I saw him in person in Saint Matthews, KY, around 1957. Hillurei, I’m not sure what you’re talking about —- unless you mean the picture of me with an effigy of Colonel Harlan Saunders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, the Colonel a minor god in the American pantheon.

I read the narrative of her first real kiss (with the Chariman) as one of the most --sensual-- paragraphs i've encountered in modern letters. still, your increasingly fabulous pictures showed me that the more time you spent eating and touring in Japan, the better you (at least your good artistic eyes - imagine me saying that about those eyes!-) saw the real spirit of my dear old Nippon. "So now it’s over, another milestone come and gone, whoosh, the train across the hidden valley and back into another tunnel. I’m on the plane flying East from the Far East—to Californee! Back to my fellow nectar-sipping butterfly beings." butterflies are free to fly - i'll definitely put myself in that category, R2. :) "Sayonara, y’all." That thar's so Kin-tukee of ya. :) R2 here’s my last say then I’m outa here:

then again your japanese friends may “get” other things in your psipunk creations that might zoom right past the average western reader.
