Hi,
I see now what you mean by interpreting the phrase to mean that to 'own'
property is to open yourself to being robbed. I agree. That, and my innate
laziness, have kept me from ever trying to 'own' any real estate.
There are some good letters in the latest New Times in response to
something they did on M. M. O'HARE. I Didn't read the article, but the
atheists who responded with letters generally reflect well on their kind I
think.
If I could harness the time and mental energy I spend daydreaming about a
better life and use it to make changes, something good would certainly come
of it.
See You Later,
Dean H.

Don't feel bad about locks scaring you. Machine work scares the hell out of
me ... What if i make a mistake? What if the plane falls out of the sky and
it was a failure of my part. What if I screw up a batch and never get
aero-space work again. I am always afraid... and this does not count the
fact a 5 horse power lathe could rip my hands apart in a fraction of a
second....
Yet, I survive... sigh! Stinking rat race!

The City Girl and the Cow
Told by J. L. Russell, Harrison, Ark., April, 1950. It was
regarded as a new story by the boys around Alpena, Ark., in
1907.
One time there was a girl named Nellie come to our
neighborhood, but she was born and raised in a big city.
Nellie hadn't never seen a farm before, and she couldn't
tell a bull from a cow. But people from them big towns
always let on like they know everything, so Nellie didn't
ask no questions.
It looked funny to her when the boys fetched in the milk,
because Nellie thought milk come in bottles on the front
porch. The womenfolks told how they milked the critters,
but Nellie figured maybe they was kidding her. After while
she took a little bucket and went out to the barn by
herself. There was only one cow in sight, and Nellie sure
was surprised when she seen them big tits. "My God," she
says, "he's got four of 'em!" When she come back to the
house, her bucket was still empty. "There's something wrong
with that animal," says Nellie. "I done everything I know,
but them spigots just stay limber!"
The womenfolks pretty near died laughing when they heard

that, and some of 'em kept a-giggling for a long time.
Nellie didn't go to the barn no more, but she never did
understand what them country women was laughing about.
Rural humor abounds with stories of the city person who is
ignorant of farm life. Thompson, *Motif-Index*, assigns
this a subheading under J1731, with examples from Estonia
and Spain. Much {of this humor in the United States deals
with identification of the sex of farm animals, particularly
cattle. Legman, *Rationale*, I, 225, notes a variant
collected in Minnesota in 1935, in which the city girl says
she milked the cows and everything, and the farm hand
observed that that must have been a surprise to the bulls.
In another variant heard in New York in 1939, the
schoolmarm's heifer is to be serviced, and she takes it to
the bull. The owner of the bull hears a commotion and
rushes out to learn the trouble. The schoolmarm complains
that they can't make the heifer lie down.

Many people on the net group alt.tv.twin-peaks are trying to figure out who
will win the Miss Twin Peaks contest. Some have even suggested Laura
Palmer: "Why else would they still be showing her prom picture at the end
of every show?" I hope it's Nadine, as previously stated. Some say it will
be Anne, since Cooper said something about her being his queen and Windom
Earle is putting the girls' faces "in the cards"(BTW, did you notice the
face of the queen cards are reversed?). Some say that if Audrey wins, that
will spoil WE's plan since she is no longer a virgin. But, Shelly is
obviously not a virgin (since she's been married to Leo and fooling around
with Bobby). Laura isn't either, for that matter. Donna we don't know
about but no one seems to care if she and/or James get offed. And then
there's Lana, the sex kitten. I don't know if she is supposed to not look
sexy on purpose, or if she is suppose to and can't act. Weird character.
I don't have any idea what she is doing there. Same with little Nicky or
the lady James fixed, er, I mean fixed her car. I don't think Dick is the
father. I hope not anyway. My guess is they only had sex once but she and
Andy were going out rather steadily. Did Lucy enter the contest? Did the
Piper character (her name escapes me)
And what's with the shakes? People are saying "there's something in the
water" or "there's something in the coffee". I think it was BOB trying to
find a host. Then, he finally "broke through" and materialized into our
world, right next to the remains of the fire that Cooper and Major Brigs
had. And what did Major Brigs say when he was drugged? People have said it
was backwards speak:"..Gum..coming back.."

Remember the Giant saying "that gum you like is coming back."? The map in
the cave fit over the town of Twin Peaks in the last eposide. Did you
notice where the black lodge was located? (I won't tell) And that there is
a tall man and a very short man and a man with metals on his chest?
It all means something. I hope Lynch can decode it all.

It's also illegal to turn left on Central at Camelback. (From the street,
that is.)
You certainly had no right to shoot the people... But you could use a
defense that you were afraid for your safety. You were certainly trying to
AVOID the people in the other car. Take it to court. Drag racing is
suspension of your license, isn't it? Or 5 or 6 points? You license is
meat if you don't do anything.

back down to a reasonable size though. BBSes seem to be full of
Libertarians, so maybe the laissez fair philosophy will grow as more people
access computer message systems.

I think he said he was only ticketed for speeding and failure to obey a
traffic signal.
When you hit nine points they will usually let you take a Traffic Violator
School (similar to the one you take to get out of a ticket) rather than yank
your license. Don't ask me how I know.
Nick, where was your radar detector?

First off, the speeding violation was not radar. He "estimated" that I was
doing 65 on Central. Until we approached Indian School, the distance
between my vehicle and the police vehicle (remember, I thought this was a
Mustang) seemed to be at least one block. Is it possible to make an
accurate estimate of the speed of the vehicle you are following at night
from such a distance?
The officer suggested that I should have pulled in to the gas station,
because there is "an attendant at the station." I really don't think the
presence of the attendant would have served to deter the guys in the
Mustang. People are assualted in the presence of others all the time.

I don't see why you didn't just blow them off. You didn't say anything
about what the jerks were doing that was of any real threat, other than name
calling. Did you really think that they were dangerous? I would've gone to
the gas station. I agree, the police was a jerk-off. But what color was
the mustang? I think having a black vet puts you in a bad light with cops.
But, a mustang should be, too. All sports cars. Anyway, maybe the jerks
were working for the police or knew the cop was around and were trying to
get you in trouble? I think you can prove you weren't drag racing, but
the speeding you'll get stuck with.

I've had people do that to me too, pull up and start yelling at me for no
reason. I've always tried to ignore them and go on as if they weren't there.
But, then, I wasn't driving something I knew I could lose them with, so I
didn't have much choice. I found it a little easier to ignore them and go on
in confidence when I had a gun along, but I've done it with and without.
Good Luck!
