Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my hot potatoes! How are you? It appears that we’re finally getting our summer in September. Better late than never. Or, I’ll take what I can get.

No needy emails or pleas for help were received this week. I did receive a missive from an Armando Valladares entitled Obama-Clinton: “Big Stick Policy” for Honduras and “Smiling Policy” for Cuba. I quote: “Proclaiming loud and clear the truth facts that hurt the contemporary Goliaths, with irrefutable arguments and evidence, in an invariably educated and respectful way, is the most effective manner to help up the small and heroic Honduran David, as well as the brother Latin-American peoples who suffer under the malign effects of Chavist ‘axle of evil’.” Darn that axle!

In my never-ending quest to help Racine, The City After My Spleen, I offer another valuable suggestion to the powers-that-be: Gypsy/traveler sites/camps. They’re all the rage in England (like roundabouts):

http://www.bordercountiesadvertizer.co.uk/news/78674/more-gypsy-sites-for-oswestry-.aspx
And there is also all sorts of that funny British money available from their government to pay for it. I’m sure that corresponding stimulus funds must be available here. All I ever hear about from our civic and economic leaders is how we must attract visitors to Racine. Trust me, if you build sites for gypsies, they will come. Unless, of course, there is some sort of prejudice problem . . .

Following, my friends, is an educational video from Edgar Cayce’s Association for Research and Enlightenment (http://www.edgarcayce.org/). This is only part 1 of 5, so if you’d like to watch the entire program, click for the start of the playlist here. I don’t make claims for Mr. Cayce one way or the other, but I do know that some rather fascinating things occurred in his life.



That’s all for this week, folks. Don’t forget to send your lonely hearts club letters to: madamezoltar@jtirregulars.com. Pastrami!
