I think it's so cool that you're having an amazing time Carrie this summer. I wish I could say the same. I really can't wait to get back to school. I like it here at home, but not much happens. I've read many good books though, the latest was The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. It's all about the socialism but it's still a good book. The most interesting thing happening to me right now is that I'm reading The Shining by Stephen King and I'm probably gonna be playing cards and burning cd's for most of the night. Sounds like a blast, don't it everybody? Yeehaw.... Hey apparently in my county there's this crazy rabid mosquito craze going around and these mosquitos carry something called the West Nile virus that causes you to have grotesque mutations and degenerates your innards... not really but it can cause encephalitis apparently.... so everybody's like "Watch out for the killer mosquitos." Anyway, it's obvious from this entry that I have nothing worthwhile to talk about so I'm just gonna go. Bye, bye.

Sam, i think you are wrong. To my knowledge, given to me by the great Utah Phillips, the difference between a hobo, tramp, and bum is this: A hobo works and wanders, a bum drinks and wanders, and a tramp dreams and wanders. This is not a very detailed description, but hey, whaddayagunnado? Utah Phillips is cool. I will give you all my utah phillips tapes to listen to, Sam if you let me borrow your book on train-hopping. I would also like to accompany you in finding "travellers" in the massive trainyards of Galesburg, but... well... i did tell you what happend to me when i tried that on flunk day, right? I have seen Taxi Driver. I kinda liked it but it is so wierd and symbolic and... dark that i think i missed the whole point of the movie. What the hell is it about? Sometimes a Great Notion by Ken Kesey is the greatest novel ever. It is FANTASTICAL GREATNESS!!!! (i say as i poke my nipples) Horray for juvinile humor. HEY I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING! Christina, where is the list of middle names? Did you take it off the wall? Werent you gonna type it up for us? I really want to see that. So apparently nobody knows when we are supposed to be back at skool? When are the rest of you showing up? I don't know. All i know is: remember the words of the drunken old bolt cutter (Ken Kesey) "It's all horseshit. You're alone all your life an' you darn sure die alone, what i always say."
