G'day apostates (that includes you SirFRED),
My life keeps getting weirder and weirderer. Just when i get used to spirits moving stuff about and having full blown conversations with the forrest animals some new thing pops up to freak me out. (writing this article high up a mist shrouded mountain where yowies are said to roam is adding to the surrealism .. I'm headed back to Sydney and it just struck me what a funny week it's been so I pulled off the road to write this down.
A year ago I made friends with a young bloke who has dreadlocks, a lot of tattoos and rings through various parts of his anatomy (as is the fashion with young'uns right now) Last week he, with his brother in tow, rolled up at my place wanting a place to crash for a while. They'd hitch hiked 3 days to get here so I put 'em up in a tent. Around the campfire I asked about Easy's family and he said he was the Eldest of 8 kids. I said I'm the 4th of 8 but it's unusual for parents as young as his to have so many kids. "What haven't your folks heard of television" I joked. "No, they're Amish" says he.
"What? Amish? In Australia?" says I. Well apparrently it's true, there are folks of that particular branch of Dutch/American weirdo cult right here in the land of cows and bees. These boys are still clearing their heads of mind-control stuff and I was pleased to compare notes and pass on a few tips. (They were enthralled by Steve Hassans "Combatting Cult Mind Control".
It's a funny old world, who'd have thunk it .. there I am building a barn the old fashioned way with giant beams and along come two Amish boys .. am I going nuts or is life getting all coincidental on me again?
cheers, unclebruce offloading.
PS: Pity 50 of their barn erecting brothers never rolled up .. this building lurk is time consuming ;)
PSS: Things like this freak me out: I walked outside the other day and stood there as a log about 3' long x 4" thick slowly lowered itself back into the fire from about 1 foot in the air .. no strings attached .. no demons to be seen .. why don't ghosts play with unbelievers? ... why don't atheists see such things? The truth is they do .. but then leave blind sceptism behind
