Neil Gordon's Comments

Glad it all arrived DharmaDaDa Neil. Oh yes - into Burroughs in a major way.

Neil, how thoughtful of you to read between the lines and realize that "serious weightlifter/powerlifter" is one of my top three goals. Socks always do it, yes! Truth be told, SockDreams has become a top company thanks to my addiction to socks. You wouldn't believe ...

Good to see that the green chop-chop card arrived, Neil! I have been doing acrylic splash/paintings on this heavy watercolor stock paper...then cutting up into post card size pieces. Glad you like it! xx

Thanks for the beautiful collage! I put something in the mail for you

Love the "Senior Friskies Chili with Beans" piece! Thanks!.  And I like how the cat on the Friskies label is "dreaming" of the lamb, chicken and fish that he's about to devour...

Great "cocoa" mail art, Neil! Soooo"Greek"! 'Love the train stamp, too!

Thank you so much and be well! xxx

Hi Neil, i am glad the the CD arrived safely. And it needed only the standard postcard-20 gram stamp! Yes, the image is from an old vintage elementary school reading book. And it is all about "plant-a-tree" for Greece (where we have many forest fires and few trees). 'Glad you like it!

Thank you for the nice birthday greeting, Neil!

Something coming to your mail box soon! xxx

You know, I hadn't ever heard of JohnTrudell's music... But now that you've recommended him, I'll be looking him up to have a listen!

Hi Neil!  So glad you like the drawings.  The most prominent native tribe in Seattle was the Duwamish tribe.  Seattle is named after Chief Sealth, who was chief of the tribe.  The Duwamish were mostly decimated by the bombardment of white settlers in the late 1800s, and many of the remnant people of the tribe were "relocated" across the Puget Sound to Bainbridge Island where the Suquamish tribe is now located (and where Chief Sealth is buried).  Today, the Duwamish are fighting for recognition from the U.S. government--in the 1890s industry moved in so quickly and changed the landscape so fast, that there has not been a lot of "evidence" of the tribe's history in order to stake the tribe's provenance, nor are there a sufficiently large enough number of remaining Duwamish heirs to satisfy [the U.S. government's]  criteria for the granting of first-nation status.  The Clinton administration had dangled a treaty in front of the tribe members, but the Bush administration squashed the proceedings and all hope of the tribe to claim its own official heritage.  It's really an example of the awfulness of governmental bureaucracy...  Ironically, with recent construction projects, the city has been unearthing archeological  treasures of not only the early white settlements, but also evidence of the ancient peoples of the area.
