He does post some stuff that is very worthwhile, like his
beautiful description of the moon he saw one night.

I agree. That was priceless.

The other night I saw the moon pretty much like the one I envisioned
Wolfgang describing. The first thing I thought of was Wolfgang's post
and how well he described what I was actually seeing. I like looking at
and taking pictures of the moon from time to time, but that particular
detail was something that never really registered with me on its own. I
guess that in my attempts to photograph the moon, I was actually wasting
my time and "missing the moment" on a picture that would not capture the
detail which Wolfgang so eloquently described. I found myself just
admiring the moon instead of trying to photograph it and enjoyed my time
witnessing the event instead of trying to capture it.

Wolfgang is a very gifted writer whom I wish would spend more time on
posts such as those instead of wasting his gift on trivial ****ing
contents while "defending ROFF" from whatever it is he is supposed to be
defending. I can only imagine some of the trip reports that he could
pen! Like the old saying goes, "I could wish in one hand and crap in
the other and see which one gets filled first" though.... I guess I
should be flattered that he chooses to spend so much time writing to and
about me. :-)

Once, in a freshman English class when I was in college, I wrote an eight
page paper on dog ****. Till now, it never occurred to me to wonder whether
the subject was flattered by the attention.

Wolfgang
who, incidentally, got an "A" on the paper.......how's THAT for gifted?
