She had to go....

Dear July Baby,
The Noblest Roman of them All,Wow you find Australia interesting....Let me tell you The Mid West....All that Corn and Square dancing in the Evenings,Sounds so Romantic to me....I was So lucky in my Youth I was invalided out of being a Patrol Officer in New Guinea,Dengue Fever and Malaria,Which I still Suffer from....I was given a Cadetship in the Northern Territory....It was really Wild then and a few of the Crocodile Dundees that you seem to admire were still around...We thought of them as Hell West and Crooked....They were mean Mothers...Talking of Mothers,few of them had Known a Mothers Love...With more Dinner Times than Dinners they had led a rather deprived family life....Life was a mean business the only Women they Knew were Blacks,a furtive scuffle out of the campfires sight their closest experience of romance...Work was in the dry season pursuing Buffalos across the flood plains in a Land-Rover with a scoop in the front....They would charge these poor creatures head on,knock their feet from under them,then jump out and shoot the shocked animal in the spine,with a .310 Martini rifle,dump him and move on as the poor bvgger suffered in the heat,the Black skinners would at leisure follow and finish the poor svod off...In the Wet season it was the turn of the crocodile,not much sympathy with them,but that was a dangerous game indeed....You would probably like to meet these guys,but sure as Christ they don't want to meet you.

Hi Rubirosa,
Look the Resteraunteurs in Paris still talk of their large Pepper Mills as Rubirosas...Probably dont appreciate the significance....So where does your little Girl call home?

Dear Desdinova,
You really know life don't you?.I will think about your advice,it's not easy.

You really know life don't you?.

Not really, but I know that I'll want a companion when I get on in years. Having a woman around helping you when you're ill is a wonderful thing to have. That sort of motherly instinct is sadly not present in many of today's women. You'll likely have an easier time with it since women who are older than me seem to be more feminine and nurturing than today's "I'm a bytch, proud of it, and I don't give a fukk" women.

Dear Desdinova,
"but I know that I'll want a companion when I get on in years. Having a woman around helping you when you're ill is a wonderful thing to have"...This alone confirms my prognosis that you do indeed know life....We all get Old....I am probably one of the few on this Site who has experienced true debility....last year I had two Hip joints replaced....I prepared by exercising my legs,reducing weight and using my Engineering skills to make a pulley contraption over my bed so I could get in and out and onto my crutches,without assistance..a small bar fridge an electric jug and forty or so interesting books from Amazon.....My Wilderness was Paradise enough....After the operation Three plates and nary a sign of any of them...My salvation two beautiful Daughters..Yep when the chips are down you need Family....Daughter number two,came every day....Familial love,duty,love and loyalty?....Perhaps but solid assurances that she inherits a million bucks of real Estate are the clincher ....also the knowledge that if she upsets me she is out in the cold...people are mainly motivated by self interest...Only the selfish grow really Old.

Scar keep fighting the good fight. And don't change a thing about you.

If you are ever in California, or I am ever Down Under, lets have a beer or 3.
