>>The fellow sold his farm to subdivision developers around 1970 and all of that land is underneath big houses now... What a drag, eh?<< Yah. There's always fire and destruction and brimstone. Fossils are the kind of rocks that DO need put inside, instead of under houses and pavement. It seems to me if the world's head was on right, places like that would be strained for every possible fossil and distributed to all the people. You know, The People. Who want fossils. Well, everyone I I I know, does.

I've been thinking about the downtrodden. What other kind of trodden are you going to get? You could put uptrodden on the checklist, for knowing if you're on another planet. Say you're in a gas station and hear a couple of guys laughing? "Oh yah. Kleeep! We kicked a field goal with that trod." I was thinking, that this may be the subtle but powerful appeal I was trying to de-mistify in my mind, of The Lawn Chair Man. The guy who went up to 12,000 feet in strainer of vinyl and aluminum? Attached to the weather balloons? And then got dragged down by the Coast Guard, and sent to jail, and later committed suicide? Maybe he represents the uptrodden. At least he was trying. 'Course, he was trod down 12,000 feet, which may be a record. ~~~~ It's sort of Christ-like to me. (He was uptrodden, too. )
