Jeff called from his mom's yesterday...I failed to answer in time.
No one answered when I responded...Phone tag is simply a crime.
I can't seem to get this new phone to work properly...I'm so Twentieth Century.

I stumbled toward the curtains and pulled them.
My mouth fell open in amazement. All I could see was blue.
Blue sky. Blue sea.
The sun reflected in the crests of tiny waves that dazzled the surface like diamonds, though the water appeared entirely smooth and undisturbed.
Blue. All shades of blue, unpaintably similar shades.
Sapphire. Indigo. Cerulean. Azure. Turquoise.
And so many other types of blue I could never identify.
So much blue, it had ceased to be blue at all and had became green and purple.
And in the sea, boats with their single masts, sunning themselves like lazy turtles.
I squinted, shaded my eyes, and tried to separate objects from glare.
I could vaguely make out the hulk of an island in the distance and another farther away, a hazy mirage on the horizon: to the left of my view, the remains of a castle with a round tower surrounded by ruined green walls.

Curious coincidence.Photo is credited to Edwin L. Braun, early fifties; part of the SC High Trip of '54.
Taken in the late sixties, early seventy.There is no photo credit but it is from an ad for Time/Life's Living Water.
Two E. Brauns. E.B. Hmmm...
I think that Werner has an auntie and uncle living someplace in the Bay Area. Hmmm...

Nope.
But "Two Bears" checked out.
http://bismarcktribune.com/uncategorized/brad-two-bears/article_67e386df-2aa9-5ed1-a991-18ad1a11dbe1.html
In the year Liz passed there was a man named Brad Two Bears lived here in Atwater,
a member of their police force in some capacity, like volunteers or some such.
He was a former LA cop, a Sioux, and a practicing shaman. He and his wife were friends of Liz.
There was a to-do over her dying youngish and Brad came by to invoke the spirits,
leaving a small mound of tobacco as a propitiation, and it remained in place until he returned to reclaim it.
He's long gone, now, as well. He was pushing eighty then.
Are those Russian bears? I have some running dogs for them commie bastions.

Those appear to be Three bears, not Russian bears.
The only one I ever knew who was an actual Native American was Smallfire Hawk.
He was with us the night we tried to outredneck the rednecks.
I do not know how Three Bears are related to Ten Bears except that there are definitely more.

Ah, yes. You were "mocking melodye" in yon mountains, weren't cha, cha-cha-cha.[Click to View YouTube Video]
[Click to View YouTube Video]Surrounders is a Bluegrass band integrated by Andalusian musicians of diverse musical backgrounds from the city of Seville, Spain. This new project was conceived towards the end of 2010, where Ramón Ramos had previously co-founded bluegrass bands which were pioneers in Andalucía, like The River String Band, Blue Mountain or Grasstones. This band delivers the real thing, a true revival.

Speaking of bears, you gotta love Berkeleyites:
Starting with Weej, working your way thru cousin Connie, good old Pratt and some others like him,
and finally zBrown and me,
a bunch of un-herdable cats and mice and chicks,
a weird Easter Parade of freaks found no place else excepting in Yosemite where many wash up running from one type of success.
Merry Braun would have made it there, in Berkeley, but she would make it anywhere.
Werner got lucky, you bet.

Damn, I feel like I criticized Paul Ryan.
If someone is gonna delete a thread, shouldn't they delete the derivatives also, or is that too tuff a calculus.
