I met Janis that weekend.
Fugs, Cream, Animals, Byrds etc etc etc over the next few years.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.
This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost

Dang, so it was too early for those folks to hear your tales of 2 foot
centipedes or setting a world speed record in a sailboat. :-( But
wait, they did get to hear about you marching with MLK at 10 years
old, and paying your first taxes at 11! Surely one of them must have
written a song about such an amazing kid? You should look them up and
ask if any have unused dentures they might donate.

My memories of Detroit are eating supper in Greektown and taking a walk down
to the river past the non-functional monorail and the empty RenCen. As I
walked along the waterfront, a police helicopter with searchlights was
flying patterns above. Sort of like Beirut or some other war ravaged city.
I think I got there a few years too late...

Ive not been back since...hum....1978ish..most of my surviving family
lives 250-500 miles to the north. The folks that moved south to Detroit
at the start of WW2 stayed and retired there, then either died there or
moved back north after retirement.
But my memories of the 50s, and 60s are still strong...and seeing the
Detroit its become...is hard on the brain..matched up to the Detroit
that Used to Be.

In 71..I was 16 actually. And yes..I did serve 3 yrs, getting out when

I just opened a green Monster energy drink, and will be starting on
cleaning out a closet..putting the summer clothes away. Spent most of
the day moving machinery and Stuff around the back 40, bought some
propane for the forklift and have thought about how to set up a machine
rebuilding area where I can do mechanics work and spray painting and
whatnot on some of the machines Ive brought home for resale..and for
those I plan on keeping. Took a Clausing 8540 down south last week for
repainting for the guy I sold it to. The money will certainly come in
handy. Hope his check arrives tommorow in the mail.
Now is there something else I should be doing? Other than starting to
reload massive amounts of ammo, getting a doctors visit schedualed to
renew my heart meds (off them for 2 months..no money for the visit) and
so forth.
Im interested in what I should be doing "now:"

One of my fondest memories of Detroit was watching the fireworks on the
barges in the river against the backdrop of the Detroit Skyline. From my
penthouse hotel room at the Windsor Hilton :) The city actually looks quite
beautiful from the Canadian side.

> "Hell Night"?
No, just a standard summer evening. I went up to the Ford Museum/ Greenfield
Village at Dearborn, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and went into Detroit for
supper. I like wandering around big cities, and in the same era would often
take the Amtrak from Ft. Wayne up to Chicago for the day, but Detroit was a
bit much. I've walked over most of Manhattan before the drive to make it
safe for tourists, and still felt uneasy in Detroit. There are a few places
I don't need to go back to, and Detroit is one of them. If I want good
Greek cooking, I'll go to Greektown in Toronto instead.

Almost nothing worthwhile was accomplished. The rest is just typical
deadbeat big-planning that will come to nothing. Apparently even with

That's substantially faster than anyone else has ever reported.
Although the others could be faster if the owners used your method of

Top 10 reasons I shouldn't send gummer any money so that he could
replace his rotted stumps
10. he'd spend it on soda and junk food
9. even the worst dentist doesn't deserve the pain of having to look
in that mouth
8. because giving charity to deadbeats only encourages them
7. would take away the one thing his dogs have better than him
6. too many more-productive uses for the cash, such as buying extra
lap dances for Tiger Woods
5. no need for actual teeth when he can just say that he has the
prettiest anybody's ever seen... as verified by yet another
conveniently dead witness
4. slippery slope - next he'd want shampoo and deodorant
3. better to start a collection to buy sweaters for his 2' centipede
and 8' rattlesnake, which might be suffering from -60 temps
2. he doesn't need choppers to eat ramen
1. sooner or later he'd pawn the dentures to get ISP reconnected
>Shrug...btw...we did march with Dr. King.
Too bad you aren't a better writer. You could string a week of your

Used to call it 'urban renewal'. The best scheme I've heard of was in George
V. Higgins' book 'The Rat on Fire'. Catch a bunch of rats, hose them down
with high test, and light them up. The panicked rats head home to die, and
you've got this nice fire that started in the walls someplace and doesn't
make the fire investigator suspicious.

Knife in chest, man orders coffee in Hazel Park
By STEVE NEAVLING
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER
Police are still puzzled over a man who walked into a restaurant and ordered
a coffee with a 5-inch knife stuck into his chest.
The 52-year-old man called 911 in Warren and said he was stabbed after a man
tried to rob him.
"His story is still questionable," Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer
said today about the Sunday incident.
The man told the operator to send an ambulance to Bray's, a restaurant in
neighboring Hazel Park.
While waiting for the ambulance, he coolly walked into the restaurant and
ordered coffee, startling employees and customers, police said.
The man, whom police have not identified, has fully recovered, according to
police.

