Michael covers that story in his book--it happened in what is now Great Basin National Park--it's been a few years since I read it, but if I remember correctly, the scientist's boring equipment broke and he got permission to cut the tree down and even the guy with the saw wasn't happy about doing it. They're beautiful trees and I love to be up among them--the book is published by the Univ. of

Sage!

I will read your review soonishly - it's already late, and I haven't unpacked a thing, and tomorrow night I guess I'm going to a show, meaning that I'm not going to be unpacked for quite some time. I wish I could find my towels, at least.

Oooh, and I don't think I've read or even seen either of the books you mentioned. The one written from the point of view of a bar sounds

My problems with evaluations has to do with most of them being meaningless--it sounds as its different in the publishing world (which is good for anyone interested in writing has to be willing to listen to others...) Although this is not the case for my blog, but pretty much anything else that goes on with my name on it has been reviewed by one or two others and I accept their suggestions.

Sage:

Oddly, I love evaluations. I love honesty, and I've been lucky enough to choose the kind of workplaces (independent companies that care about writing!) that give me fair feedback. My goal, always, is to be a stellar human being, & the kind of feedback I get is usually translatable to the rest of my life. If I had God, I could go with whatever I decided The Bible tells us.

Extra nostrils, maybe your sinuses were clogged and you were needing more air--I remember sleeping in the Sierras at 13000 feet and waking up dreaming I was being smothered--I'd fight to get out of the bag only to get back in quickly because it was damn cold.

Thanks for the Davis link--she has a lot of short stories there and it was fun to listen to her read them.

I hope your

Sage:

Woah, last night I dreamed I had extra nostrils in the end of my nose. So I had, like, four nostrils. I don't know what THAT means. But in the dream it felt like this odd sign of distinction, and it made me proud. Weird-looking, though.

I've crossed similar bridges, in another country. The trick is to hold tight to the cables. I'm almost to the other shore!

Interesting dream, being fulfilled is good, I've been dreaming a lot lately, you've got me thinking about them. That bridge looks nasty, but I've crossed a few like it and they make you appreciate the other side mroe.

Cordinices, eh? Wow, I love that creek. It's a nice, shady spot & nobody else at work seems to be aware that it's there. I think I'll keep it a secret.

The movers are coming Sunday afternoon, and I'll get the place spic and span Sunday night, when my apartment is empty. No worries. How 'bout getting a slice of pie with me, after I'm all moved in, 'ewis?

Really nice to hear things are working out well. Again, if you need a hand moving or toting or bale-lifting or apt cleaning to get your deposit back, give a hollah.

I think that's Cordinices Creek you are seeing!
