Cleaning out thedeskagain 1 he had read In the local Acton Free Press Wednesday Jan 1979 7 New year fa a lime or ing the house the desk the mind Not to mention your personal relationships your language and your cars Ill leave the house to my wife And if you thank thats male chauvinism whatever that silly phrase means youre right A male is a male Achau is a super patriot And we all know what a pig is one of the most valuable animals man has ever created in his own image Theoretically Im a male I was so pronounced I imagine at birth due to certain plumbing I am not a vinist I do not believe in my country right or wrong although I love it I do not trust my government as far as I could throw a used car into a swamp And I am not a pig although I would nt mind being one Do you

sowbelly if you want me to get male and chauvinistic To wear pigskin for making gloves For sport making footballs he put the old pigskin square between the up rights For use pig bristles for making shoving brushes although I fear they are becoming plastic in this plastic age And finally sows cars for not making silk purses of that deals with cleaning up the house in a rather roundabout way The

with a lively account of the various events the pipers have attended in the past year Here a letter from an old fighter pilot friend who reminds me of the time on the way home from a country pub that I turn in the road and went straight through a thorn hedge Next day my face looked as though it had betn by a termagant with long nails And a letter from Beth Boyd a for now in Alberta I quote Hopefully you recall me as being tall beautiful and an extremely bright student However the reality is short acne and the only person who consistently spelled throughout as through Not so Beth I remember you exactly You sat near the back where you could titter and giggle with Fail Ellison And I sure the is gone And that you re short but bcauti And I m glad you are happy linn there the usual
