y'all know this is in jest.......


Well, see, there's the problem. We talked about this two years ago. I got
the tools, the time, and the hubris. All I'm missing is the fuel and the
cash (well, and maybe the knowledge and experience......but hey, what are
friends for?)!

For all the blessings and advantages of the global community, it DOES have
it's niggling little drawbacks. Gone are the days (for the vast majority of
us) when friends and neighbors could conveniently gather to raise a new
barn.......or fishing shack. Oh well, we shall all have to settle for
invitations to attend the christening upon completion.

yup...that was during my great "deck-building" period. rachel has begun
categorizing my fantasies...well, those that can be talked about
publicly anyway. i trust you know that whenever you choose, you have an
open invitation and will be most welcome to visit my fishing temples -
they are currently of the "open air" construction - in western nc as
well as eastern nc. there is even space available at my humble abode
should you need a parking spot for attendance at services. of course,
rachel will expect you to cook. g

here's one of my current fantasies, borrowed from h.g. wells. he
expressed it in 1939:

"A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and
promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much
surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that
those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own."
