All the rain water has at last soaked down and I'm able to walk around my
garden without sinking knee deep in hardpan. The Iris that didn't rot from
all the rain and flooding are now sending up new fans and should have a good
bloom time this year. I've even found a few canna that have deared to send
up a shoot. The biggest project is the setting up of my Morning Glory corner
of the garden, this is where I've started planting special MG's I've gotten.
A big buch of mixed seeds I planted on the back side of the garden area are
already coming up.

The desert is a little less higher now that Hunter S. Thompson killed
himself.

I've spent most of my life working for a living, that is after I got out of
the Army after a tour in Vietnam with the 4th Inf.Div.

As far as being Hip, I've always walked a pathway of my own. As it is now, I
spend many good clear nights ( as I did tonight ) setting up my Big
telescope on a street corner and offering free views of the Stars and
Planets. My "High" has always been reading, watching, writting Sci-Fi. So
what if I didn't know this guy whoever he was, I'd lay odds that I know of
people who you've never even heard of and who in my world pays a bigger part
than what's his name.

Was he a major grower/seller of Dahla's? I.Canna? or other plants?
Did he ever design and build a telescope as I have?
Did he ever write a Sci-Fi book and become well known for it?
Did he ever breed and show cats? ( I'm a well known Japanese Bobtail
breeder )

So before you go blowing smoke at someone who may not walk the same pathway
you do, you should stop and think that maybe they walk a pathway that you
know nothing of. I've seen some people die this last year that I think has
left this world poorer for their passing.

There's no fear or loathing in the High Mojave Desert, in fact it's the
other way around, what with the clear dark skys overhead, the Stars and
Planets are awesome to view.

Wish I could type it out, it's on a UK server, but my main machine had a

right now that the backup is on, I'm not sure if it'll show up on Google,

with book titles like that, it's no wonder I've not heard of him, they all
sound very depressing and I'd rather sail amoung the Stars and Planets than
be depressed. Would rather read sci-fi about the Dragon Riders of Pern than
wading through some muck.

Face the facts, babe.

You're really not living in the real world at all if you haven't a clue
what's been going on in the real world all along.

You have nobody to blame but yourself. You wouldn't last five minutes where
the buffallo roam.

If ever read the newspapers and saw Doonesbury in the funny pages, you would
have seen Hunter S. Thompson portrayed as the character "Duke".

With your attitude you would never win Ben Stein's money!!!!

Maybe you are a different story once the drugs finally kick in?!!!!!

1st of all, I've seen enough of the "Real World", I've been to 49 or the 50
states in the USA, I've seen parts of europe, I've seen Vietnam even.

I've worked for a living, even worked when I was only about 10 years old.

I don't need to be told what the world is like, I've "been there ... done
that" more than I ever care to remember.

The only drug I take is asprin to deaden the pains in my knees, I watched
idots in vietnam get high and then get themselves blown to bits.

The Mojave news is the only paper I pick up and it has no comics in it.

Live in the clouds? Na, I'd rather live far above them, in the endless
reachs of Interstellar Space. And those books just sounded so depressing,
besides, I've seen H.A.'s when I road with my dad in his 18 wheeler, no big
deal, they don't bother me and I don't bother them.

This is my last post on him, I've never read his stuff and most likly never
will, but in the mean time, not only do I have a box full of Sci-Fi books
awaiting me, I'm also a follower of one John Dobson and he's far from being
depressing and he's up in his 80's now and still pushing glass. Go look up
John Dobson.

The web host is having troubles of some kind and not all the sites are
online. But if you'll go to google/images and imput Rideen, on the first
page of images, you'll see a picture of Ch.Akumaizer's Rideen, a Red Tabby
JBT of my breeding in years past. He was a son of Ch.Maryott's Shika of
Akumaizer and my main stud male I have now goes all the way back to Shika.

In the JBT world I am known, heck even the JBT's that are down in S.Africa
have some of my JBT's in their background.

My JBT cattery got it's start in 1973 when I bought Ch.maryott's Shika and
I've still breeding. My stud boy was mated to 2 queens just last month.

The Akumaizer banner reaches far and wide and while it's been awhile since
I've been able to show, I'm still around and aming to be around for some
time to come.

There used to be a lady up in WA that until she quit and sold all her cats,
had JBT's that reached into the Akumaizer line.

One note, google ' Akumaizer Japanese Bobtails ', I'm listed with TICA, and
another breeders list too. I mostly use CFA papers, but I am also with TICA,
ACA, until the org died I was also with UCF.

Ignore these trolls, Starlord. I'd never heard of the dead guy they're
talking about, but then, I happen to avoid reading Doonesbury, and
depressing books. E-mail me if you want to talk about Anne McCaffery,
gardening, and the stars. And let these hate-mongers go on their way.

Side note: Ever notice how few really good Sci-fi and Fantasy authors off
themselves, conpared to political hack writers? Wonder why that
is...........

Too bad, Lady Blackhead, you opinion doesn't count for anything at all.

Hunter S. Thompson was not as Sci-Fi author you dimwit. Yeah sure, those
political hack writers like Ernest Hemingway are always offing themselves.
They were such bad writers they won pulitzer prizes. Jealous?

It would seem the troll is you, hateful biatch!!!
