used to be called mixed up This week 1 had planned to come out flatly and make a lot of new enemies and new friends by taking a stand on the Cruise missile and maybe a little shot at abortion But my Cruise thing got all mixed up with the Fourth St Fusiliers fighting town hall and I made one remark at a dinner part which began such an abortion fight between two old friends that I got scared and retreated into my carapace to write about something we all agree on the The weather Is lousy You can write that at almost any lime or the year in Canada and make friends It too hot or too cold Thcress too much rain or not enough There was no fall and now theres no spring K That dispenses with the weather Now 1 was going to say that we should test the Cruise missiles in Canada which the is going to ask us to do despite all the mealymouthed evasions of our M and our Foreign Affairs man Mac Each en perhaps the only man in the government who can out mealy the P M My argument was to go something

retold a snippet from a novel Id read in which a hunter shoots a pregnant antelope tears out the fetus and eats it raw claiming Its the best part of the meet Next thing knew I was sitting between two ladles making like a tennis spectator as the abortion ball flew back and forth between them until he only thing I could offer was some rare roast beef So Ill have to push those topics off for a bit until I am not emotionally involved Anyway it nicer to deal with people than Ideas The people may be a little Many people have my request to drop a line David and Ivy Eons of are fed up to the ears
