The Furious Spinner

I still can't type. OK. I'm typing, but it's painful. So I won't do it for long. A cactus bit me. Something about this event maybe coupled with my treatment of the injury with tea tree oil seems to have triggered the poison oak again. It's very odd. My hand is swollen and sooooo itchy. I went to Emergency this morning. The doc doesn't think it's infected. The whole thing is very disconcerting. And I obsess to the point of near distraction and insanity. I need a constitution change so that a) these weird things stop happening and b) I stop worrying so much.

In the meantime, the world continues. You've no doubt heard that the FBI is doing all kinds of nasty things in an attempt to "deal" with the protesters coming to the Republican Convention. What I want to know is did they do all this stuff to the protesters who went to the Democratic Convention (not that I'd be in favor of that either)? They are "interviewing" "known" protesters and they are infiltrating groups, too. Reminds me of what I've heard of the bad ol' Hoover days.

In case you haven't heard, Chavez won in Venezuela. This is a victory for the people, I believe. I hope the US keeps its nose out of it. Power to the people!

How would Jesus vote? A group of clergy and others tried to determine who Jesus would vote for. Most said it was obvious he was a liberal. Others said he wouldn't vote for either Bush or Kerry because he didn't get involved in politics. Hmmm. I guess I read a different bible when I was a kid because I distinctly remember Jesus going into the temple and throwing out the money guys. He also talked about rights for the poor, etc. Sounds pretty political to me. I thought the stories of Jesus made it pretty clear he was the original hippie, man. Peace and love, man.

I've got the TV on—my pacifier when I'm just about to go insane. Star Trek. The old one. I remember once sitting in a YMCA where I was bunking in Edinburgh, Scotland, watching Star Trek with a bunch of other people my age (18) from all over the world. It was strangely comforting, and it seemed that way for the others, too.

OK. This itches so badly I think I'll have to bite my hand off. A friend called to say in some Native American traditions if you kill an eagle your hand will itch. I haven't killed anything! Although I did see a dead eagle last month when I was researching the poisoned eagles in Oregon. I need a healing. Could you send a shaman my way?

I know I owe lots of letters to people. It won't be happening for a while; I apologize, but I enjoy getting all your letters. Thank you!

May You Enjoy Peace & Love, Brothers and Sisters, in Beauty! 0 comments
