Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020
From my youth up I never liked the city.
I never forgot the mountains where I was born.
The world caught me and harnessed me
And drove me through dust, thirty years away from home.
Migratory birds return to the same tree.
Fish find their way back to the pools where they were hatched.
I have been over the whole country,
And I have come back at last to the garden of my childhood.
My farm is only ten acres.
The farm house has eight or nine rooms.
Elms and willows shade the back garden.
Peach trees stand by the front door.
The village is out of sight.
You can hear dogs bark in the alleys,
And cocks crow in the mulberry trees.
When you come through the gate into the court
You will find no dust or mess.
Peace and quiet live in every room.
I am content to stay here the rest of my life.
At last I have found myself.
— Tao Yuan Ming (Tao Qian) Chinese, 365-427

Cue Dennis Leary “Voices in My Head”.
I don’t know if any of you remember the blogger Cathy Seipp, who passed away from cancer in 2007, but she was on a show with this knob when he went off on her–yelling, leaning in, being intimidating, the whole set. Wow, what guts, he treated a petite female cancer patient to a threat display. There was a situation which called for a chasmatician.*
Where have you gone, Chasmatic
A nation turns its’ lonely eyes to you (woo woo woo)”
*chas•ma•ti•cian (chăs-mə-tĭsh′ən)
noun
A person skilled or learned in punching people in the mouth who rate it.
Yes, the “Maverick” McCain exhibited even more volcanic eruptions in his lifelong burial of MIA’s.
Chasmatician, wow. High standard. Fitting tribute for that Spiller of Soup.
I was telling someone about Chasmatic just the other day. He is missed.
