I do remember a night in the Texas Panhandle when a comet; a night drive in the flourescent orange old scout that buggsy was at the helm of. We were driving to Lubbuck, Texas to be a part of a "Peace Festival" ( The Southwest, thereof); if I remember at all. As a younger guy, the rememberance was this great comet in the sky down there in a wide-open sky. Kahoutek? Anyone. Confirm this for me. Mike P.s.

Dear Ed I guess this falls into the category of fashion accessories It’s at www.roopooco.com and it’s an Aussie site I’ve found that sells washable, coated koala bear poo earrings.

America is no different, and while the IRS doesn't actually bang on your door at night demanding gold, they are still happy to take a large percent of your annual income. The Brookings Institute recently completed research into our government's expenditures, over the past fifty years into and divided them into 'successes' and 'failures'. Check out their take on the US's greatest achievements, including fighting diseases, waging war, rebuilding projects and more.

You cannot make any useful contribution in life unless you do this." - Eleanor Roosevelt *-*-*-* "The greatest joy in nature is the absence of man." - Bliss Carman *-*-*-* "May the humanity that is within every human being be held more and more precious, and be regarded with ever deepening reverence. The vice that underlies all vices is that we are held cheap by others, and far worse, that in our innermost soul we think cheaply of ourselves." - Felix Adler *-*-*-* "The modern habit of saying, "Every man has a different philosophy; this is my philosophy and it suits me"--the habit of saying this is mere weak mindedness. A cosmic philosophy is not constructed to fit a man; a cosmic philosophy is constructed to fit a cosmos. A man can no more possess a private religion than he can possess a private sun and moon." - G. K. Chesterton ***************************************************************** FEATURED WORDS & TUNES --------------------------------- ** FEATURED BOOK ** Beyond the Lodge of the Sun : Inner Mysteries of the Native American Way (The 'Earth Quest' Series) by Chokecherry Gall Eagle, Chokecherry Gall Eagle Paperback - 176 pages (July 1997) Harper Collins - UK ISBN: 1862040605 Synopsis Medicine man Chokecherry Gall Eagle reveals the authentic core of two powerful Native American teachings. Chokecherry Gall Eagle says he has been given "permission" for one time only to bring out this knowledge for all to read, breaking the barrier against sharing the wisdom outside Native culture. Radiating with a rare authenticity, the book also includes warnings about common illusions and pitfalls of false shamanism. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1862040605/vipgraphivideo (you may need to cut and paste the url if it's on two lines) --------------------------------- ** FEATURED ALBUM ** Just for Love Quicksilver Messenger Service Audio CD (May 30, 2000) Bgo; ASIN: B00000735E I've spent a lot of time with this album, Fresh Air just sends me someplace not to mention Just For Love.

The Moody Blues, via their somewhat heavy-handed, 1993 concert video A Night at Red Rocks, were among the first Woodstock generation acts to end up in constant rotation during affiliate pledge drives. The band's PBS follow-up, Hall of Fame, is an improvement overall. Taped at London's Royal Albert Hall early in 2000, the Moodies'... read more at... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004Z4VI/vipgraphivideo (you may need to cut and paste the url if it's on two lines) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Hey, don't Bogart this newsletter!
