the worse for wear, leaving first responders and lawyers to puzzle endlessly over the cause.

I learnt this from Stephen King. By comparison, I couldn't tell you a single damn fact I learned from Faulkner, except that when you were retarded in the 1930s they cut your balls off, and that I could have learned more directly from Hank Chinaski.

Yet more swine to catch the pearls. Simply because the words were written in the thralls of inebriation does not mean that they should be so read, young Atticus.

Such is my dim view of most men's capabilities that I expect the Chinaskis of the world to do little more than imitate the characters I write, but of those who aspire to literacy I expect more.

I simply would have told him that Faulkner wrote more than 1 book and in more than 1 style. hell his brother John had more than 1 book published.

do you think Atticus' style of showing ignorance when calling someone ignorant is intentional, or organic?

I have been in cars with moronic drivers who freak out over bees. Yes - a bee sting would suck, but diverting the direction of a half ton pile of metal traveling at sixty miles per hour is not a well reasoned response. My aunt drove her car into a ditch becaue of some thunder. There has got be a way to screen these people out of the licensed driver pool.

BTW: The accidents could be caused by Thetans. Has anyone consulted Tom Cruise on this.

I just bought my twenty fifth and twenty sixth books of the idiosts guide to.... series. I also own three of the ......for dummies series. Is this a sad reflection of my character?
