Describe Yourself:Howdy! I'm Colonel Possum. I'm retired and live with three ole gals at the Old Hippie's Corner (OHC). Sage is an artist and my sweetheart of 30-years. Big Molly and her half-sister, Elko Mono, are old friends of ours that live in the OHC bunkhouse. We have three dogs, a passel of cats and thirty doves in a walk-in aviary.

Hey there, Coronel.....
My girls were all working their little chickie butts off this Easter season....seems they had a contract with the local deputy bunny. And they came through! Three different shades of brown and purty green-shelled offerings from LuLu. Now it's time for some well-deserved rest from the nests - they are splashing in the cool puddles I made for them in the back yard - and I've got my feet up with a Mojito in one hand. Have a happy Easter, Purim or other spring-time holiday of your liking. Blessings !

Dear Colonel, Names Ron, a stone-mason in Montana. Like it here, there isn't very many people, were world renouned for "Blue-Ribbon Trout Fishing" , really miss the old time,(hippie girls doing gardening,running around in their barefeet) the smell of grass. Anyway, I-m Building another house, this one out of River-Rock, went and bought another cook-stove, don't need it, but, I still love that smell. Alot of gold here, I live next to Bannack(Montana's 1st Territorial Capital). My little grand-daughter(3yrs), grampa, what's that? It was an album of the Doobie's. I sure miss the 70's, but had to cut hair to get work, can't do masonry on days like this,- 32. Discovered the computor, to get a rock and brick from each state for the memorial I donated. Ron, tell your sweeties, hi,

I worked with a journalist named Len Grzanka from Chicopee who served in Nam as a MED EVAC.
and also knew Brautigan in Japan when Len was studying for his PhD, if I recall.

I loved Trout Fishing in America. I always thought you reminded me of Richard Brautigan.
Fabulous other authors and musicians.
