But he never had to hitchhike through LA in the rain, LOL, but anyway, Charlie, thats what i mean by suzy being one. The changeless one.<br /><br />but it laate now and i haveto say a bloggy goodnight to yuo. bye bye from ms american pie.<br />love yu charlie two crows' straight from my heart to your heart from the true, froom the legendary,\<br />from the one and only,<br />suzy blah blah<br /><br />huggles,<br />ssuzy blah blahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-32943511392391495352011-08-08T00:02:59.693-07:002011-08-08T00:02:59.693-07:00really?!! omgosh, that's embarrassing, LOL! bu...really?!! omgosh, that's embarrassing, LOL! but i love you fro making time to read it all. whew, i don't even have time to shit these days, not to mention burning sage, theres so little time, I put my kid to bed and i'm exhausted. but i relax somethimes typing and it looks like i have a few minutes to thank youuu Charlie, that's so sweet to hear. Theres been a lot of raven activity around here, very noisy. Maybe its your prayers coming through. I havto listen harder, or maybe not try to listen, . . . CAW! CAW! <br /><br />thats so cewl that you made your fortune the white mans stock market LOL. it makes me smile. And i'm praying for your continuing health and that there are no relapses. Smoke that medicine. It must be awesome where you are in neveada. I love the desert, sooooo quiet and with a such a big night amazing sky. And cowboyss wearing guns to Wallmart LOL. It sounds good. <br /><br />You know, I had my friend write the Suzy comments fair a spell, so it looks like everyone seems to think it wasn't me, suzy, but they don't get it. this one and the other one are both Suzy ie Suzy is one ,, LOL That's the REAL legend. Peolpe get legend confused with history. but in legend there is no linear time * line ... one doesn't come before or after the other because the other isn't in linear time ... another words you could read the old suzy comments in any order you want, you could ever read them upside down and you'd still get the same "message?", or maybe i should say "mess". LOL///<br /><br />-And so that's it.<br />When i fierst met Ernie i parked in a position which he called "behind his truck" (but what's behind to some is in front of to another) and to his way of thinking, i blocked him in, theat was a red flag. I thought he was one of his employees when he asked me to move out of the way, and then later he said on the bolg all apalogetic, that it was him, doing business LOL@ ... I was totally surprized. I'd pictured him really really differantly. That's how visionary i am LOL <br /><br />so maybe you read about hhat in the archives, i think he tried to give me a special free downtown parking spot ..LOL@ you know parking is a major problem, specially when ppl park behind you hmph. but if it's suzy that's differant cuz i'm a "legend" and everybody love Suzy (in that chapter), well, I wrot e to Ernie, " use your imagination" LOL. I wasn't really surprixed hwen he didn't get it. He always presents himself real nice though, in his misinterpretings of hte legend. Thing is, if Thay aren't "behind" you, and if theyre not next to you, they must be in front of you. right? LOL Thats what a history minded person will never understand. Because they can only understand things in order. I knew a watch repairman once who was an example of some one like that, everything needed to be in a strict order for him to have understanding of it. And it was him i was thinking of when i said, " And sometime i think love and understanding are close to hte same thing" LOL!!!!!!!<br /><br />and Ernie loved that line enough to hang it on his wall LOL, thats what is cwel about misunderstanding legends. Its a whole different understanding when it comes to bullshitstory. Ha, Love and understanding? Is that from the old temstament? or was it otis redding?

They were based at Camp Grant, and mustered out in 1865. He is on the South Fork district census in 1870 (with a brother W.H.) and in 1880. <br />There was, or is, a Leggett Creek coming into the SF Eel there around the current YMCA camp. Maybe it is by the Redway treatment plant--I haven't walked in there, but am going by an old map. <br /><br />The story of his settling in Leggett Valley has not showed up in my search yet. I think Nashmead became their family home for a longer time than they were in Leggett. <br /> <br />A son, James Knox Leggett, was a good neighbor of Estle Beard's.<br /><br />(In the census it is spelled Leggitt, today the town and valley are Leggett)omrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-51032293673335564232011-07-20T19:21:10.669-07:002011-07-20T19:21:10.669-07:00i found out that james patton was the half brother...i found out that james patton was the half brother of milo patton according to a cousin in an old letter to my grandma grace. i found a picture of both of them in their later years on the blocksburg history blog. trying to get in touch with some pattons. they lived in alderpoint and might know the leggetts there.spyrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685726716755909658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-7158898450722427252011-07-20T16:45:45.722-07:002011-07-20T16:45:45.722-07:00there are pictures of george and elmer legget in f...there are pictures of george and elmer legget in families. both of them wearing cowboy hats. looks like an early 50's cowboy dress picture. there were a couple of crabtrees in one of the pictures.spyrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685726716755909658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-89619654997665121282011-07-20T12:04:45.059-07:002011-07-20T12:04:45.059-07:00I don't have anything on the Leggett family.

Her husband made violins. At a very bad time in my life, This mid wife had the words and the spirit to speak them at a time when I hated everything and everyone. Suzy your spirit reminds me of her. She taught me to listen. Then I never saw her again. Don't know what happened to her. About ten years ago I started sleeping outside in the desert. I had never been quiet enough to hear my own blood going through my body. Now on a moon less nite I can see stars from horizon to horizon and listen to the earth turn. Now I'm teaching my oldest son to slow down and learn. So Suzy don't get caught up in the bullshit. Continue to have that spirit that teaches hard heads like me. Peace and Prayers.

That's the kind of communication that is blocked out more and more by ordinary communication --media like blogs newspapers tv etc. Ordinary communication, distacts from mystic and visionary communication like yours. I'm not saying you don't know this, I'm just saying. Media communication makes everyone like everyone else. More and more so they get merged into the same thing. But that's a whole diffenent "oneness" then the medicine wheel teaches. <br /><br />The only way to keep one's originality is to be shut out of these forces of communication. But I'm afraid that's happening less and less. Even in the most remote places on earth you're likely to run into someone on a satalite phone. And as we observe this apparently inevitable mono-culture taking form all around us, we also notice that their is less and less <i>true</i> talent.Forest Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16640256047850689570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-76559707937962088302011-07-17T22:54:53.832-07:002011-07-17T22:54:53.832-07:00i actually have a younger friend named maria who w...i actually have a younger friend named maria who was born in guadalajara, mexico. i imagine she is around suzy's age. she had a voice that i had heard back in the early 70's on mt tam and a few other times before she was even born. so when i met her i was already fascinated by her. she used to call me blue blue at the end of my name. sort of like blah blah. in fact, she still calls me blue blue. when i first met her, i used to give her advice about the job she was doing. years later after i lost my printing job i find myself doing her job and she is one of my bosses now. so the tables have turned somewhat. i guess that's what happens when we get older. we are still good friends but it's a different relationship that might not even exist if we didn't work at the same place. but i know in my heart that i have probably learned more from maria than she has learned from me. she has been one of my very good teachers and i am the lucky one. she is sort of like that mother hen that likes to peck at you. but if someone else trys to mess with you she would probably beat the crap out of them. its nice to have youngin's like maria and suzy around.spyrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685726716755909658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-65084096944711951682011-07-17T20:53:01.153-07:002011-07-17T20:53:01.153-07:00Bad day at Black Rock.
