Black Letter Hatch

Now the verdict is final: the once bright red blood of Amazingwonders has tunred sour maroon and has ceased to flow,... sadly. But, as before, the purpose is to write, write, write, good or shit, keep it moving. What? 6 posts in the last 3 months? Maybe. However, people are still continually searching for Albert Ballister. Some being Ballister himself I'm sure, and also some law office here in Milwaukee. Amazingwonders reports deep regret that this subject is the most popular we have to offer.

If we conclude that the authors are lacking creativity and topic variety, then we must have suggestions. Okay. These are the ones I've received so far after putting an ad on Craigslist:

Geography
Princess Bride (movie)
Porky's
Lucky Charms
Halliburton
Warcraft (world of)
Mixed Vegatables (a potpourri pot of topical ointment)
Rock quarries nationwide - best ones to view and to swim in
Electronic advances
Advanced mathematics

None of the above will be discussed. Sorry. Advanced mathematics was to be discussed relative to the Princess Bride, however, do to shortcomings on both sides of the tracks, no discussion will be had. Mark Brier left his briefcase in the airport bathroom, in case anyone dared to inquire. Bad place to leave a briefcase these days. It was destroyed by robots and armed Latino guards.

The new topic will be Nike missile bases. Ever heard of them? Probably not. They were large rockets placed in and around large urban centers during the '50s to shoot down high-altitude bombers. The bases still exist, and I found out one is just down the street from me. Speaking of Visualizing Milwaukee, this old base sits right beside some government funded housing projects.
Find out if you can visit a missile launching pad today.


To further visualize Milwaukee, I decided to walk to the river that bears its name. I let my dog swim, only to realize that hazardous chemicals do indeed live in the riverbed, and my dog was not to swim in there. Cancer takes years to develop, I say. I am now truly feeling my comments that I made previously about visualizing Milwaukee - it can't be done through ignoring the past. So bring a picnic basket, a lead vest, and some 1" thick rubber shoes and we'll discuss it in the park. Honestly, and unjustifiably, I like it. It encourages the kind of imagery that I enjoy, and generally comforts me to see relics of generations past. Maybe in the future I'll be able to better spread the disease, as right now I can't fully explain.

I've been working on some stuff. Here's the one thing:

The Wit

And

The Elysian

Both places that I will never be able to, or probably want to, step foot into. But interesting architectural designs.

And finally:

4200

Read it and weep Sparkles. When you threw my papers down the steps and kicked my lawn bags over last week you said I'd never do it. Who's laughing now?