Damn. I'm just a lurker here, but looking at Gunner's posts are like
witnessing a train wreck. LOL. I've never read so much bullshit in my
life. And no... he has never been snow camping at -60 deg up here. If he
was raised in Calumet, then he never went to a public school in that
area.

No? <G>
Born in Miami Beach Florida, November 11, 1953. Returned to Hancock in
May of 1954. Lived in Hancock, Calumet and finally Copper Harbor
untilI was I was 7, and in 1960, Dad took a job with Thorton
Construction, working for his school chum, Thommy Thorton, building
breakwaters and roads. Settled in Grayling in 1965. Spend most of my
summers and much of my winters in Houghton, Calumet (uncle was the
supervisor of the Calumet cemetary and Co. Coroner) and Lac LaBell.
Dads still very much alive, spends his winters in Gainsville Florida,
his summers back in Grayling. Mom finally got buried in Calumet,..he
lugged her ashes around for many years. He has part of the family plot
in Houghton..not sure where he is gonna be buried in 30 yrs. Us Wieber
menfolk tend to live a very very long time. <G>
Check around the buildings and see if the old "Swift Meats, Wieber and
Sons" signs are still painted on the sides of the buildings in Houghton
and Hancock. That was grandpa. He had quite a distributorship from all
reports. His house was taking by Michigan Tech...hum..in 1971-73
,,maytbe a little later...and some additional buildings were built on
the site of that marvelous 4 story house. He and Ann Wieber left quite
a few signs of having raised 9 kids. Aunt was the Mayor of Manistique
for quite a few years.
Moms family were Finns from Calumet. Still have a number of relatives
up there..Cathy Artis is probably in her 60s today..cousin. Her brother
Steve died in an accident in the hummm 80s when a telephone pole he was
climbing busted off at the base. Shrug. Grandma Wieber was a
O'Slattery...her brother (one of humm..5 IRRC) was a supervisor of Alcan
hiway project. Froze both of his feet and when he returned..started a
private surveying company which he ran for many many years..half
crippled but doing the job and raising kids. Most of the Slatterys
lived around Manistique. Not sure where the kids my age all went.
Havent kept in touch with them since the 70s.
Mom and Dad were the youngest of their families...and Bohemian. Didnt
work in the family, but went out on their own. Mom graduated from Tech
as an Aeronautical Engineer, Dad as a Civil Engineer.
Father Baraga used to be a regular guest at great grandpas house in
L'anse. Ate dinner there regularly while about on his missions.
Chuckle...we been part of the forming of the UP for a very very long
time. Both the shanty Irish and the German side.
I spent a lot..lot of time running the woods, both on Brockway Mt, and
along the shores of the Keewauna. Winter, summer, didnt bother me at
all. Get a good -40 temp and a 50mph wind coming off Superior ...a bit
colder than -60...chuckle. Snowbank camping becomes the order of the
day when it gets that cold..dig a shelter under a blowdown and fort up
for a few days, reading books and popping up ones head to glory at the
storm on the lake. Even saw some wolves coming off the ice from Ilse
Royale once. Marvelous place to be when one was young. Folks didnt
worry about me unless I was gone for more than 3 days without calling.
Grayling was ok..graduated from highschool there..but it was a bit
boring...too civilized. No moose, no big hills..not like Mt Ripley where
I learned to ski. Not a bad place for x-country skiing though. Bear Mt
was ok..was on the high school ski team, but spent as much time as
possible in the UP. Even did the Ispheming ski jump a couple times. One
assumes its still there? Hell of a jump!!
I was in the line for the opening of the Mackinac Bridge. Before
that..rode the ferry many many many times..and quite often with my dad
to Wisconson to the Cat factory for excavation machine parts. Had to
drive down to Muskegon and get on the ferry at night to make it there in
time when they opened in the morning. Saw a storm or two...
A couple years later..was far away, 120F, 110% humidity..lots of
incoming.
Now I live in the high desert. Fog and a bit of snow in the winter
time...lots and lots of fog, Summer temps been averageing 110 F..some
hotter days. Down to 95F at night.
Damn..now you got me jonesing for a pasty...shit. Madeline� still
shipping pasties? Yummmy!!
Gonna have to check and see what it will cost to have some pasties
overnighted out here to California....damn thats gonna cost...
Oh..dont pay any attention to the Douchebag and Whjtless. They couldnt
find their asses with either hand.
There are several personas I wear on Usenet...<G>....both of them
buttheads are stupid, in real life and on Usenet.

"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the
means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not
making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of
it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different
countries, that the more public provisions were made for the
poor the less they provided for themselves, and of course became
poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the
more they did for themselves, and became richer." -- Benjamin
Franklin, /The Encouragement of Idleness/, 1766
