FROM THE PUBLISHER
|
|
|
|
Whutt rrrr yewwwww, ennnnn eeeeeee waaaay...
|
|
a drawl, by prime anarchist, your purple
|
|
pilled publisher,
|
|
[ not brought to you by Prilosec ]
|
|
George W - Jean or a Khaki?
|
|
Bush is definitely a 40 long tux pant. Black with
|
|
the grey stripe. The half inch cuff.
|
|
Gore? Polyester leisure-suit-pantsuit pant, of
|
|
course. You know, the kind. That ugly pukish color,
|
|
not blue, not grey, not really green, but almost...
|
|
And let's ask a couple hazbns...
|
|
Clinton? Sweats. You can get out of them quickest.
|
|
Bill Bradley is def'ly custom-made khakis. No one makes
|
|
jeans long enough. But not from the Gap. His pollsters
|
|
told him Gap and Starbucks are big no nos for the 21st
|
|
century prez hopeful. Now how does Mr. Tallman feel now
|
|
that it don't much matter one way or t'uthr?
|
|
McCain? Don't get me started! Definitely neither.
|
|
What does Adolf wear? No, not Mr. Sigfried. I'm talking
|
|
about Coors. The brewguy. Adolf Coors. Jean or Khaki?
|
|
So how about you? Are you a republicrat or a demopenguin?
|
|
Jean or kak(h)i?
|
|
Mexican abuser or Asian abuser??
|
|
Take your pick mon, Coke or Pepsi.

I actually wrote to them about it, contemplating just how stupid
|
|
they are. I mean, their filter removes all incoming e-mail other
|
|
than those addresses you want. So you still have to go through
|
|
your spam mailbox to check and make sure someone you don't have
|
|
on the "it's not spam!" list is someone you really care to talk to.
|
|
I wonder what's next, a filter that deletes all incoming e-mail
|
|
before you read it?
|
|
Of course after the nth complaint, they just stopped even
|
|
acknowledging I exist.
|
|
Hotmail: check your mail for free! (Unless we got hacked again).

