Default Battle of the Sidewalk ][ - error

Ummm ...

1) If I did send you a private email, I don't recall it nor any particular

reason for it. But I do so from time to time.

You did send me a private Email and I post that information previously. I also
posted the fact that it had bounced twice.

2) The email address I use here ) is a valid email
address. If you concluded otherwise, there must have been a malfunction
at Yahoo.


As I said originally, I gave it two tries.

I did so.


Didn't work twice...

I never attempt to change anyone's attitude. But I sometimes choose to
share personal data privately so as not to offend.


On the other hand, sending "personal" data means that only one side of the
issue will be heard.

Please retry the address at Yahoo. If it does not work again, let me
know and I will provide you another.

I tried it twice.

Jon,

I refrain from making judgements about the quality of other peoples lives,
there is no way to know what their inner experiences are and whether they are
more or less satisfying than anything I might have to offer. When tempted,
I remember the old song, "A Satisfied Mind."


I agree. Here's a guy trying to pass something on-give people an
opportunity to peer into the realm of astronomy. In my small
community, I don't know of anyone that owns a telescope besides me-and
not the department store types that never get used. Starlord seems
committed in sharing his knowledge of the cosmos and telescope use-no
harm there. I can't help but admire what seems to be selfless use of
Dennis' time in that it might simply sate a passerby's curiosity for
once and for all an answer to the question "I wonder what it's like to
look up in a telescope?", or for that matter, inspire others to take
up the hobby. Setting up for 6+ years takes committment, not to
mention the time he spent doing this in Hawaii.


It would be interesting to hear what Mr. Merchant has to say and it is
possible that a skilled negotiator could achieve a resolution to this problem
that was a win-win situation for both parties. Jon Isaacs



Exactly. You've got Foster's Freeze & Babylon 8-ice cream & the
heavens-what more do you need? Dennis, I don't know how well you know
the owner, but it seems you've done business with him previously. Has
he ever come to your set-up, looked through the scope? That may be a
lost cause, considering the circumstances, but maybe not. I may be
wrong, but maybe a little cooling off period (even a short one) might
be helpful. Best of luck, and hope that things work out. Off topic:
Starlord, thanks again for the information about sonotubes...

I've watched and read the line of postings and made sure not to add to
it. But I have talked to some of the local people that are "In the
Know", and it turns out that they know the owner all to well, that if
you could believe him he OWNS all of Rosamond. They used the term "Bag
of Wind" as they told me not to use their names.

This makes me think ( that's trouble ) that they have had run in's
with him on some level.

In the past I used to buy a meal or coffee in the evening there, so
he's gotten money from me in the past. Now that same money will go
across the street to the ARCO Am-Pm mart and I can use the restroom
there too.

Plus with the e-mail that I've printed out and will take with me, from
my county rep., Kern County owns the sidewalks, not him.

As for going up, the weather will say yes or no, high winds I stay
home, low or no winds I go. on the night of 06/12/04
