Thoughts of a possum...


Two Irishmen, IRA members, decided to ambush and kill the local policeman (as one does). They found a spot overlooking the road and waited for him to come cycling past on his way home. Time passed. The policeman did not appear. Darkness started to fall.

Mick turned to Paddy and said: "He's awfully late. I hope nothing has happened to him."

The big brushtail possum is a bit like that.

No sign of him for days.

Hope he's ok. Sort of.

  5. what would we be without our enemies? i marched in the peace rally in sf sunday... it was a remarkable afternoon. i teared up marvelling at how even the people supporting the war were protected in promoting their opinions. democracy at the personal level is a beautiful and noble thing.
