Simple (?) Hellos

July 1, 2006

Hi, Earl -- and Hello " Everybubbly " (a marte word):

Summer has finally undeniably -- irrevocably? -- STRUCK around here

and I'm -- what to say? " Awash " is hardly the word while the rains

have been (at least temporarily?) " defeated " (banished?) by the Great

[Aztec] Sun [God]. Weathers around here still strike me as basically

schizophrenic or, well, at least pretty " schizy " . But that's I

s'pose primarily because they're very different from what weathers

were like in the " where " of my Garden of Eden days [special hello and

thanks to Alice for this simple (?) part of what connects me with

people here.]

Earl: I 'specially appreciate your so quick and prompt post replying

to mine. I'm really sorry that my circuitous (for the

least " judgmental " adjective I can think of right now) writing style

leaves you only " half " comprehending what I wrote!

Thanks so much for the other " half " and the good humor of your quick-

post response.

Everyone else: Well, we're approaching the July 4 US " National

Holiday " and all the myths and traditions and nonsense that goes with

that.

" When I was a child and spake as a child and saw (it does often seem

to me) through a glass _clearly_) " [once again: Hello Alice!] I just

couldn't figger out the 4th of July.

Why were we " celebrating " " bombs bursting in air " ?

Well, I still haven't " figger'd it out " -- much less much of anything

about the 21st Century ( " she says, sounding terribly Senex " ) [Hello,

Dan, are you " there " ? " Here " ?) -- like " talking " with people by

typing into the keypad of this tiny monster ( " computer " ).

But -- " oh well " -- there I go being obscure again.

Bottom Line:

Special love, greetings, and thanks to the many people on this list

who've reached and touched me (for a slightly schlocky way of putting

it)and who've responded to me personally -- not only about

the " touchy-feely " topics but about ideas and important issues.

Hope all will have (as the woman at the liquor store a couple of days

ago said to someone who was stocking up on big supplies) a happy and

SAFE holiday weekend.

hope and promise)
