M I T scientiists say here that you age suddenly at age forty and then suffer another surge of rapid aging when you are sixty; but they don't mention a previous study which discovered that at age EIGHTY, you tend to hurry up and just plain DIE. So now that I've PASSED eighty, I'm pretty much good to put those limitations behind me, and live it up..

Lifestyle changes could counter some of the deterioration.

The Tall Animal R***e, is workshopping their road show so relentlessly with so much set building, and rebuilding, and replacing, with so much raunchy monkeying around, that I can hardly hear myself talking to myself.

Sometimes a leg is not just a leg, nor a fisherman just after fish. One time, was a long time ago in the Austrian Alps. On the Yibbs river, where s**t had happened, and I elaborated on it some; hoping now to convince my romping around fisher friend Timothy Rogers that he should go there, look into the waters, and write to us about what he comes up with. Before it's too darn late.

Once After a Time when I was a boy of nineteen on a junior year abroad program in Vienna walking near the Westbahnhof, I found myself across the street from a rough pyramid of rubble. Near the top of this ruin, the tail section of a small airplane protruded … as if nobody had noticed it yet and ma...

"I am certain only of the holiness of the Heart's affections, and the truth of the imagination" , sez that Soft-Heart Jack Keats. But " A fish in a tree? How can that be? 'sez Dr. Seuz. They fought to the finish, then ate some spinach, and sleptin in a garbage can, waking after many hours to discover that they now had regretful tattoos that represented the other guys views. Then ... well you KNOW what happened, and the rest is mystery. Pardon me? What is that you were trying to think through, before I popped up and spouted. Taking deep breath now. Talk later; Dvd.

There it is, clear as day, not too far away, over the rise, down into the defile, up over the ridge and on down, but you can't get here from there, and those who attempt, never return, so what to heck, let's go for it; we're at the end of the world anyway and this is quite some prospect.

An ancient kingdom in what is now Argentina had stayed peaceful and in one piece for many generations,avoiding the devolution that comes from having to hand the kingdom down to multiple sons and so on, which the courtisans did, by denying that the dead king was even dead , shooting him up with honeydew or something, and forever carrying his waxiness around in an elaborate, upright coffin that anybody would love to have .... and so it was through many years of peace and prosperity ... until the Spanish came . Killed him, I suppose. By the time I myself come to die, I hope to be already petrified, like the Malachite Monk up there on Mount Eye claims , or is claimed to be. Like they say you can see EVERYTHING from up on Mount Eye. The fact that there is also at least one Canadian Mount Eye makes it all very cloudy.

Meet MaCloud the rescue dog who, if he finds you out on the frozen wastes, is trained or inclined to just lay down on you there, or where ever you are. He has the fur of some gigantic Arctic Cat. He stands at the foot of the ladder, will jump up on and lay down on you if you approach, and you better not.

This cat is Batchit, the gate keeper and soul bouncer at base of Mt. Eye in the Sky, but isn't herself allowed up near the Eye because of claw danger, and neither are Dogs allowed up there nor Fish or Bears for that mater; only turtles and then, being small is a mixed blessing; being yellow, no fun at all because then you really need to Beware of birds. Only the thick greenery keeps Mt. Eye safe from Hawks. Owls are more of a problem there.

Sometimes the Scarab seems to enter into partnership with a friend. This is the way in which it usually happens. When the Beetle’s ball is ready he leaves the crowd of workers, pushing his prize backwards. A neighbour, whose own task is hardly begun, suddenly drops his work and runs to the moving ball, to lend a hand to the owner. His aid seems to be accepted [14]willingly. But the new-comer is not really a partner: he is a robber. To make one’s own ball needs hard work and patience; to steal one ready-made, or to invite oneself to a neighbour’s dinner, is much easier. Some thieving Beetles go to work craftily, others use violence.

"Sometimes a thief comes flying up, knocks over the owner of the ball, and perches himself on top of it. With his fore-legs crossed over his breast, ready to hit out, he awaits events. If the owner raises himself to seize his ball the robber gives him a blow that stretches him on his back. Then the owner gets up and shakes the ball till it begins rolling, and perhaps the thief falls off. A wrestling-match follows. The two Beetles grapple with one another: their legs lock and unlock, their joints intertwine, their h***y armour clashes and grates with the rasping sound of metal under a file. The one who is successful climbs to the top of the ball, and after two or three attempts to dislodge him the defeated Scarab goes off to make himself a new pellet. I have sometimes seen a third Beetle appear, and rob the robber. " (Fabre)
