Greetzz, Guys

Been reading the annotations very extensively, at first , only with my own
insight and previous knowledge of the context
and general message of the work of Mr Pirsig, but then after that, been
reading them again,after i spoke with Dave of the
annotations , especially in regard of Pirsigs reflection on The Perrennial
philosophy(Huxley).
Dave placed the annotations in the same context as he is doing here,..and i
'm able to see that Dan is doing the same
and on top of that , apparently Ant went the same path, trying to keep the
annotations in context.

Yes well i agree, very important to keep them in context, and especially
this , the carefulll reader needs to read and to plow thrue
the black parts too, not only the red annotations,there is the need to keep
it all framed.

But reading them, trying to explore them, i found no inconsistencies in
regard to the content/context of Mr Pirsigs Books
I found no inconsistencies in Dave's abstractions on this matter, nor on his
abstraction on the Perrennial phil eye-wink of
Pirsig in the annotations.

So i agree with Pirsig, Dan, Dave, Ant.
This point of view , however , is not in any way written on the purpose of
disagreeing with JC, i like your stuff , JC,..most of the time.
and i still remember a nice written posting , very crisp clear, neat, and
intelligent about the Monterey Bay area.
It took my interest for several reasons, it was superbly written,it had
content, was consistent and it showed you have something to say, without the
nessecity digging in the annotations, you have stuff to say about your own
life's impressions, and i like to read it
i like to know this native things, how it is written, how it is
expierienced.........loved it all the way, good path.

I like to know all this things Jc, you should write more of the good
stuff...not the lesser stuff.
What i meant to say JC, is this , throw of the backpack you are carrying,
will make you one of the best Squirrels around here.
Okay, and now i have to do some Quality-gardening, and thinking back during
that about this Monterey posting you made ,
will improve or make my day, maybe i will read some more of you guys later
this evening.
