Snowman,
The Idiot's Frightful Laughter has been a real albatross hung about my neck. In 1970 I went to Pokhara, Nepal and lived in a mud hut for 21/2 years writing the book. That's where my children were born. I had nothing - no electricity, no running water, no sewerage, no heat, but they were the happiest days of my life. This may sound incredibly paranoic but if you know anything about Patriot Act 1 & II you'll realize that our Bill of Rights has be trashed. I have valid reason to believe that the Feds are blocking my mail especially that which I send to publishers abroad. Except for the ending, it is quite accurate. I'm both Grecco (Bertalini) and Grant.
Yes, D-2024 is correct. The 14 indicates the number of years off and on that I was a member of USPA.
I'm assuming that you have a lot of questions. You might want to read Khaki Mafia by Robin Moore. It confirms a lot of what I said about corruption.
Well it's all being repeated in Afghanistan, isn't it? I must go.

Finding the correct thread is difficult, isn't it.
