Who knew you were an Existentialist? There is a local bumper sticker here that says, “Keep Denman Weird” only to be outdone by a follow up response bumper sticker, “Make Denman Weirder.”

Your writing and the insights within are a highlight of my day. The straight/weirdness paradigm shift is what propelled me out of Moose Jaw 51 years ago. I suspect for a lot of my relatives I am that "West Coast Weirdo".

On another note "Change is inevitable, except from vending machines"...

It's so strange to talk to regular, mainstream people - what seems mundane normalcy to folks such as us is High Weirdness to them, possible very dangerous and at the least, deeply strange. I've been on the outside, happily, since junior high. I've had brushes with standard issue life but through force of will and inherent goofiness, none of it ever took to any real degree.

Stay weird, Dense - as Warren Ellis said: "It's a strange world - let's keep it that way."
