Comment on Cyberspace Open Finalists by Jerry

Looking more at the Cyberspace Open Web site, I see that either they are way, way behind schedule or the winners have been announced elsewhere. I was supposed to have been eligible to vote, so I suspect there have been hitches in the video production and voting stuff. If anyone knows more, please let me know.

I like the pics. I think the white flowers might be some form of mallow or primrose. Never mind about the flowers, though, the sunset was awesome.

Wow! This episode was a marathon, wasn’t it? How many even got to the speculation on the value of a vote in the US Senate?

Sorry about that. I’ve added some pictures to liven things up.

Come all the way west to the west side.We call it California wher the weather is fun in the sun.The beachs are clean & cool. Free from the east taxs. California ther is taxs. The highs taxs is the gas & the pot but the pot hits the spot and it do not make your teeth rot.The tobacco taxs is high but it is about $3.00 to $5.50 a pack. And I wish that all the girl wher California girl.The people are nice but not all of them. Just when you come hear leve the east and the Newyork attitude behind and you will be fine. And if you go moor west cross the cool pacific ocean you will find Hawaiian islands is a lot of fun to and good for your helth to. Hawaii is over tax. But that is ok it is island. If you go moor west leve the U.S ther is Japan or Thailand. Thailand is cheep Japan is not. So go to the west it is the best. Good bless the west. p.s boycott NewYork and it taxs. Thank you. and have a nice day. Good by.

Unfortunately the best name for a “society of monsters” has already been taken:

Congress.

Gerald should be in Arizona tomorrow morning; he’s probably hoping to avoid too much rain since he’ll be walking around ASU and Tempe a lot tomorrow.

Thank you, THE WEST (but…)

Just spent a day driving the tiny roads of New Mexico and Arizona. Awesome. Walked into the town store in Quemado, NM, me in a loud shirt and ponytail, said “hello” to the rancher in his cowboy hat chatting up the girl at the register, and we had a nice conversation about the best roads in the area and the blessed rain. Ranchers and ‘hippies’ are traditional enemies, but one hello and that’s all history. Just a couple of guys passing the time.

So, THE WEST, your point is well taken. (Although in Kansas I was constantly surprised by just how dang friendly everyone was. Uncanny.) On top of that you’ve managed to make me do something no other commenter has ever done. I’m asking you politely to please give it a rest. If you have new stories to tell that others might find interesting, by all means share them (though perhaps you should get that caps lock key fixed first), but otherwise I think you’ve already convinced all the people you’re going to convince.
