bowerbird certainly has a way with words as he finesses his way around obstacles. he reminds me of bucky the cat in _get fuzzy_. look at today's _get fuzzy_ cartoon... http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/getfuzzy/archive/images/getfuzzy2006036639... doesn't bucky remind you of the bird? i wonder what would happen if the bowerbird met the buckycat? lots of feathers and fur flying around. just like a godzilla movie. i admire bowerbird's style. i've decided to embrace some of his personna. henceforth i'll be known as "dalebird". but my poetry sucks, unlike his. this listserve is about pg. i will contribute to real discussion once i learn more about e-books. been downloading quite a few lately from pg. great work, guys (and gals)! sorry for focusing on the bird. i promise to reform! dalebird detergentleman -- Dale Reese dalereese@fastmail.fm -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Accessible with your email software or over the web
