Russ's Story
Life
Boy! Have I changed.
Didn't go to British Columbia, Canada to evade the draft.
The draft evaded me. Wasn't my type.
Anybody out there know where Johanna Riddlebarer is?
I'm a wood worker, wood cutter, artist, poet, rebellious born again cynic now. When I was in Berkeley High, from Willard Jr. High, I assumed I was privileged class, dam near chosen. Coming from the then middle class culture, hindsight observes Russ to have been a bit of white racist, ignorant of the world, lazy and a bit stupid for his potential. Discovering aspects to the contrary is a never ending source of wonder, humility and joy of life.
Never take life for granted and never assume anything!
Contact me if u remember anything. I've forgotten more than I know.

I have an online art gallery of some of my life partner (wife of 45 years!!) and my art works. It's rather extensive and u might be entertained for a time or two going thru the numerous pages of the site. You can get there by going to
design page gry
and then going to
oracle gallery home link page.
What's my story! Well, it's not what's inside you that matters m...Expand for more
ainly (sort of, in an emotional sense). It's what you do and how you deal with the results of your actions around your feelings that do matter.
Poetic Allegory Time: We learn to grow around rocks and bend with the winds. We are as water, flowing, perchance knowing a sense of direction, perchance from where and to where something that might have something to do with or without us. Be certain of the uncertainty and that change is the only thing that is unchanging.
Nonallegorically Speaking: We are what we eat and we are burdened with what we bought. (Politically true, too!!! - right wingers...You bought the Bush Effect and we all got to live with it for eight years....)
For the old Athenians (elistist social club back then - late 50s)I removed your bench that you guys claimed was yours to sit on during lunchtime next to the snack shack. Cut off the steel support pipes at ground level to effect your assumned standing in the student community. Boy! Some of you were really perplexed standing there.
We got caught by one of the admin suits. He was firm, too well informed and could barely hide his amusement.
I'll share some more later.
