How often have you thoughtabout life on other planets?
For myself,
I have spent time thinking
and thinking about this.
And thinking. But
Zargon is the only planet
(other than earth, of course!)
that I’ve been in touch with.
Zargonites are already on
the planet earth in small numbers.
The first time I noticed them
I was at my brother’s house in
Conway, South Carolina.
I was standing outside smoking a cigarette.
(ThankGod, I don’t smoke anymore!)
(Which is neither here nor there...)
They were watching me from a spaceship,
which I finally noticed from the corner
of my eye. A blinking light.
I got frightened of being taken finally,
and ran inside. But I peeped through the
bedroom curtain, and they were still up there.
I don’t know how they did it, but they
followed me home to Florida.
When I told my friend Buddy about them,
he laughed. But he believed too
after he watched the blinking light
a few times. (Well, he said there
might be something out there.)
They need to use some of our land
for food. They are giving out of usable
land for the manna they need in
order to survive. That’s all I’m telling
you about Zargon today.
((Yeah, yeah, I hear you laughing, Leroy...))

A.J. Thurber. When he was 5 years old.

To move on.
One of the most fascinating animals
on earth is the camel. I’ve always wanted one,
and was very disappointed when I found out
there are laws preventing this.
At least where I live.
(Can't keep guineas either...)
Camels not only provide transport for people
and goods, but these ships of the desert
are used in full.
Their hair is woven into rugs and tents and clothes.
Their manure is burned for fuel.
Their hides make excellent water containers,
and they are excellent sources of meat and milk
in places where growing and raising food is difficult.
Can you say all this about any other animal?
If you have never had a cup of Camel Milk,
you must try that. It's exotic.
I didn’t know until recently that camels were introduced
To Australia! They served Australia well for many years,
But aren’t used there as much today.

A fence there designed to withstand the onslaught of cattle,
kangaroos and camels has a 'supply voltage' that is
substantially higher the normal twelve volts,
and will stop anything …but a camel.

They spit at you so don’t aggravate them. Yuk,
their spit may contain some nasty germs too. So….
Keep Camels Clean.
Did you know that in many Arab lands,
A camel has more rights than a woman?
We would appreciate some Arab input
on this topic.

Here is one on Boat Coverings and how to make

Your foreign language lesson today is:
English: Any attempt to remove me from
my computer could result in bodily harm!
Russian: Любая попытка извлечь меня от моего
компьютера была в состоянии привести
к в bodily вреде
Portuguese: Toda a tentativa de remover-me
de meu computador podia resultar
no dano corporal!
...One can never tell when one might run
into Russian or Portuguese sailors.
Bon voyage! Au revoir... Αντίο.
