THE FUNDRAISER IS OVER The car is repaired. Sits high and drive and level. The outmoded, wornout, broken rear air suspension ripped out and replaced with regular heavy duty springs. The fund raiser brought in enough money to pay for the repairs and also cover the cost of the website and the domain name for another year.
Undying, unflagging, unfailing thanks to everyone who participated in the fund raiser. One last imploring plea: keep the secret DVD a secret, please. Don't make copies and for durned sure don't post any of it on the internet, otherwise the explosion will be heard all the way from the legal beagles baying at the courthouse doors in lawsuit mavens to hirsute hackers hiding in outhouses toppled across the hinterlands. Nuff said.
With this out of the way, time now for the ol' kapn to pull in his sails, tie up to a lonely reef out of verbal, electronic and telephonic communication with the regular blundering world in order that this wannabee, wouldbe, canbe author once and for all will bring to its gasping end the longest ongoing work of progress known to literary history: forty-five years and counting, his Vietnam novel.
Stay the course.

kapnken FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2007 Finally, all the bottles and cans from the fourth of july heading out in the old pickup to be distributed to the groups of people hanging out on the streetcorners with signs saying, WILL RETURN BOTTLES FOR MONEY, and what's left over, take to the recycling bins outside the supermarkets and give away the remaining nickel deposit items to the guys and gals redeeeming glass and aluminum for the wherewithal to buy ones that are full up. Fill em up.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2007 Here's the ol' Kapn with his bro, John, on the left, and Matt Sprague, former Oregon wrestler on the right. We're at the Oregon football game this past Saturday, doing our best to bring wrestling back to the university. Some bozo paid the U of O 2.3 million dollars to shitcan the athletic director so the university could hire the bozo, who, , soon as Oregon State our arch rivals won their second college national championship in baseball the second year in a row, decided to bring baseball back to the University of Oregon, but in order to do so, dropped wrestling. Also, in order to comply with title IX, that says women sports have to equal men's sports, the bozo added competitive cheerleading to the sports program. Now when the competitive cheerleading team does its thing, the regular cheerleaders cheer them on.
In another fist of twate, Nike billionaire, Phil Knight, donated 100 million dollars to the athletic department, making the bozo very happy, but not so much so that he'll bring wrestling back. If he did that he'd have to add another women's sports program and he says that isn't possible. Good old blind boys of Oregon. Ah, kwitcherdambelliaken. Too bad Kesey isn't still alive. They'd never have pulled that crap with him around.
The International Crptozoological Society (Berkeley), formerly
associated with the 1997 Bigfoot Museum in North Beach, will go out to a "hot spot" for Bigfoot in the mountaions near Tahoe,where they have obtained good photos before, checked by biologists.
