Gypsy Angel

Don't you love the Gypsy Angel,

When She flies away from you.

Don't you love the Gypsy Angel,

When She flies away from you.

And you would fly right after Her,

But there's nothing you can do.

When my Gypsy Angel

Waves Her wing,

She starts the trees to rock,

And starts the rocks to sing,

Gypsy Angel Gypsy Angel,

Please fly by me one more time.

I love you Gypsy Angel,

Throw this drowning man a line.

The Psycholizard was awake this morning at 9am, sitting at the computer when he noticed a man dressed as a fireman fiddling with the electric connection to the street.. The outfit puzzled me because the meter reader doesn't usually dress that way, and his uniform was much dirtier than the usual fireman. I exited by the front door and noticed the smoke. Fireman don't wear clean clothes when they do their real work.

Smoke poured from Y's unit in the front apartments. A crowd of onlookers and and many firemen gathered in front, and a burnt mattress in the front lawn told most of the story. The electric cord on a heater had been poorly repaired, the resulting short set the mattress on fire. Her dog was alone was in Y's apartment, but her neighbors were friends with a key who let her dog out, and another neighbor had a fire extinguisher and the judgment to break a window and spray the fire out from outside before the fireman arrived.

This mattress fire spread smoke throughout the apartment and the firemen also gave a few squirts of the hose. This made a mess, but it could have been so much worse. The Nananator was in good form, and a crew of the usual suspects was assembled to clean up. B. and A., T., H. and R. from next door, plus many of Y.'s friends gathered to help her get her apartment in shape so that she is spending the night there tonight;

I neglected this blog as I produced the three Bella Roma musical shows. I enjoyed the shows but I think I will just try to book my own act in the future. I really enjoyed the performers I invited, but there really wasn’t time for all the acts I booked. The recording of the first show was a great success and truly documents the amazing songwriting talent that we hear at the open mikes I attend.

Lordlizard celebrated his thirty ninth birthday last Sunday, the afternoon after the Lizard show. Most of the local clan attended. P. arrived from N. City with Ju and Jy, Scum arrived separately. Also B. with A., P. and M.. C. arrived with his young B. who is now quiet but talking a little. J.P. arrived a bit late. Nana and myself were there of course.

Now P. is here preparing for B.’s Birthday party next Sunday. She’s battling the bugs and dirt to prepare a big cake for B’s birthday to practice for the big twenty five year anniversary in June.

I’ll keep you posted.

Chaos reigns in N city as B. continues her visit. Once again we hear from P the plan to bring O. home. M. O.'s friend is now here from Bakersfield, and as usual when B. is there the house starts to fill up. J. next door is very concerned because he would never have rented to B., let alone all of the people she likes to bring home. He talks of giving P. notice before a group of drug users move in and force him to evict. We hope it won't come to that.

When she first arrived B. talked of a court date that she must make shortly, we are not exactly sure when. Does anyone out there know more? Personally I don't even know what name she is using now. She now drives a rented van and we thought Idaho suspended her license. B. might take this vehicle for her own If she follows previous patterns of behavior, and leave P with the bill.

All these disasters might be avoided if we can persuade her to make her court date in Idaho, if anyone has information or influence now is the time to use it. Perhaps call P. or myself. I don't think I have much influence on B. since we are not speaking. I worry about M. O.'s friend, I don't know her, and I remember how P. and B worked together to swindle P. when O. first became hospitalized. Now they are talking of bringing O. home and B. and M. caring for her. Last I knew they were both very Ill themselves.

The weather is beautiful here and the show on the twenty third is on schedule. Lordlizard is tuning up the tonsils for the big show. Hope you can make it, if you can't C. is videotaping.
