Mar 27 1990 - Feb 13 1992
Mar 27 Attitash. Start up what I think is one of the Borvig Chairs at 11 AM. It's cold going up. I see astoundingly
steep trails which, by sound of skiers, seem very hard. Don't remember these. View at top is also astounding. Ask two chaps
where I am. They tell me. I start down sunny frozen granular Saco. Guy dressed in bright red from head to toe goes Telemarking
past me. I see him fall way down below. When I catch up, I ask him which is the easiest trail. He is a Russian Olympic contender
and tells me to follow him. We go down upper part of Ptarmigan together. He continues on it. I go onto Saco. Very steep and
very frozen. A lot of work. I follow Ammonusuc down. Look for my Russian friend wishing I had asked him a bit more about things
overseas. Find East Borvig Chair. Take Far Out to icy Father Out. Reach incredible speed coming in to lift. 70 mph max, but
the snow is hard and the shock-to-knees very great. Inside Out. Up again, then Councilor's Run. Then Thad's Choice from the
top across to Learning Center. Get off at mid unload and do Lower Thad's Choice. This actually has some powder on it and is
superb. Do this twice more with great speed, carving huge arks and spraying snow. Tremendous strain on legs. Do Learning Center.
Up, thinking of a way down, which turns out to be un-do-able. Down Thad's, taking a little spill because left ski goes where
it wants as I turn right. NASTAR Slope is in use by racers. Messy meatball sub for lunch. Up Top Notch Chair, seeking Northwest
Passage, but end up same way as before except little elbow to right along final stretch. Up Borvig, down Far Out to Father
Out. Thad's Choice from top down to NASTAR Slope, now open. I reach breakneck speed on this, because skis won't cut. At Top
Notch Chair realize that I should be at Summit Chair, because I want easy access to Northwest Passage. Go to Summit Lift.
Am so tired, decide to skip upper mountain. Do Lower Thad's and Learning Center. Down Inside Out. In turning left at one point,
skis want to go straight. I try to turn but legs do not obey. Same again. On third try I turn and just miss ramming into two
people. This sprays them with snow. One looks disgruntled. I reckon this to be Late-in-the-Day Syndrome, where an entire day
of compacting the lower lumbar cartilage cuts off nutrition to sciatic nerves rendering legs partially dysfunctional. I believe
that this is why sometimes even the best of skiers get killed going into the woods at high speed. A good preventative would
be 100 mg Vitamin B Complex at lunch. Also to quit at first sign of this or at least take it very easy. Cross to Thad's down
to Lodge. As I'm leaving, run into two guys I met before my first run. Turns out they are from Greece. Naturally I ask about
Mt. Olympus but they tell me it's too steep to ski.
Mar 28 In opening my mail am delighted to find
earnestly awaited reply from Trump Organization. Exactly what I hoped for. Donald not interested at his time, but I'm in the
file for future reference.

Guitar Killers of the 50s" from the Library.
Apr 12 Continuing Soviet Military presence
in Lithuania as Soviet Jews exodus into Palestine. If only it could be Madagascar. Chap who murdered 87 people in the Bronx
last month claims the Devil made him do it.
Apr 13 c 11 AM as I head up Gondola at Loon.
Ski Upper Bearclaw to Grand Junction to Lower Bearclaw. Fairly soft granular over frozen. Up again, Haulback to the steep,
and for me still difficult, Lower Walking Boss. Even complete traverse gets me going faster than I like. Take Brookway like
driving a Porsche on a country road. Do Little Sister very fast the second time. Up Gondola, down Exodus to Upper Bearclaw
to Seven Brothers, which is a bit icy but right for my ability. Do Little Sister twice more - too fast, then more practicing.
Have nice char broiled cheeseburger and tapioca. Up Gondola with some folks from Maryland, one lady a real cutie. Take Exodus
to Upper Picked Rock but somehow get onto Upper Flying Fox - not as moguly this year, but steeper than I like under these
conditions. Lower Flying Fox easier. Gondola to Upper Bearclaw to Link to Brookway. Little Sister. Gondola to Exodus, Upper
Bearclaw to rather deserted Ramspasture. Little Sister again. Upper Bearclaw to Link to North Peak Chair. Sunset seems a better
bet now that Sun is back out. Upper Bearclaw, Link and Brookway.
Apr 15 More "revelations" about Soviet massacre
of over 4,000 Polish officers previously blamed on the Germans [A few days after this, I talk with a German woman who lived
through all this. She says "At the time we all knew it was the Russians. After the war it was only the government and the
media who said otherwise"]. They are saying it all occurred at Katyn, not just the initial 4,000 [I once read that the Russians
took the rest to sea and sank the ship]. Maybe someday the news will tell the truth about the actual numbers involved in the
"Holocaust", but I won't hold my breath.

