Beer Songs is an intoxicated ramble of the Parisian streets. It is un-apologetic, surrealistic, funny, sometimes sloppy, and always full of life. It is a cry of loneliness and a cry of passion. It is meant to be read out-loud over a mug of beer, or two, or three ...

Here’s the last paragraph of my first professional review:
“Of the 24 entries, four of which are subparts of a segment called Vacuum Dance, perhaps the most outstanding are "Her," "Fast Train," and, the most impressive of the lot, the poem listed under Vacuum Dance called "The Market" which is mesmerizing, gritty, and literally a work of art that extends universally beyond the realms of most contemporary poetry. This particular poem is a treasure that deserves a seat in future great works of literature collections.”

Thanks for the acceptance of my friend request, Needles. It is in all ways a pleasure to meet another storyteller. May the adventure continue. I believe you'd like Major Westfall as he tackles terrorists in HONOR DEFENDED as they attempt to attack the Washington State ferries. Let me know. May this turning of the Great Wheel of Life bring you many blessings. Be well, DH

<br />"War Brothers are not chosen, for
<br />In conflict mated, we were created
<br />Sentenced as each other's keeper
<br />Till death do us part."
<br /> ~The Major
in the drunk driver's class assigned there by division 63 we are given tiny yellow pencils to take a test to see if we have been listening to the instructor. questions like: the minimum sentence for a 2nd drunk driving conviction is: a) 48 days b) 6 months c) 90 days there are 9 others questions. after the instructor leaves the room the students begin asking the questions: "hey, how about question 5? that's a tough one!" "did he talk about that?" "I think its 48 days." "are you sure?" "no, but that's what I'm putting down." one women circles all 3 answers on all questions even though we've been told to select only one.
on our break I go down and drink a can of beer outside a liquor store. I watch a black hooker on her evening stroll. a car pulls up. she walks over and they talk. the door opens. she gets in and they drive off.
back in class the students have gotten to know each other. they are a not-very-interesting bunch of drunks. I visualize them sitting in a bar and i remember why I started drinking alone.
the class begins again. it is discovered that I am the only one to have gotten 100 percent on the test.
I slouch back in my chair with my dark shades on. I am the class intellectual.

"Who killed the electric car?" Check out my last blog to find out Needles. It has a web link that tells the truth about elelctic cars. Thanks, author Mark Gasser
The Democrats and Republicans both are lying. Solar is one of their biggest. The truth is, it is the only source of electric we need. But it is free, and the rich don't make money from free. Here is a link, that tells how cheap solar panels are now a days. Or just punch these words (Cheap Solar Power) into your seach engine, for the truth we don't see on TV. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/07/070719011151.htm
I'm editing A Demon Awaits, getting it ready for press. The book will be released October 15, so I'm in overdrive for the next two weeks. The early feedback is great and I've got a few events already lined up for the fall.
It's a great day here in NE. I might even have to hit the pool when my eyesight gets fuzzy from all the reading.
