Hi Vivian: I hope all is going well for you and that you are finding summer
a relaxing break. I went to lunch with a co-worker friend of mine today and
your name came up in our conversation. Her name is _____. She
lived in a cottage on W's property and thought you were the
person that moved in after her. Is that true? Anyway, if so, she would
really like to talk with you. Apparently W passed on in February and she
was very close to him and hopes that maybe you were too.


Hi, J -- Yes, I was that very person -- and I did see W's obituary because my mum died February 13th. W had many good points -- he was generous, smart, humorous -- but was also a product of his time in that he was bigotted, and he was a control freak. I enjoyed talking to him about cars, however, he would stand outside my house and yell for me (he did think it was funny) without regard for anything I might wish to the contrary. I think he'd've been surprised to learn that it bothered me. I lived there for what -- 5 years? -- and fed a herd of cattle morning and night from November to March. That was fine -- I love large animals and although the duties were at times annoying, most of the time they held a certain amount of pleasure, too. W had lots of cars, and one in particular, a white 1962 (I think) Imperial was quite awesomely beautiful. It lived next to the hay barn, and only came out in the summer. W generously told me I could drive it, but I never did because it stank of mildew. The chromed "I" of Imperial on the side of the car was about 5 inches tall, in script. It drove W crazy that I had non-US cars -- a stupid Volvo, first, then a Mazda. I'll bet, though, that he'd consider my Mercury Capri a US car -- ironic, I think. The bigot business bothered me a whole lot, and although he seemed to think well of me, I could not, in all honesty, reciprocate. Take care -

-------------->Well, between me and my blog -- she wasn't QUITE AS CLOSE as she thought with the landlord. He did like her, but thought she'd made a ruinous marriage. I never greatly cared for her as she and her kids were down on my dock swimming with my floaties one day. I am somewhat territorial GRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrr. And my best floaty went missing DIRECTLY AFTER THAT. Coincidence?? I think not. <----------------

I want to ask for thoughts about improving the world -- what do people need? How can things be organised?