Apr 24 c 11 AM at Sunday River up Little White
Cap Quad. Down Tempest which turns out to be expert. Up again, down Cascades to Express Detachable Quad. Down Lazy River fast
to Risky Business to Tourist Trap. Up Detachable, across Jungle Road to Upper Sunday Punch to Cascades. Up Detachable. Lazy
River as before. Back at Detachable, clumsy black kid has somehow ended up in the mud. He falls off chair at the top. I take
expert Right Stuff. When I get to steep part, decide not to do it, but the hike back up looks even worse so I do it anyway.
Up again. Ecstasy to Cascades along flat Road Runner to lunch. Big fatty hot dog and excellent chili. Up little White Cap
Quad. Down Cascades. Detachable. Do Lazy River as before. This time my legs fail me the same way as at Attitash recently and
I nearly go over a steep edge into trees and boulders. Up again. Jungle to Upper Sunday Punch to Cascades to Road Runner.

I just don't like no Black Sambos around". On Crossfire it seems that Canada is breaking up. Some Provinces may annex to US.

my block-front desk is, "now that Malcolm Forbes is dead, the second wealthiest man in the World" but will not refresh me
as to the fellow's name. He will also not tell me what newsletters he reads. I quiz him and hit two out of three - "Personal
Finance" and "IMAC". Aft. Begin reading Success With Your Money.

and decide to rent next house. Thinking I'll go underground, I call Monex and ask for my friend Clyde Oates. Office manager
tells me he was murdered by a hit man at coin shop across the street. He managed to warn his wife. She escaped and called
police. Murderer awaits trial. All this happened just a little while after we last talked in March 1989. This is the first
friend I have lost this way. It's a new emotion - the World seems much crueler than in did before. A friend and a valuable
ally. A very empty feeling. Eve. Zbigneu Bresinski refers to Gorbachev's statements regarding the cold war at summit today
as "genteel capitulation". Gorby is loved here but let's hope he retains power in Russia for awhile [This idea based on not
necessarily correct premise that his not doing so would mean a slipping back to Socialism].

of hypothetical placement of my furniture at Bretten Road, here, and at Ravenhurst - all three are do-able. Hear that there
have been 2400 air raids against Iraq in past day or two for a total of 80,000 to date. More already than Viet Nam, which

