I've been thinking about doing something, but I've realized that I have no good ideas at all.

No 24 hour drunken gospel music marathons, no book signing tours, no exciting photo albums, no cows & bowling balls, and no reverse pet adoptions.

Nothing.

It's a dearth of good ideas which tasks me!

I do have one idea that I've been kicking around. I refer to it as Chance Posting, which is inspired by John Cage's theories of Chance Music, or Aleatory Music, as was taught by the late Werner Meyer-Eppler.

I don't want to discuss any of that here because it would spoil the effect of Chance Posting when I spring it on all of you. (If I ever do.)

I've also given some thought to going camping for a few days at a time. If I could sit in a tent, in the woods, for a couple of days; I could drink wine, read National Geographic magazines and eat baked beans. That appeals to me, enormously. Especially if it's cool and raining.

On the other hand, I have a strong feeling to simply be retired, stay home, sit down, and watch TV.

That's what I think I'll do, stay home and watch TV. I want to see whether or not Granny has to whomp Jethro out by the cement pond.

You could pitch a tent on top of the Threefoot building. Take along a super-long extension cord for hooking up your television and crock potting your baked beans. Pack plenty of National Geographics and lots of your favorite wine (don't forget the can opener/corkscrew).

If you're pro-Threefoot, you could turn the event into a sit-in. You know, refuse to come down, and whomp empty bean cans at the protesters... You'll be a front page Meridian star, save the Threefoot, and have all the book signing tours you want.

The late Werner Meyer-Eppler may not approve, but the current Meyer-JRS will.....

Just a small suggestion to go with the beans ... Carry along a cigarette lighter in case you find the desire to "drop trou" and join the flaming hairs club ... Smiler and maybe even add a new window to your tent ... Wink

Okay, those unsolicited ideas belong to y'all and y'all can do them.

I have no intention of going to the Threefoot Bldg. Furthermore, I'm not going to throw anything, anywhere.

Looks as if you'll have to enlighten us with this chance posting you talked about.

Careful with trying THAT type of flamethrower. Could have what's called in acetelyne welding a "blow back." Sometimes the flame of a welding torch will blow out (as from giving it too much oxygen or gas) and travel back up the line from the torch to the tank. BIG Ka-boom. Make quite an autopsy report.
