John was sitting in the hotel restaurant and I was
taking advantage of his invitation to join him to the extent
of a cup of coffee when Bottomhole Benson, the oil lease
broker, walked in and sat down with us. |

The Waterloo poetry festival ended on a Sunday
afternoon. After the patrons left, I walked down to the river
to the canal diverted under a stone grist mill. Empty of
people, Canada geese and black-headed swans swam closer to the
banks. Red-headed ducks and black and white coots bobbed to
the surface from dives for fish. Maple trees colored to the
red hue of autumn reflected in the still water. |

On The Edge Of
Common Sense
My idea of a vegetarian meal is a turkey sandwich.

I eat mostly meat and candy. |

People are storytellers. It's one of the traits
that distinguish us from other mammals. Every culture has its
stories which explain how the world works, how people should
behave, and teach by example and analogy how problems could be
solved. |

friend who knows I like to poke fun at shrub cuddlers, nature
Nazis and eco-weinies probably sent it to me. There couldn't
be such a thing as The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement?
Could there? |