I was here. Hit ice area and have to take a fall to avoid trees. Rabbit Trail to new Bonaventure Chair. Angel's Wiggle has
ice hiding under two inches of powder in many places. Then Taxi to Can Am Super to Queen's Highway. Green Mountain Chair.
Down GM Boys to Racer which is so steep and icy that I end up walking down one place. This is unusually treacherous today.
Down to Deer run. Cheeseburger and butterscotch pudding. Up tram for the first time ever. Pretty rime-frost on trees at summit
and much colder. As I head down to Ullr's Dream, realize immediately that this is definitely my last run. Walk one steep portion.
Very exhausted.
Mar 16 Cologne this season is Jovan Andron.
Finish reading Why Civilizations Self-Destruct. Pendell's idea for dealing with declining human intelligence is better
than my recent more simplistic thoughts.
Mar 19 Nurse little blue spruce tree in front
yard.
Mar 20 c 11:50 AM Arrive at top of lift at
Balsams Wilderness. Very high wind all day. Good packed powder. On Connecticut, hit powder that's a bit deep. Same on Trusenglazia
near bottom. Magalloway. Very steep Cascade. As I start down Androscogin, wind really holds me back. Diamond Abenaki, Hereford
steep at end. Bacon cheeseburger and pecan chocolate fudge tort. Wind helps on diamond Mohawk. Fine run on diamond Sanguinary.
It seems whenever I get going well, even here, my friend Double Diamond Jim comes speeding up behind. Down Monadnock. Abenaki
closed so Sanguinary and of course, Jim, actually Jane, again. Mohawk closed so Cascade again. Wind has helped me reduce my
traverse. Perhaps finest day of skiing I have yet done. Too bad this place is so far away.
Mar 22 Realize that I must be strong and live
a long time so that I can have more chance to help make the world the kind of place my mother would have been happier to live
in. I owe that to her. I am her champion as well as Katy's, and Katy's babies, and puppies and kitties and bunnies, etc. Maria's
daughter Emmy is walking now - very cute. New Grand Union in Littleton, former PC.
Mar 23 Finally resolve that North Carolina
should wait until I'm about sixty. I will treat Philadelphia as a Northern city. Baltimore-Washington can wait until I move
South. Am pleased that Ma's little car is now owned by a girl, Pam Johnson, from West Palm. It's still in the family, genealogically.
Mar 24 Snow almost all melted is replaced by
new cover.
Mar 28 Gorby is now the bad guy in Russia.
Tanks in the streets. Thousands demanding his resignation in favor of Yeltzen. Think of Ma as possibly being reincarnated
as a blue heron. If so, heron I saw in tree at her house could be her new mother - quite a change from Effie.
Mar 29 Begin reading Bolshevism in Theory
and Practice. Goebels aptly describes Communism as "the dictatorship of the inferior." This is an equally good definition
of any Democracy not run according to Libertarian principles.
Mar 31 Index Journal. Call Pill.
Apr 2 Aft. Revise long plan so that my work
will be finished in year 2012 during March. Just in time for the huge technology increase to be used wisely [ I later added

not anticipated in original prediction].
Apr 4 c 11 AM With better "sport" boots and
skis, hit slopes at Sunday River. South Ridge Triple down Lower Lazy River to Detachable Quad. Apparently a mistake, Sluice,
off of Three Mile Trail gets me on Lazy River to Risky Business. Spruce Peak Triple down American Express to Lazy River to
Quad. Across Jungle Road to Upper Sunday Punch, where trough effect of trail on right is icy and I take dramatic spill. Leg
breaking averted only by boot. Down to Cascade to Easy Street to Main Lodge where I enjoy chili and raspberry strudel. Guy
from Tewksbury tells me about York Beach, Ogunquit, and Wells Beach and about the Paradise Club in Woburn - "Twelve pretty
women for every man". South Ridge Triple to Spruce Peak Triple. At top of diamond Downdraft, hear a guy tell girl, with nice
ass, that there will eventually be a snow bowl plus fifteen more lifts. Chicken out and take American Express to Lazy River

and cheese plus cherry cheesecake. Up Top Notch. Washington is covered with new snow. Down a treacherous Saco to a bumpy Ammonusuc.
Snow is very fast today,- wet granular. Northwest Passage proves to be much nicer with unusual scenery, big snow fields, awesome
view of road below, ledges with overhanging tree roots. Come down to Far Out then up Borvig, down Thad's to Learning Slope.
Then Inside Out and Thad's again.

