Just going about business as usual, thought I'd check in on Philippine headhunters. My friend here is known as Los Cuarto Amigo and Luke Stong quaked in his (stolen) boots, when I mentiond I might just bring him along for the ride.

Clowns! Run away! Run Away!
Larry and I cruised some this afternoon. The UC, Grandama's Antiques, and Coffee Bandits. Then we circumnavigated the Merced Range, aka the County Landfill.
Mt. Merced is depressingly unphotogenic.
The Merced River flows just north of it.
When Larry dropped by today and we jawed and drove and laughter became rampant, I realized that it was the shot I needed in my arm.
He reviewed Gypsys information, too, since he lived there in Degnan's Dorms that one winter of '71 and they were friends of his an Barb's, too, in Berkeley. Larry was wondering if Ron Cagle had been run out of the Park. He seemed to think he had been. But then, he was no Luke Stong. Far, far from it. Any clues, Gypsy?

Correct.
The Ash-lad has two brothers, Brian and Bruce. They live in a kingdom where the king has a problem with his daughter: She never laughs; she has never so much uttered a smile. So the king announces that whosoever can make her laugh shall have her as his wife and shall inherit half of the kingdom.

To make a long and complex story short, one main conclusion was that children in Denmark and Sweden were brought up under a pressure of regimentation and career pursuit, producing a number of persons unable to live up to the demands, feeling themselves as failures. In contrast, Hendin found that such pressures were weak in Norwegian families: children were allowed to roam around and experiment, however taking part in farming and fishing, - “leaning by looking and participating”, not by being instructed. In a relaxed way self-reliance was built up, avoiding feelings of inadequacy and failure.
I'll just observe that 1)There is no mention of Finland, nor Merced
and 2) The King never said which half

Good guess.
The Ash-Lad was "employed by the chief cook to carry firewood and water," whereas I was employed and self-employed* to cut firewood and was employed to service ground-water pumps.** Too cool, RT.
*Frank's Firewood
960 Solano Ct., El Sobrante
**Ike's Pump & Drillin', Almond Ave., Oxnard
They got themselves quite a character there.
But there's nothing mystic about zBrown or meMouse or Flames.

Gypsy, I've mentioned Ice Ax Turner here and no one has responded.
My take was his Dolt Blue Boots that he pUrchased here from the Mtn. Shop, probably sold to him by Len or Don Mossman (sp), on his arrival from the Northwest.
Millis and the Rev and myself met him at the Village Store as he just arrived off the bus, treating us to a display of baton twirling with his ice acks (sp?).
Tell us what you know of the Turnmeister. I am all ears.
Ed, WOW! Thanks.
