Howdy Noah,
Let me introduce myself. I'm your great (great!)
uncle, Unca' Joe. As you said, all this taxnology
stuff is sure confuzurating. If I didn't keep a
mirror around I'd not even know who I am!
What do you like to do with your off time?
Hobbies? Girl friend? What kind of movies/TV do
you like? Do you watch
Family
Guy? I think that's a hoot, but I like to
watch MMA too and
National Geographic and the Food Channel and
the
Weather Channel.
Since I'm not working and don't
have the security of a regular job and don't leave
the house my now I get on line and check the local
weather a couple times a hour just in case of
floods, tornados, earth quakes, volcanoes, falling
satellites, and other sorts of stuff that could
really screw things up around here. Maybe I'm a bit
paranoid about this stuff considering I do have a
nice burrito wrapper I can take shelter in and I
keep gallons of bottled water and rice and peanut
butter and toilet paper here, just in case.
Have you tried toilet paper yet?
Pretty nice, huh! How did folks get by in the old
days? Ever wonder how cave men trimmed their toe
nails? Just pound 'em with rocks? Chew each others
down real good? (Oh yuk!)
By the way, don't get too freaked
out by how cold is outside. It's like this only
about half the time. Just hang in their, lil'
buddy, 'cuz it's going to get really excellent after
a while. Here're some pix for you:


And I'm in the process of setting
up a photo gallery in Shitterfly that everyone can
groove on. How are your computer skills? PC or
Mac? From what I've seen on the emails it looks
like you're being exposed to the latest tech. Me,
I'm old school---don't even know an I-Pod from a
piece of toast.
Any particular kind of work you'd
eventually like to get into? Hands on stuff maybe
or more management oriented? Entrepreneurial or to
be in the corporate world? Whoodathunkit, but I was
in the corp. world for 30 years (I'm sure you have
someone handy who can help you compute that sort of
#) and they sent a bunch of us adrift into the vast
and unfathomable spaces of the cosmos. It's kind of
wierd, but Opra and
Dr.
Phil and some idiot named Spranger (or
Spanker or something like that) keep popping up here
in my personal space. Really weird, but it's the
court TV shows that I get off on. What morons there
are on the loose.
Careful along the way Noah, 'cuz
you could end up sitting on stage with your
neighbor's sister's mother's boyfriend's daughter's
pimp just tearing each other's shirts off while the
celestial cheerleaders chant, "Jerry! Jerry!
Jerry!..."
Time to sign off now, Noah. Just
hang tight to your mom and pop and their crew and
you'll be alright. Them's good peoples.
Adios amigo, Unca' Joe
But I might have something cool on the line. I'll
let you know if it happens.
