Here we are, approaching the dog days of summer, and ol' KapnKen in his guise as perfessor emeritorious of Practcal Knowledge University, comes a-calling upon your cyber doorstoop jes' like a hip JW.

The Afghanistan thing is bankrupting the country. Just like it did the Russkies. Seems to be the way it's gotta be. Only way America can join the other nations as an equal is to be brought down to size. Not a bad thing. We're lucky in Oregon, been riding boom and bust cycles long as I've lived here so we know how to quit spending. Good thing we have the internet to keep us linked up, all over the world. Simplify simplify simplify. I've always wanted to have a fish pond here on the property as a food source. (for the herons, probably). I food shop once a week and every week everything is higher priced. As the gas goes up so does everything else. Funny how the media in all their workings are far behind the curve when it comes to reporting what's really happening in the ordinary households. So there you have it. In Colorado they are killing prairie dogs by the thousands on weekends, gun clubs going out in the country and knocking them dead at six hundred yards. Now there's a food source

 The Proper Assignment
by Ken Blabs

what would be
the proper assignment?
lunch on the
white house lawn
halftime at the super bowl
free meal for the
homeless at the park
here's a tip,
check your mail,
cash on the way
always meant to sway
the odds on it being
a most meaningful day
time to make hay
when the sun do shine
I believe that's
in the summertime
time to eat hay?
too full after eating crow
I can't skip reality completely
can only put it off for a little while
at a time and then the durn thang
sneaks up on me with a belt
across the behind
while my arm has all the fun
forearmed is four warmed
four armed is quatropussy
like a kitty cat taking them on
from inside a square
the same as kitty-corner
indeed, rushing from
one end of the litter box
to the other, spewing stink
I'm always behind the curve
and couldn't make it
in the big leagues
so happily went back

to spitting one liners
off the tongue lickety split
and returned POW over the fence
why did Barry Bonds
have such big balls?
a big secret which explains
why he has his private dressing room
and when someone goes in can
be heard to utter, oh my oh my
had a fella who mysteriously lost
20 mph off his 100 mph fastball
when he turned to cough syrup
insteada his muscular cocktail
I would like to believe
its all in my mind
and then I go and
run into a tree
sing a song of sixpence
and whaddaya git?
blackbirds, sheesh
I got up this morning
to brush my teeth and
when I turned on
the tap in the sink
water gushed
all over my feet
the cat had knocked
the drain off kilter
a mere twist with the wrench
at last as the last exit
from the balcony is
nailed shut on this caper
and I'm back in the saddle agin
back where a fren is a fren
where the cowboys howl
and the doggies go bow wow
thank god that's settled
now we can get
a decent night's sleep

TIME TO FIX THE BRIDGE AGAIN

BRIDGE REPAIR

 

For all of you who have been inquiring about the status of my Vietnam novel, first, thanks so much for your interest and encouragement and support. I'm happy to report that I sent in the completed manuscript after extensive reworking with my good friend and editor, David Stanford, and now the book resides with my other good friend, literary agent number one in the New York publishing biz, Sterling Lord, who will be shopping the book this month of October, 2009. Stay attuned.

Well, he's still shopping it. 11-8-09
No news from New York yet. 12-9-09
Gadzooks, 1-4-10 and still no news
Patience is needed, 2-5-10
Wait is over, book is sold, 2-10-10
Contract signed, 4-22-10
Publication date: Spring 2011.

Someone said, when he heard I was a Marine helicopter pilot in Vietnam, "Thank you for your service," and I said if you want to thank me then start protesting the stupid war we are in now.