TRAIN HOPPING : ON THE ROAD
|
|
by Aaron Kreider
|
|
[ed note: will be published in 3 or 4 parts...]
|
|
|
|
Prologue (On the Tracks)
|
|
It all started in May 1997 when, a couple weeks before graduation, a
|
|
roommate, Tim, came into my room and asked me if I wanted to hop a train?
|
|
A couple hours later, and after numerous rounds of Bridge waiting for a
|
|
darn train, we jumped a moving box-car with an open door (not a good idea)
|
|
as it slowed down around a curve and after a short, but fun ride, landed in
|
|
the Elkhart train yard where our car was detached and shunted (an
|
|
"exciting" process which ended in our open box car turning into a closed
|
|
box car with a jolting BANG!). Within two weeks, I hopped three trains,
|
|
once travelling for four hours (from Goshen, Indiana to Anderson, Indiana).
|
|
I'd never done it before and have never done it since. Not getting caught
|
|
and not personally getting hurt (jumping off a moving train caused mild
|
|
injuries to two of my other co-passengers) has encouraged me to explore
|
|
other transportation alternatives. The only book I know in existence about
|
|
train hopping is The Freight-Hoppers Manual for North America by Daniel
|
|
Leon (available by special order I think at http://www.amazon.com - not
|
|
easy to find!), and I highly recommend it.
|
|
|
|
In December of 1998, I read Jack Kerouac's On the Road (highly
|
|
recommended). It's a veritable manifesto for packing a bag and hitting the
|
|
road. Before setting out I read two biographical books on folk (or
|
|
topical) singer Phil Ochs. He was one of the most movement-oriented (civil
|
|
rights / Vietnam) singers of the sixties and seventies, and extremely
|
|
dedicated. I also read Hitchhiking in America by Dale Carpenter (highly
|
|
recommended), so that I'd know what to do.
|
|
|
|
The university kicked me out of my graduate apartment to put in nice
|
|
carpeting (whee!), so I decided to go home and then spend the summer
|
|
volunteering for SEAC (Student Environmental Action Coalition) in the
|
|
Philadelphia national office. Never having hitch-hiked (not even a short
|
|
five-minute ride), with much trepidation, I set out to travel from Indiana
|
|
to my Vancouver home. It's rather embarrassing, but I should admit that I
|
|
sold out my anti-materialist values and bought a GPS unit (so that I
|
|
wouldn't get lost and to encourage me to hop trains - it's very easy to get
|
|
lost hopping trains). Garmin III with a built-in-map if you really must
|
|
know. If anyone wants to buy a used Garmin III - email me. I also bought
|
|
a road atlas which was a very good idea.
|
|
|
|
The Story Starts Here
|
|
05.17 (a.k.a. May 17, 1999)
|
|
N41 '42
|
|
W86 '14
|
|
Today I had to move out of my room and clean it (and the house) by 5:00pm.
|
|
I got out before 6pm without hassle, though it was extremely stressful
|
|
trying to go through all of my possessions, sort, toss, donate, recycle(!),
|
|
ship, and find places to store the ones I wanted to keep. The day before I
|
|
drank pineapple juice instead of eating breakfast or lunch and ran off the
|
|
excitement energy of moving. About a week ago I'd emailed Goshen College
|
|
(my alma mater) friends Bryce and Thomas saying that I'd show up on this
|
|
day, so they kind of expected me but being busy with projects of their own
|
|
they didn't know what to think. I got a ride from my grandparents
|
|
(originally I was planning to hitch-hike to give that a trial run before
|
|
setting out on a large journey, but I needed to store some stuff with
|
|
them), ate supper with them in their apartment in Goshen (N 41 '34.092 W 85
|
|
'48.901), talked (they somehow assumed I was flying home, but didn't ask me
|
|
the date -- I thought it was best that they not worry about me so I
|
|
remained mute), and then around 10pm got a ride to where Thomas, Bryce, and
|
|
Jessica Smucker were staying (house-sitting a 19th century house where a
|
|
former GC professor of mine, Jo-Ann Brandt, lived - N 41 '34.764 W 85
|
|
'49.773). Thomas eventually showed up and we talked a bit randomly (as
|
|
Thomas normally is) and then I saw Bryce next morning.
|
|
|
|
05.18
|
|
I talked to Bryce and Wendell (N 41 '34.785 W85 '49.745 -- who had
|
|
finished his final exam) today. Since Bryce and Thomas are very busy with
|
|
independent term projects (making a film and doing a photography portfolio
|
|
respectively), I decided to leave the next morning on the Great Adventure.
|
|
Spent a lot of time figuring out how to organise and work my new backpack.
|
|
I was very glad to learn that my sleeping bag fits (barely) into the lower
|
|
compartment of my backpack. Talked to Jessica about hitch-hiking as her
|
|
brother, Matt (whom I'd last seen throwing blood on the Pentagon), hitched
|
|
frequently (and that very next day was going from MN to IA).

SUNDAY NOON - HOOTERS.
|
|
How many boat trailers are in the parking lot near
|
|
YOUR Hooters? 3 in mine. 5 in the next town over!
|
|
Trend? Co-inkeedink??
|
|
Now : my real question -- how many people return
|
|
faithfully from church right now and wait for dad
|
|
to come home? You're with the mom, the brother(s)
|
|
and sister(s) and may not know it, but "daddy-o"
|
|
is at Hooters hopin' 2 hook him a 19-yr-old! Or
|
|
at least look like it.
|
|
Will he come home from "fishing" and be present?
|
|
I mean really present? Or will he have that Nintendo
|
|
look all over his mug? You know those oggled-out eyes
|
|
that bugs get once a year when they're in heat?
|
|
Will he watch bowling and then golf and then football?
|
|
Will he make you get him a beer and some curly fries
|
|
and then tell you to get out of his hair?
|
|
OK I'll shut up now.

ATI! Questioning the whole pair of dimes since February, 1988.
|

Hmmm. Ever notice paradigm and pair o' dice sound similar?
|
|
|
|
I'll close ATI with a thought rather than a poem.
|
|
You ready?
|
|
|
|
I dig open mics more than concerts because you're not
|
|
here for me, you're here for art, music and drama. If
|
|
I can be that for you, fine. If I can't "off with ya..."
|
|
It's bigger than both of us.
