The Writer's Life 10/27 - Corpse Dancing & Other Delights

According to an article in today's NY Post, an Arizonan has put his ranch up for sale, claiming he’s been harassed for years by aliens who even tried to abduct his wife. “They actually levitated her out of the bed in the master chamber and carried her into the parking lot and tried to draw her up into the craft. This is why I want to move.” In the past 20 years he says he has experienced many strange events, and claims to have killed more than a dozen extraterrestrials on his sprawling ranch. A photo posted to his Facebook page shows a bloodied samurai sword in a pool of what looks like dried blood. Another picture shows a wound on his calf allegedly inflicted by an ET. The property has been featured on Ghost Adventures on the Travel Channel and has garnered international attention. He recommends anyone interested in the $5 million property to be “very well-grounded. It’s not something for a traditional family, but it holds a lot of secrets and what I believe are future opportunities to understand forces that are in the universe..." (Edited by yours truly.) Let's see - they have the technology to travel long distances through outer space yet allow themselves to be killed by a guy wielding a sword - and they allow him to live after many of their own have been slain, and they are too incompetent to abduct the wife. I don't rule out the possibility of alien visits, but I've yet to see convincing evidence of it. Here's a pic of the house:



Continuing in a paranormal vein, from another article in the Post, health officials in Madagascar, an island nation just SE of Africa, believe they've discovered the cause of a plague that has infected 1100, killed 124. The affliction has coincided with a sacred, yearly ritual when families exhume the remains of dead relatives and dance with them in the street. Of course, some locals believe the plague is a government conspiracy. I was going to post a picture but deemed it would be further desecration. There are plenty available on the web. All of the dead seem to be wrapped in shrouds.

Since the Harvey Weinstein story broke, some people have become very touchy about off-color humor. Liberal icon Ellen Degeneres has come under fire for a joke she tweeted that referenced Katy Perry's impressive bust line: "Happy birthday... It's time to bring out the big balloons." She included a pic of herself staring at those bodacious hooters. Soon stand-up comics will have to run their routines by panels of busybodies before being allowed to perform. I wish George Carlin were alive to comment on all this madness.

The JFK assassination files have been released. I'll be very surprised if there's any information in them that solves the mysteries of the case. My guess is the revelations will only add to them. Anybody with dirt on the matter is probably dead. A Post article highlighted the Russians' belief that LBJ was behind the plot. That was suggested way back in '63 and not a shred of evidence has ever been found to substantiate it. I still believe Oswald acted alone. Granted, Ruby's murder of him makes it seem as if a conspiracy was behind it. That was the only aspect that had me keep an open mind on it. Just this past week, after all these years, it dawned on me that the planners - if there had been any others - would have likely killed Oswald after he left the book repository and before or after he entered the theater where he was captured. The speculation will continue, and even more books on the matter will be published.

My thanks to the kind folks who made purchases today, especially the sweet elderly woman who bought five books in Russian, and the young woman who arrived just before closing time and selected eight paperbacks.
