You read a damn fine story, and I love your voice! My first buck was not as exciting as this one, (I’ll just say my dad could tell, when my lab found the arrow had just a touch of blood on it) that I was glad I had missed the mark… that deer not stared at each other for so long. My legs went to sleep, and worse than that, I started liking the fucker!

Well Jim, I'm a staunch vegetarian too except when I'm eating the Jr Baconator stack burger in my kid's Windy's Biggie Bag (five bucks comes with fries chikken nuggets and drink!). Anyway I want to say to good ole boy Bil, that if I were running the roost out there in Nebraska I'd see to it that we tranked all them bucks, strapped tactical nukes on them set to go off if the buck was shot, then buy some popcorn and watch half mile sections of the landscape go flying up in the air every hunting season!! That would learn them hunters!! Those that survived that is! Then we build memorial gazebos in the center of each cleared off area, stack mementos in them like melted rifles and burnt up hunter boots, then plant weed in the rest..good for the local economy!

That's a huge compliment. I really know I can be kind of rural funny at times, but writing is getting hard for me as my health is deteriorating and it's stressful to boot. I'm not saying no, because your newsletter is just my style of humor, but let me think of what a weekly column from me would look like that would fit in with the whole Rulo experience.

Letter to the Editor,

Dear Sirs, I want to protest our corrupt city council voting to allow that out-of-state billionaire to put one of his grotesque Waffle King Palaces at the Municipal Landfill! Those structures are the ugliest ever and those gigantic ten-ton cement waffle roofs are painted a kinda brown green. Nobody but nobody would.eat a real waffle that color. Plus I heard from a cousin in Kansas that they found a Junebug in of their waffles!

Maybe a Church of Dudo News. Current locations Of the Arm? Sundry Miracles, Merchandise promotions. Divine interventions. Healing Grace Chapel concerts

Ladies Auxiliary Dudo's Dudettes, various mysterious goings on. Missing fire hydrants. Ten ton waffles. Signs and wonders!

Are you sure the weather wasn’t caused by the same aliens that created that eclipse?

You might be on to something. I wonder if there is any eclipse insurance out there?

After reading this howler, I started to worrying that you might be creating more enemies in low place, and in case you didn't already know how to acquire proper safe clothing- KEVLAR https://www.safeguardclothing.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2uiwBhCXARIsACMvIU1OEiqqINk8dUU0knr09iKgm-bYlBrMdX8ZqIkrWH4xSuG7fCyfLjQaAnZGEALw_wcB

I appreciate your concern! I won't be bullied by the corrupt city council! The true power in Rulo is the community! Democracy will prevail!

We might not have a call center or a weather machine, but we have community, culture, and art!

And then there is that lovely lady, Karma, who sometimes graces her deservings with understanding of why they just got their shit storm, and sometimes she just leaves their ignorance alone :-)

I dunno. The more I read the more puzzled I get- it takes me time to process this much awesomeness and para-information. I don't want to sound conspiracy like, but have you noticed the strange resemblence between "HAARP" and "AARP"?? What's in all them letters I keep tossing unopened in the trash?? Something's going on for sure!

Why don't you Rulo boys search the cab seats of your clapped out pick-ups and those spring-showing sofas in your bungalows what with the caged parrot screeching, your pitbull growling and those kallikack neighbors playing In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida on their boomboxes at 3am-. Collect all those coins and reefer joints and traipse on up to Falls City and buy out that gazebo factory and get in on the corruption payola!?! Just saying...

Damn its like you have been to Rulo, or have you lived in your own Rulo once upon a time? If so where?

South of Nebraska, North of Mexico. West of the cross timbers. East of the Rockies! Dirt roads every which way, jack oak and junipers. Pecan trees in the gullies as well as dumped stuff, old homesteads rotting away, abandoned , rusted out cars resting on their axles with grass growing through the floorboards. Rural poverty Jim. Rusting windmills with brackish water tanks, old style pinyon fence posts none straight anymore, folks without a lot of teeth, both young and old. Lotsa dead critters hung up on the barbwire fences. Bagworms all over the trees. Nights pitch black. Days blustering hot. Hard country, Jim. It's a graveyard of failed dreams.
