five things

a rather lame response to BaronSCameron

sorry audio is low please turn up (or off)

oh whoops Samuel P. Dinsmoor was in his 80s, not his 60s, when he married his second wife, and he fought in the Civil War.

(and hey did anyone else notice the uncanny resemblance between dinsmoor's
second wife and superfrodies?)

I know this is a very old video PC so I apologize in advance. But it does kinda suck for us that don't see buying as a good thing when the only thing people distribute on places like thepiratebay is crap or already so popular you don't need to read it. Atleast as far as books go.

"Oh wow I can download harry potter! *puke*"

no need to apologize, dada

it's good to see you

Penniless, I've always been fascinated by the collapse of time, that can exist by the ~100 yr interval that we can live. That a woman is alive w/ a DAD that fought in the civil war is mind numbing! Imagine the casm, & that she loved him is not just a link but a real bridge. Yes, there are more. I talked to her brother. He knew his Civil War vet dad too.

wow yes TR

sounds like a oral history project is in order....

Just so you know, there are more interesting things in the state of kansas besides the garden of eden. it's not all just one monotanizing wheat field. for instance, if you go next door to the garden of eden, you will see the house that is in charge of the world's largest collection of the world's smallest versions of the world's largest things.or if you go to hays, ks, you can see the amazing fish within a fish fossil.if you go greensburg you will see the worlds largest hand dug well.very cool!

you too

anton = robert anton wilson

[pennilesscripple]

well tees i read a book and listened to a cd by anton and have pretty much decided he's not worth any more attention (and i want my money back). he has some interesting observations about perception and language, but he's got major delusions of grandeur and he envisions a future where we'll mine other planets for resources...oh yeah...let's destroy the entire solar system now, one planet's not good enough....

[pennilesscripple]

oh wow thanks for the clarification TR

wow...i wonder if there are other children of civil war veterans still among us

give emily my best...i'll post a correction in the sidebar

How apropos. The one who built the Garden of Eden is Samuel P. Dinsmoor. He fought in the civil war. He was not in his 60's when he married the 20 year old, he was in his 80's. And that cute toddler betwix he and his beaut? That's his daughter, Emily Dinsmoor, now Emily Stevens. I just got off the phone w/ her. Yes, she's still alive as of 10/1/07. Indeed, a woman alive today can rightly say, "my dad fought in the Civil War." And she knew him well.
