It’s been a long time. It’s always a long time but it’s been a long time. And there’s been enough redundancy. Redundancy gets painful. It’s unproductive. We can’t have it. So I took the walk. I went down there. It was way out back, down the slope to the grassy meadows where once again I was in the midst of the mysterious white dogs. They were happy to see me and I could see there’d been a few additions and one or two subtractions. All are in good condition. They’re well cared for, the food is nutritious and the medical care first rate. We communed and I took counsel and yes, samoeyddogs are climbing up. Blaise Cendrars is still right.
Here’s what the hounds told me in all their white fluffy glory. “Treats! Treats!” Time has changed nothing. Five years. You call we haul.
Yes it’s too bad about the rock. Its impenetrability is not an asset. Nothing can get in. What comes out isn’t worth saving. Why do men do this to themselves? When does it end? Crazy bump-heads. They’re everywhere. What is the upside? I’ve never seen a thing but I continue sufficiently haired although I’m older than this loser. Give it up, man. It’s over. It’s so over, baby.
Miller likes to point. I’ve noticed this. He likes to point things out. I like to point things out. I’d like to point out that anybody who listens to this dope needs help. Looking at you, Don. Image is Eric Lee/New York Times by the way. Credit due where credit due. Brilliant. No, you can’t make this stuff up. Don’t get me started. Please. Don, don’t. Mr. Invincible playing with fire like a wee one. I think I was six when I played with fire. Predictable results. Anyhow nobody died which isn’t always the case. It’s too bad. Who are these people?
Don points all the time but never at what should be pointed out. We’ll see about this. That Vance dude, eh? Simmering self-loathing up there on the heights with Steve-o. World beaters. There’s no other way of looking at it. Hackers, four-flushers, princess of ineptitude, Marco the magnifico. You go right down the line. The calibre of genius is unmatched. Is no be resist.

Good to hear from you. Keep up the good work. You’ve still got it kid.
I’m living on the Island. Bought a condo in Nanaimo and haven’t looked back. Working part time on call at the liquor store.
Left the factory two years ago and it was just in time.
Never thought it could get worse than under her highness’s regime but there’s blood on the streets. A complete slaughter. All the buyers gone. Books, GM, the works.
There’s a wake at the Gallery lounge on the 26th starting at 4:00 if you want to see a few old faces.
I went back every few months to catch up but not so much anymore.
Tempus transit.

Hi Jim. Hope you’re well Thanks for the note. Nanaimo, eh? Went to logging school there. This was a decade or more before UBC. Couple of years in the logging industry. So the place has been gutted. Never walked in there once since the day I walked out for the last time. That’s now as long ago as I ever worked there. Seventeen years. Stayed there too long but I had a plan. Plan didn’t work out. C’est la vie. I became curious about the ddogs and wanted to see if it still worked. Looks like it does.
