He noticed I had a copy of _Good Omens_ by Pratchett and Gaiman. We started talking about science fiction and fantasy. He said one can understand the horror of our situation by learning about what happened to the Herero people. When he left, I noticed he had a ukulele case.

I clicked on "33 states" hoping that Ohio is one of them, but alas, that section is password protected. Ditto for trying to find out if any of the 6,887 grand lodges are near my home. <br /><br />The Knights Templars figure in Ishmael Reed's "Mumbo Jumbo" and I noticed all of the people in the photo are black. Maybe they are rogue Reed fans? Cleveland Okie (Tom Jackson)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07810736442596736041noreply@blogger.com
