One of the wonderful things about posting to a popular site, such as this, is the fan mail. Generally, I try to answer everything I get, but here are several examples that I thought I’d share with you, from this week’s mail bag.
What’s your problem?
Anthony, Kansas City, Mo.
Unfortunately, I do not think I’m in an ideal position to answer your question, Anthony.
Do you think you’re funny?
Andrea, Seattle, WA.
Sadly, yes. Yes, I do, Andrea.
Would it be too much to ask?
Terry, Oshkosh, WI.
I’m afraid that is also a yes, Terry. Yes, it would.
Thanks for communicating with me.
Yours sincerely,
Dan
UPDATE: “Are you a f*cking nut?!” Hahahahaha! No, YOU are a f*cking nut!!
Do you mind if I ask you a question?
B Moe, Athens Ga.
What’s your favorite thing about ME?
I like gettin’ to Bangor.
Why is the sky blue?
Diffusion. Or God. Take your pick, Young Jedi.
Scattering, Dan, scattering.
And God. It isn’t an either/or.
Regards,
Ric

I think it’s pretty much different ways of saying the same thing. Agree with you as regards God, but have to make young Jedis think, nevertheless.
Ginger or Maryanne?
Dan, if grasshoppers carried anti-tank weapons, would birds still screw with them?
Both . The only reason they were stranded so long was because the Professor was nailing them both . Give me a break , the freaking genius could make a radio out of coconuts , garage door openers for the Howell’s hut , but couldn’t lash together a serviceable raft . Who could blame the geek tho , Ginger and Maryanne were pretty hot back in the day , would have hit em’ both too .
Who put the bomp in the bomp-de-bomp-de-bomp?
McGehee
The Mental Institution Formerly Known as America
so was I right about that ocunter-tenor thing?
You sang the goose bit didn’t you?
Bill D. Cat, as far as I remember from my many years of watching Gilligan’s Island, the radio was a real radio. I don’t think the Professor actually made one of coconuts.
Nitpicker …. it doesn’t change the fact he was doing them both .
WAY off topic….Major John,I need you…I’ve been trying to compose a short poem/story to tell the younger folks in my charge about Memorial day….the words escape me. All I can come up with are Shakesperian sonnets or “there once was a man”…Help please???
LOL!!!!….This effin thing reads minds….aid98??
Good luck with your poem, Blitz! Take photos and tell us about it.
Blitz, are you looking for US centric poems or will any do? E.g., “In Flanders Fields”.
Robin,I was trying to write something original but my writing skills are on a par with my typing skills…But you and another have given me great suggestions. Thank you!!
Oh, and happyfeet? You owe me a keyboard AND a beer!!
Thanks Dan, I actually knew the technical answer (serious amatuer photog, golden hour explanations etc.) I was looking fo a more philosophical answer. My first question was just going to be ‘Why?’ but I thought it might come off as too smartass.
