U just made me LAFF and LAFF... What a story!! And this part.... and then as I look up, upward, under my shading palm, I see this clear and orange sheet slding upward over his roof, practically flat, like dry ice over cold concrete. Half of the roof is inside this pie, with the chimney for a cherry stem, and it's so hot and clean and quiet, there is not smoke. No turbulence. It's just quietly, very politely, actually, engulfing the entire house. Oh Wow...have I seen that before... like dry ice over cold concrete Yep..man...exactly....you got that right, Pontiac... Well, now I'm stuck waiting for the rest of this story... I hope you KNOW that... I suppose this would be a very good time to take off and get the weekend provisions of fruit, vegetables and wine... Adios...

I'm in awe. Damn! Got to work but when Gauguin's in a writing way...I gotta learn to just turn off this spigot, but...Anyway, I got just one question: Does this STUFF get recorded anywhere or is it just going into SI's archive for whatever their holding period might be and passed whomever's eyeballs it might pass and that's it? Gone. Am I just wacko for enjoying it so much thinking it's GOOD? I guess that would be two questions. I hate to think I could be a complete idiot. Maybe how may dog regards me when I'm tying my shoes - "man, that's amazing, how's he DO that?!". But, better I just face the fact if it's so. Just pat me on the head, give me a cookie and I'll go away or just lay down here awhile and stop slobbering up the place. Like you're gonna say "yeah, this stuff IS damned good, you got it, fella". "Good boy!"

Ok, joker, you either finish this tale, or your house is next.

OK, it's 9:47 here, and I am going to have to go to bed soon and I keep coming back to see if this story has been finished, and I'm getting pretty damn angry that i have to go to bed and leave this guy in his socks, smoking his pipe, and getting closer to death every second. With you watching like it's a production of Jeanne D'Arc.

Intermission is over, buddy, we're back in our seats and this curtain had better go up soon!
