For someone who grew up reading been Done So Long It Looks Like Up to me, and Zen and the art of  Motorcycle Maintenance, I’ve had vMry little to do with actual motorcycles. Bernhard and Herb. Grenoble and Beloit.  

Oddly enough it is only recently that I realized that 

Austria, mostly via Bernhard, a friend I met in Innsbruck just after the turn of the century, and through Herb, my erstwhile Father-in-law. Strange that there is no built-in term for this familial role, given how many mixed families (if I’m using the right expression).

Michael I think you may be being too harsh on yourself about your writing these days. I hope you didn’t destroy what you wrote immediately after the incident. 

Why did the Soviet Union collapse? I’d love to read a piece on this that is free from cant and prejudice. Any suggestions?

Jezebel OT? In Islam?

Jezebel wan never mentioned in the Quran but Abdullah Yusuf Ali mentions her in , The Holy Qur’an: Text, Translation and Commentary, Note. 4112: “Elias is the same as Elijah, whose story will be found in the Old Testament in I Kings 17-19. and 2 Kings 1-2. Elijah lived in the reign of Ahab (B.C. 896-874) and Ahaziah (B.C. 874-872), kings of the (northern) kingdom of Israel or Samaria. He was a prophet of the desert, like John the Baptist, unlike our holy Prophet, who took part in, controlled, and guided all the affairs of his people. Both Ahab and Azariah were prone to lapse into the worship of Baal, the sun-god worshipped in Syria. That worship also included the worship of nature-powers and procreative powers, as in the Hindu worship of the Lingam, and led to many abuses. King Ahab had married a princess of Sidon, Jezebel, a wicked woman who led her husband to forsake Allah and adopt Baal-worship.”Elijah denounced all Ahab’s sins as well 

as the sins of Ahaziah and had to flee for his life. Eventually, according to the Old Testament (4 Kings, 2:11) he was taken up in  a whirlwind to heaven in a chariot of fire after he had left his mantle with Elisha the prophet.” < Wiki

A Defence of Wishy-washy Liberalism

We enjoyed The Machinery, classic of its genre. There is plenty of action, a plausible though strangly contorted plot with a twist at the end. Only thing wrong was it has been  previously, peremptorily dubbed into German. Since intra-Scandinavian relations are part of the setting, this blurs the distinction among Norwegian and Swedish.

After a while I became used to the dubbed German, so used that for a brief moment I took Nils Fermin for Heine. I did come to appreciate and recognize the individual voices of the anonymous dubbers. Also, I could easily follow the German, the dubbed version being concocted with trained actors who were speaking a synthetic “book” version of the language.

Random thoughts  on turkeys and bots.The former are friends. We don’t eat friends. Even spiders. Whatever bot, human, or what-not    

Don t laugh at my mention of eating spiders. When I was three or so I did eat one, at least it is so recorded in family myth.

Remember fishing  for crawdads in the ditch in my front yard. They’d build  these little mud clump mounds around the holes they’d hide in, all this when the ditches were full after seasonal rains. We’d take bacon, tie it onto the end of a piece of twine and use it to lure the crawdads out of their refuges. We’d  catch them  barehanded. Don’t remember ever eating them though.