Jul 23 Blend coffees.
Jul 24 Blend herbs. Pick up firewood cut down
by electric guys.
Jul 26 Contemplate beginning new life tomorrow
where I simply avoid rather than contend with bad souls [The trick of course lies in recognition. This ability increases with
one's own development and often involves merely learning not to rationalize about another simply because of mutual attraction].
Jul 27 Have nice talk with Lyman Coffey. Ed
calls. I tell him about "Freddy Krueger: The Early Years". A segment of this conversation is overheard by a back door eavesdropper who I hear on the step and then see through the curtains
skulking away. At crafts fair, the coward insults me and runs away. Is there a connection here? Possibly, because this individual
from Quebec and his wife were sneaking around behind the house just a week earlier. Any further repetition of this vulgar
display will no doubt prompt my henchmen do a little testicle slapping. I simply cannot restrain them boys. While working
in back yard, realize that avoiding bad souls will probably eliminate them from future incarnations.

Yowsa!
Aug 18 Decide to write only novels and let
the movie studio do the scripts subject to my final approval [naive, but this isn't just daydreaming. Last year I turned down
an offer to write a script, because I didn't believe in the premise the producer suggested. Now, under a different name, I
write my own scripts from the novels 9/30/12].
Aug 19 Well, the Commies are at it again. Tanks
are rolling into Moscow and Leningrad is sealed off. Gorbachev is under arrest and has been replaced by a Genata Yansyer -
all this allegedly triggered by Yeltsen's having said something about how they will have to remove him by force. Also there
is a bad Hurricane Bob on the way. Have decided that the Banner of the North for myself
personally will be the Eye of Odin. Banner of Wolfhaven can go in my mead hall on the North wall. Aft. Prune trees in rain,
awaiting hurricane. I guess I better plan a fallout shelter for the next house after all. Now we will rearm as planned, then
disarm, then rearm.
Aug 20 Tanks rolling to Leningrad. Air Corps
siding with Yeltzen in Red Square. Yeltzen holed up with functionaries. Tanks and troops outside waiting to remove him as

several personnel carriers of soldiers who have gone over to their side. It is the KBG behind the coup. Aft. Gorbachev is
restored to power, the coup is over, and Yeltzen is a hero.
Aug 22 Third day of violence in Brooklyn since
a Hassidic Jew killed a black kid while running a red light. A Rabbinical student has been stabbed to death. Blacks are yelling
"Hitler didn't finish the job". He didn't start it either, for that matter. Jewish Madagascar, Black Africa, White America,
all prospering and trading freely. I'm ready.
Aug 24 Hope I can buy the house on High Street.
Eve. Novack announces that Gorbachev has resigned as Chairman of the Communist Party, which itself has been dissolved, ending
71 years of rule. Wall Street reacting with lows during coup, and sharp rise after. I think that wherever I live I will have
just a fallout shelter plan until things get bad again. I will have emergency supplies, however. Various republics, Moldavia
and the Baltics, have been proclaiming independence and toppling statues of Lenin. The Soviet Union is breaking up just as
that smart Libertarian, Doug Casey, said it would ten years ago.
Aug 25 Contemplate three separate mailing pieces
written mainly by selectively excerpting appropriate writings: one each for politicians, theologians, musicians. And later
the Holocaust piece to Littleton. In the meantime the Hassidim will be migrating up from New York to escape blacks. We won't
hurt them up here, but will confront them with their lies, greed, and bigotry.

coffee.

Goldberg. Aft. Am plunged again into world of Ars Metallica. Talk to Ray Lizotte.
Sep 1 On CNN, see Andre Mareau who was nominated
by Libertarian Party last night. The convention was interesting because of the sarcasm against statu- quo parasites. Andrea

him as crazy. "Duh, how can we get the money without taxes?"
Sep 2 Cousin George recognizes the Baltics.
Sep 3 Communist Party officially dissolved
in Russia. Soviet Union will now be Union of Sovereign States.
Sep 4 New studies shows homos have smaller
cells in hypothalamus. No mention of data for lesbians.
Sep 5 Finish reading Last Train Out

their mother's ashes in the Lyndonville Cemetery, because she used to live in my house. They now reside in "the beautiful
Northwest".

curious chap I am only "auctioneer's helper". Tour Charley Lang through house. This event sees many of the town trash brushing
elbows with the real estate aristocracy, all decked out in their Sunday finery. Bums smoking cigars in the Dining Room. Auction
