Charlie

...Around 4:00 pm or so,

coming back from buyin' us some

of those big Polish beers

that we love so much,

Charlie, the parrot, was found

murdered.

The details remain sketchy,

but it's assumed that Charlie

got gotten by a cat...

Charlie said " good morning ",

in the morning .

Said "Bye ", when you left.

Meowed like a cat,

and could bark

like the little dog next door..

Charlie did a great car alarm...

and tons more friends,

tons.

Charlie will be sorely missed .

He was quite a bird with

better manners

than alot of brothers and sisters

I have known, so he did.

Descanso en paz Charlie.

...the party at L's, as always ... a blast.

Kids in three sizes,

Extra small

Medium Small

and Small,

the small S is growing up,

in her little Japanese tea dress,

Madri Gra beads

and that purse

about as large as she...

Champagne and a cake

H. was there and as I have always

said..." where ever H. is

folks just want to follow his lead..."

W. was charming as usual...

R and the crew from Amazon...

... and back at the southern ranch,

all is beautiful, from the young girl

to the flowers in the wild garden out back...

we're blessed, as usual...

good weekend in the rainy city,

Next time.

on..." The freakshow and it's passing thru the Valley of the Shadow of Death
part 31..." John Kline in diplomatic super spin, Venus " who caused all this really " and...

John Kline stirred the pitcher.

Venus " who caused all this really ",

tapped her foot and stared at John Kline 

from behind her Gucci black, black glasses.

John Kline caved...,

" ...Man, the brother was in deep, baseless fear. 

Lob in his abandonment issues, insect issues,

gun issues, car and insurance company issues...,

and the pure desire not to be here...

I couldn't stand his smell..." stirred John Kline...

" Yeah the poor motherfucker did stink the dog stank...",

said Venus " who caused all this really ". 

John Kline said.. " ...y'all did little to help really... " stirring, not shaking...

" ...I saw, assessed, and simply got a brother on to his next point... 

No foul, eh ?... ",

hands up around his shoulders, 

the national symbols of Spain, 

Thailand 

and Italy... 

John Kline filled a glass. Added two olives,
and a little juice, 

just the way Venus " who caused all this really " liked um'...
" He wanted to go, if you must know " , poured John Kline. 

" What ? We love the wacky little neurotic guy around, 

what the hell is this rolling freak show without him...? " 

whined Venus " who caused all this really". 

" He took that little ulgy dog... Lil' Moco ".

John pouring himself a glass. 

Adding two onions, which he considered much tastier ...

" Crazy !!?? ", said Venus "who caused all this really ", 

" ...and where did they... - he took the little toothless Moco ??? my God !!,

Where did you take them John Kline ?... " 

A toe tapping, staring 

Venus "who caused all this really " asked...

" The Gray Dog down in Lake Charles proper...", sipped John Kline..

" To the bus John Kline...? Oh My...John. Oh My..."

' To where ?...  No don't tell me ...He went to Concord 

and that freak Dan's house did'nt he John Kline...??? ".

demanded Venus " who caused all this really "...

 " oh my ...", Venus " who caused all this really ", said.

....The brothers in my barrio

are exercising their second amendment right,

here in Amerika's Northwestern corner.

....Bullets are cheaper than fireworks, 

and that unique sound of the Kalashnikov 

and the Uzi, 

have out banged

Red Devil 

and Black Cat... 

We're hangin' in the basement, 

writtin' by a single bulb, 

with almost everything else 

one could ever need 

from tools to paint 

and I think I see a tailors dummy over there in the dark ..

Ain't' like Baghdad or anything, thank God.

...sounds like it though.

on..." The Freak show and it's passing thru
the Valley of the Shadow of Death " pt. 30 " Main street any town USA, smokin',
and the beer that never came..."


" ahhh-ummmmmmm - I'll have a pint a Manny's, thanks...
anyway , so there we were, Jesus with a bottle of Tequila and a bowl of
lemons imploring' the terribly altered crowd at the beach house, the last time that whole
group would hang again as it turned out... to drink and drink and saying it was " your patriotic duty "
they drank and drank... the cops showed at three and they had a shot or two...
...It was San Diego, Mission Beach to be exact, Santa Monica court, and Mission Beach Drive
I think it was the mushrooms, there were so many, you know..."
Dan said to lil' Moco, whom had a blurry view on the world...
" That's alright Dan can you see the way the light is blaring thru that window...
...Do I look any younger to you ???
... The last time I saw you you looked so much older- your famous blue rain coat was torn at the shoulder-----
swooned Lil' Moco...
" I heard from Lisa years ago in Portland, she was workin' for a answering service
and had a huge dog named Guinean. An Irish wolf hound, big as a house so she was.
Dixie Brown was so way long gone he has turned into but a legend...
I miss that guy sometimes..." Jesus said
" Yeah, I miss that guy sometimes..." said Dan
Hey where's my frickin' beer... NURSE !!!!! ..."
yelled Dan to the bartender.

Ya'll remember Bernardo, no ?

Bernardo ripped off 50 billion bucks 

and a couple of days ago a judge

sentenced  him a staggering 150 years 

in prison. 

A death sentence, basically.

A vengeful society 

treats the loser

like they forgot the huge bucks they had recently

received...their whin'n about the principal,

remember, Bernardo chose them, 

and they were giddy

 at the prospect of having  

" Bernie ", at the helm of their finances...

until they lost, of course...

A little anger there ?

You bet.

Everyone greedy ?

You bet.

So, for those of you whom have crossed a line,

you know, laundered a bit of cash from a sketchy

source, or those that have taken something sacred,

you know is not yours... remember 150 years

is a very long long long way to pay back your debt...

sure it goes down in years from there

Fact is,  it is a good time to start worrying,

the pressure is gonna get turned up a bit from now on...

No more Julian's

No more Maite's

Madoffs...

No more....

We have all been warned.

Be nice. 

Do the right thing.

Everybody wins....

" ...an eye for an eye make the whole world blind..."

Gandi said that and it's probably relevant nowadays...

Negoicate !!!!!

be well todo mundo,
