Describe Yourself:Howdy! I'm Colonel Possum. I'm retired and live with three ole gals at the Old Hippie's Corner (OHC). Sage is an artist and my sweetheart of 30-years. Big Molly and her half-sister, Elko Mono, are old friends of ours that live in the OHC bunkhouse. We have three dogs, a passel of cats and thirty doves in a walk-in aviary. Molly and Elko drive and repair big trucks (lately, only when they feel like it!)

Hey there, Coronel.....
My girls were all working their little chickie butts off this Easter season....seems they had a contract with the local deputy bunny. And they came through! Three different shades of brown and purty green-shelled offerings from LuLu. Now it's time for some well-deserved rest from the nests - they are splashing in the cool puddles I made for them in the back yard - and I've got my feet up with a Mojito in one hand. Have a happy Easter, Purim or other spring-time holiday of your liking. Blessings !

Dear Colonel, Names Ron, a stone-mason in Montana. Like it here, there isn't very many people, were world renouned for "Blue-Ribbon Trout Fishing" , really miss the old time,(hippie girls doing gardening,running around in their barefeet) the smell of grass. Anyway, I-m Building another house, this one out of River-Rock, went and bought another cook-stove, don't need it, but, I still love that smell. Alot of gold here, I live next to Bannack(Montana's 1st Territorial Capital). My little grand-daughter(3yrs), grampa, what's that? It was an album of the Doobie's. I sure miss the 70's, but had to cut hair to get work, can't do masonry on days like this,- 32. Discovered the computor, to get a rock and brick from each state for the memorial I donated. Ron, tell your sweeties, hi,

I worked with a journalist named Len Grzanka from Chicopee who served in Nam as a MED EVAC.
and also knew Brautigan in Japan when Len was studying for his PhD, if I recall.

I loved Trout Fishing in America. I always thought you reminded me of Richard Brautigan.
Fabulous other authors and musicians.
