A Patriotic Charity

I literally stumbled upon this website ProjectHealingWaters.org and was
writing them a check within minutes. I would urge any person who feels
a sense of gratitude to our troops who serve and are wounded overseas
to make a donation to this cause. Being an avid fly fisher as well as a
currently serving veteran, I feel a special obligation to help any cause
that helps rehabilitate troops through fly fishing and tying. Check it
out and give what you can.

Anonimity not by intention. I only hope that maybe a few folks will take
a look at the website and throw a few dollars their way. It seems to be
an upstart charity which is well sponsored if you looke at their site
and is run by a retired Navy Captain. I can only imagine what these
troops have to endure and know that if I ever become disabled due to a
combat action that there are a few feoolow fly fishing sportsman around
who would be there to assist in mental and emotional recovery through
thre joy of "the fly."

Who are 'our' troops, Raven? The Moroccans who fish in the Atlas
Mountains? The Afghan guerrillas fishing in the Hindu Kush?

This is an international NG.

That said, it does look like a laudable and well-inentioned
organization, and I have a lot of sympathy for troops from any country
who have been disabled while fighting on behalf of their own state's
ruthless politicians, media barons and dumb population.

For my own part, one reason why I go fly-fishing is that I find it
intensely nerve-racking, and I use it to liven myself up after the
tedium and boredom of war-zones.

We all know who the perp was in the "homophobic assault."

Do you live on Coldharbour Lane ? If so, have you considered
moving to a nicer part of Brixton ?

I do live there. But my kids grew up in Belfast - the windows of their
bedroom blew in when the IRA bombed a nearby police station (they of
course slept through it), and I tend to work in countries that are even
more violent than England. There's an overground rail station at the
end of my street that takes me directly into the centre of town, to
Gatwick airport, or to Luton airport.

My bees can forage to their hearts' content (if bees do have hearts) on
the ivy and weeds that grow in the abandoned gardens round here.

And I can keep my Dari up to scratch here - I speak only Dari when I go
marketing at the local convenience store and greengrocer's.

I've been here so long and the area is so bad (the London Evening
Standard described our street as 'the worst street in Britain') that
I've felt that it had to start going up sometime. In fact it's started
happening. Ten years ago the upstairs apartments were occupied by some
asylum seekers and a drug smuggler. Now they've been bought by an actor
from the National Theatre and a City banker.

I thought that Great Britain had strict gun control. Apparently, I was
misinformed.
