My Beloved Buggy (circa 1988)



Well, "MAN CAMP" became:

"Bob gets smoked in the shoulder by a 70 lb, 6 foot long, treated, 4X6 timber pummeling down upon him like a battering ram launched by his understudy Brent". It was bad, but he'll be okay. I don't feel too bad, but 6" to the left and I may have taken out my poor Bob's head ..... lesson 102 in how dangerous construction can be if you stop caring simply because of an animosity towards things that frickin' weigh a lot .... things that make you angry (namely 70 lb. pieces of lumber that must be moved). I will report on how my Best Man feels tomorrow. It was a huge blow -- probably the biggest non-love-oriented blow I have given to a loved-one in my life. "Do not turn your back to Brent when he has a large timber in hand that he's at odds with and wishes to throw it into the hole" ... but there he was, right in the crosshairs. Our Buggy ... taking one for the team.

Shit happens, B—try to let it go. It's good to know Buggy's OK.

And props to Lynn for an excellent & artistic pic.

I thought of that Far Side comic the instant I heard about the Bush pfroblem with an exit strategy. Thanks for posting it. Are we going to end up feeling sorry for Bush ten years down the line? Well, probably not, but the term "Dubya" might just come to represent more than we can now at this time. Like a "Dubya Moment" or a "Dubya Slip" or a "Doin' a Dubya". Whatever ... I'm going to email you off-site, anonymous.
