hey, Rael, you should publish some of this stuff. i mean, i see a nice 300 pp. charles bukowski type book in your future!! me, i'm working on a set of poesy books my/self, full of philosophy and plants and stupidity (certainly not my own...) and women and sex and drinking (to keep my bukowski thread, here) and hiking and, well, you get the picture. no chiles in there yet though - but maybe i'll sit down with my small batch knob creek (bourbon, that is) tonight, puff on a good cigar and write an ode to El Grande. yes. and when's that book coming?? Robert.
