Louetta's Lore

[Rob]

By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.
Dark behind it rose the forest,
Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees,
Rose the firs with cones upon them;
Bright before it beat the water,
Beat the clear and sunny water,
Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water

Just a tiny fraction of Longfellow's epic poem that takes hours to read. Yes, indeed, that poem is a long fellow—and easily among the best ever written.

The poem that always left me scratching my head was Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky."

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe. [etc.]

Its not entirely clear that it means anything. Its a poem, albeit a short one. I mean what does the Song Of Hiawatha mean (By the shores of Guitcheegumi (sp?), by the shining deep sea water, stands the wigwam of Nakomis, etc ad nauseum.)

Separately, what's the difference between a wigwam and a tepee? Well, off to the pool. Got to work on the bod as well as the mind.

Today's lesson:

On the matter of Longfellow's Hiawatha...I'll bet your Gitche Gumee he plagiarized it...It was really written by Nostradamus who was giving us an early preview of what was to come... called "Hakawatha"

By the way...here is the shortest poem...it is about fleas:

"Adam had 'em"

I think whacked is spelled with an h.

[Louetta]

Maybe we should call you Ms Optimistic?

I really do hate to see you lose...But we all do sometimes...Then we just pick up the pieces and get on to the next thing...Heck, happens to me all the time...Just a part of the game.

But even worse than the inevitable, periodic big loser is when we get "cocky"...As Spike says..."Nothing worse than making a mistake and winning"...That's really not an exact quote...But you get the point.

Anyway, I've made at least some money on 17 of my last 19 dt's the last coupla weeks...Usually when I get streaks like that I get cocky...And then I get wacked...For some reason or other I really don't feel cocky this time...I have not figured out why though. I'd like to think I finally got it down pat...But I know that is not true...I'll probably figure this whole investing game out about 5 minutes before I die...But it is fun tryin' and in the long run it's worked out pretty good anyway...

I dunno. The earnings report looks pretty reasonable to me tho the options would appear to be toast unless HSOA gets carried along in some big EOY NASDAQ rally.

Well...I'm not happy that your options will expire worthless...But I did warn everyone...However, I don't think it ends here...I fully expect some very bad news on this outfit in the fairly near future...Doug

Entertaining, provocative,...

Boy am I glad you're going to Vegas for a few days without your laptop. At least now we won't have to listen to you about being right on HSOA for the next three days.

Hate to rain on your parade...but I think I will take my laptop
