---------
I have written and re-written this newsletter
because the server is still having problems
sending it out.

May have to change servers for the newsletter.

The news which I had written about -
is now all old.
We have watched a lot of brinkmanship
in the last couple of weeks.
In Congress.
In Asia with China.
In the Middle East
With Iran.

But - the world still continues to spin -
although it looks more and more
like a gyroscope toy -
that is about to fall over.

At this moment the news -
according to the news -
is supposed to be all good -
about how the employment situation is improving -
even if the stock market is down.

Anyone who studies the employment figures -
knows that they are all fake.
Less unemployment because -
they only count those receiving unemployment benefits -
and the millions who have been laid off -
have run out of benefit eligibility.

Fewer being laid off -
because millions have already been laid off.
And so it goes.

For some categories
like Latino or Black males in some neighborhoods-
the rate is over 80% -
and such jobs as the others have -
are generally minimum wage dead end.

In my view -
these things -
and many other -
are just all part of the world
wrap-up scene.

But now,
to get to what is happening here.

Fellow working on the radio -
has returned from Nova Scotia - I assume -
but hasn't activated phone mail box -
and email mail box has been full -
so that bounced.

Claudia and Michael are coordinating
a work weekend at Ark Two
for August 26, 27, 28

A couple of persons have expressed an interest
in coming the following weekend
which is the Canadian Long Labor Day Weekend
Sept 2-5 2011.

Please come and join the fun -
either weekend or both.

Anyway, please respond immediately to this newsletter -
if you would like to come -
so we can plan for how many are coming -
and that we know to whom to send out further details.

The new book that I am writing -
is in problem also -
because I need twenty-three
short stories (3-400 words) for it
and I am still short five -
but one of those is supposed to be in progress
by a writer whose father had a heart attack -
last night.

[This story improved -
since I wrote that -
because her Dad got back home from the hospital -
in two days -
and she sent me the story.]
I am now down to three missing stories.
Hoping to send it all to the typesetter tomorrow.

Have had some very good help the last couple of weeks.
Don't remember where I left off telling you about it.

Claudia and Michael here one day.
Rob came down from Collingwood another day -
and worked with Gregg and Lisa -
developing a hood for the cookstove and soup kettle.
Sepp has been here all week -
so we are getting some things done.

But - lots more to do.

Come join in the fun.

Interrupted here -
Greg and Lisa grabbed me at the door
and we ran up to where Jean works -
but it was two doors north of there.
Six police cruisers
ambulance -
and fire emergency truck -
as we turned around and left.
Woman screaming angrily about something.
I don't know what -
because we were gone as soon as we heard it.
The equipment is still all up there.

------
Still haven't gotten this out.
Supposed to call the programmer right this minute -
to see if we can start sending.
The program we will use will take hours.

Jean went to work early this morning -
at 7:00 (early for her)
but called and I had to go up
and help her and the nurse.

Came back to work on the truck.
Brought in the charger after midnight -
but was going to add water to the battery.
Greg saw me out there -
so he came over and had me take the truck over to his place.
Thinks I may have an alternator problem.

I was stuck out on the highway yesterday -
and he went with me to retrieve it.

Now - to give programmer at the server a call.

Peace and love,
Bruce
