not a silly but a good question andrew
which will perhaps one day be permanently answered on our home page

but in fact the easiest way to view attachments is to sign up for
individual emails in advance

failing that
browse up our boundarypoint gmane loom at google
& subtract about 10496 from the message number you want as indicated
on our bp message board

oops
that may not be the exact number but it is at least close enough that
you ought to be able to find the correct number from there

perhaps someone else can do better tho


in the meantime
as you already mostly know anyway
i spent an extreme as well as pacific armistice day yesterday at &
around about the peace arch
& simultaneously in clear view of the common extremities of dry
caus49w & the northernmost point of the southern west coast of the
continental usa
& bccawae too
aka the easternmost of the 3 tripoints formed by washington state
with british columbia & canadian crown waters
& after the fog cleared doug murray became visible at close range as
well
carrying mike kaufman in his cell phone as it turned out
& i even saw bccawam eventually too albeit still at a great distance

& all of this was crescendoing in a most concentrated happy hour just
before sunset on the webcam while completing the 86ing of the curse
of great war too

for as you probably also realize
the special puzzle presented by the great war aka wwi concluded 86
years ago yesterday was really no different than the supposed curse
of the great bambino concluded 86 years ago last month in st louis

thats right
more of an appearance than a real problem in this case too
but such is the power of our thought that something really had to be
86ed in both cases

for just as merely thinking the babe had cursed the redsox made it so
for those who thought it
so thinking the supposedly great war to really be great at all has
made war great for those who thought it so

but clearly war cannot be great
just as clearly as the babe didnt curse

at best & at most war is just nothing

i mean when it is not outright loss

& no matter how much naught you have in such a case & how naughty you
may get you still have nothing

obviously

& nothing can never be anything let alone be great

even the idea of an armistice was a great pretence
when what is really wanted is real peace

so happily we have 86ed all that folly too
just doug & me & a crazy quebecker who walked 100 infinity signs
around the arch as we stood there chatting about this & other things


so
to crib a line from another great northwesterner

from where the sun now stands
war will never again be great


yikes
& all the above is terribly rushed & garbled i see
rereading it quickly
but there is not much time left on this computer to fix it up
so i hope you will understand
til next time

beeps
