Dakota

And a great Festive Season (as we call it here) for Dakota and 'fellow' Americans from a hot South Africa.
Oh... uh... and a great 2007

P.S. (towards the end of the South African Summer people here start to clear Bushes. They are relativily dry and burn well. Sometimes nature helps with thunderstorms....)

And a hearty Festive Season (very nice use of non offensive language) to you too, Herman, and to all the Soekershofers.

A burning bush would be just the thing for 2007. We have accumulated quite a pile of dead wood -- should make for a spectacular show.

inflatable anything - well, at Christmas anyway - I'm trying to stay in context here, inflatables do serve a certain purpose in their place at times perhaps - is just... so very, how shall I put this delicately?

TACKY

but actually, I commented because I couldn't find your email. That woman who supposedly channels hicks? SO on the cult lists. Bizzare maven of vegan happiness that she is.

Hi Syd --

And the blowups that last for twenty years will undoubtedly become camp. Though they're dropping like flies around here already. Guess a good tire patch kit will be required to preserve them for antiquity.

I am so interested in the cult lists -- e-mail them to me, (can't understand why my e-mail clickie doesn't light up) dakotafeinstein@gmail.com

The only one I know is Sarlo's Guru Rating Service, which I think is pretty good. He gives all the new age channels a half pink pyramid "bogus, may have some value, who knows" rating. He likes Eckhart Tolle a lot, as do I, but isn't that crazy about Jesus, or maybe just what has been done in his name.

I hate cults. I do think Esther's method builds optimism, even if her ideas are pollyannaish (her own description). Can't you tell how optimistic I have become by reading my rants about the state of the union? I'm not sure she qualifies as a cult, since one is free to partake at will, and no money is required, but I could be wrong. Please do send me the lists.

Thanks for dropping by Best, D
