Hemi, Jim Baxter, a new Complete Poems" seen in Glebooks I didnt know Jim well, knew some who did, Got taught English by his biographer Father Frank "Taxi" McKay, who remained unphased when I discovered "the Rainbow" in St Pats library and became a DHL acolyte. Others in our atheistic ashphelt yard theological fifth form discussion group had other literary heroes. Simon Crase introduced us to "Murphy" & "Malone Dies" - who else was reading Becket in 1963 Wellington but us 15 year olds? John Sullivan, now curator of images at the National Library, introduced "We the Tikopia" the 1936 Anthropological classic, which, sadly, we read for the sex details. I cant remember if Jean Genet "Our Lady of the Flowers" was on our reading list by then.
High Country Weather
Alone we are born And die alone: Yet see the red-gold cirrus Over snow-mountain shine.
Upon the upland road Ride easy, stranger: Surrender to the sky Your heart of anger.

If this be Jims epitaph, it must be on the other side of this stone ______________________ Considering kinship, Steve Sailer has suggested that Arab culture, Iraq in particular, is built on cousin marriage. So Arabs are more closely related to their families than Westerners are related to theirs. Hence clans remain stronger than nations. Arabs have a hard time trusting non-relatives to provide covering fire. Hence Arab military weakness? ..just another point of ignorance on the USAnians side. On Tuesday the Head Military honcho bunkered in Saddams old palace said "seems to be a lull" - an unwise crack, as the next day 37 USA stormin troopers got offed. Makes me cheerful to see invaders die. Good ole GW is weakening the USA with his rapacious idiocy. Cant get weak enough to satisfy me. May all your pension funds wither with Enron, may USAnians experience destitution as the6y have wreaked since 1900 Huk rebellion. _________________________ ______ Putin promises NOT to ship SA-18s to Syria. Wonder what rocket downed that helio yesterday? nice job, whoever did it. _________________________ ______ vic.greens Gunns wood chips (motto "Turn ancient forest giant into toilet paper") proposes to sue forest blockaders for "wilfully, maliciously, recklessly and contumaciously" causing their reputation harm. Gunns are a filthy bunch (chair Rouse was jailed for political bribery in 1989) May I join the ranks of "So Sue me" I hereby malign, libel, calumniate, detract, and spit upon Gunns I call upon all to boycott, blockade, burn, hang, eviscerate, these wood chipper obscenities.
