He was a U.S. Navy Veteran, artist, curator and member of the United Cherokee Indian Tribes of West Virginia. He was a strong proponent of educating public school children about the role of early indigenous people in shaping today's culture and society. He developed a one-credit course on the Mound Builders, who were among the first inhabitants of the area now known as West Virginia. The NAS program is especially grateful to Professor Couch for designing our medicine wheel logo.

More and more Jewish people will be flocking to Israel in the days and weeks and months ahead.

Headline Of The Day Ticker Tape Parade Hails Yankees Heroes Rather cheapens the word Hero, No? And the ticker-tape debris made it all the way over to South Street. Go HERE. Test Results May have discovered the cause of my dizziness. Allergies. Couldn't sleep last night so I took a Claritin, went to sleep and felt better. Went for a walk and aside from the thousands of drunken under-achieving Yankee assholes and an equal number of NYPD surly bastards, I couldn't get past City Hall.

I met a woman in '81 in Puerto Vallarta who did some sailing and told me about being in the doldrums where you don't move for days. She said you could toss a cigarette package overboard and it would still be there the next day. Also the stars in the sky reflected in the water made it seem like living in a sparkling bowl. Sounded nice. Go HERE for her web page. Ms. Riggins Here's to you again Deb. The virtual Dries welcomes you back. Also got a new painting in the works. Quantanamo Go HERE.

	11/2/09 Country My Ass The Possum tells it like it is. Go HERE. Quote Of The Day "He should say to the country, 'The Republicans will not allow these things to come to a vote without a filibuster. We can't get anything through. So, good luck. Take two aspirin -- and you'll all die of the next epidemic." -- Gore Vidal's advice to Obama on health care reform Cell Biology Go HERE. V.S Naipaul I'm currently reading the authorized bio called The World Is What It Is and I'm amazed at just what a sick puppy he was and is. Knighted and Nobel Prize winner, Vidia taught at Wesleyan when I was still there and we became acquainted for a year or so. I found him an idiosyncratic, amusing, and often foolish man while also thinking he is one of the great writers and thinkers for many decades. He was living with Argentinian, Margaret Gooding, his 25 year long mistress at the time and we got along well too. A little too well at one point. Some day I should write a memoir. Ms. Riggins Wha hoppen. FB eat you or kick you off for miss-behavior? American Splendor What a great and unique movie.
