 87 I've already determined that this year will be wonderful! I asked
 88 my mom to look in her crystal ball and tell me, so there you have it,
 89 from the mouth of a real gypsy.  As for the story, I left for a litt;le
 90 bit to regain my sense on whether I really wanted to do this, so I have no clue
 91 as to what is going on.  I decided to stay, and as I entered a strange and
 92 unusual place that I had never been before, I found several people dead drunk. 
 93 a quick glance in my crystal ball, I determined that they had been that way for
 94 time.  "Quite disgusting!" I muttered anmd sat down to wait for them to revive.

119 I faded back into the space that was the table occupied by my companions.
120 The Astral trip had been a short one but had been fruitfull. Perhaps someday
121 I would have the story of the vieled one, the pieces continued to fall 
122 together.
123  
124 I pulled a deck of cards from my pocket and laid them out of the table.
125  
126 While I waited for the rest of our group to finish assembling I shuffled the
127 cards and put them out one by one. It was not the future that I wished to

159 No need I hope. I will now continue my story. (BTW, if you guys don't start
160 posting I'm going to break off and do my own story.)
161  
162 The cards were not cooperating. Some things Were more easily found then Others
163 though and I continued in my quest. The Somnulence around the table was
164 lessaning but Was still quete oppresive. Soon perhaps There would be action.
165  
166 After shuffling and dealing out the cards several more times I was forced
167 to admit that atleast for now the way was blocked. For some reason this 
168 portion of the past was hidden from me. I knew that this particuler time
169 was very important. It was intagral to the appearance of the vieled one.
170  
171 Sighing I contemplated the strange sky above. I had traveled to many different
172 places, but this one was strangly different.
173  
174 I am myself as are many of my companions forward traveling ninth order beings.
175 (Some are 10th order, But I will leave it to you to decide which.)
176  
177 The Multiverse you see is made up of atleast 9 dimensions and posibly more.
178 The first three are of course height width and depth. The fourth is 
179 forward/backward time travel. (I and most may only travel forward along
180 this line.)
181  
182 The 5th is made up of alternate time lines. Remember that cup you broke at
183 some time in the past? Well, somewere out there is a line were you didn't.
184  
185 The sixth is made up of totaly different time lines that have the same
186 physical laws as the one we live in.
187  
188 The seventh,eighth and ninth are very strange indeed and are the physical
189 'space' in which universes with laws different from minorly to absolutly
190 from those of our own.
191  
192 There is of course a paradox or two here. As you might realize there are 
193 potentioly millions of me running around. But only one fixed point persona
194 (any one of me that exist in the Multi-verse) can become a forward traveling
195 ninth order being. When one becomes a ninth order being new laws begin
196 to operate which prevent ones duplication. How this is done is beyond 
197 even those of the 10th order.
198  
199 If and when I progress to the 10th order that will allow another of my fixed
200 point persona to attain the 9th order.
201  
202 But time grow short, Let the adevture beg!

255  
256 On the way back I waited 1 hour in the rain for the return bus. It drove
257 by me. So I decided I'd walk a ways down the road. Stoped at a cross 
258 walk. Waited for the light to change. Got 3/4th of the way across heard
259 something to my side. Looked just in time to see a truck smack into me
260 aaround 18 -20 miles an hour. I guess I got lucky. Several bruises, a
261 sprained left thumb and a brocken front touth. All this hapened about
262 five hours ago. I'm glad the guy stoped. He didn't have to. Especially

288 Sue Trimet? Tempting, But I suspect it would be a wee bit difficult to prove.
289 I can tell you they are not my favorite people. Some of the drivers are nice,
290 but most of them don't seem to give a damn. That and their schedules are
291 worthless.
292  
293 Might not lose the tooth. Hope so anyway, Had it for a long time. No next
294 week for sure.
295  
296 Well, on to the story.
297  
298 Kurfer called for a game of 7 card. I had to smile a bit at this. I was not
299 sure that he would enjoy (Whoops Kurfur, Sorry!) what the cards would show
300 him. Instead a quickly put that deck away and pulled another from my 
301 pocket.
302  
303 "Would you like to check the cards?" I asked him. He gave me a look that
304 indicated He'd know if I cheated. The look also told volumes about what
305 any good berserker does to a man who cheats.
306  
307 "Well then, I'll shuffle and you cut" I shuffled the cards quickly and
308 efficiantly and Kurfur cut them (No, not with a sword.)
309  
310 "Alright, 7 card stud. Aces of course are high." I said dealing the cards 
311 out one by one.
312  
313 I picked my cards up slowly and looked at them. Not very promising I thought.
314 Suddenly to my side there was a noise. I looked there and was suprised to
315 see a large scally green dragon had appeared. "Aurthur!" I exclaimed. "Good
316 to see you!" Kurfur wasn't taking this to well. "Ale, I see Ale. I think it's
317 the legendary ale beast. Just went over that ridge!" I said pointing behind
318 the disgruntled berserker. (Berserkers are not stupid, But they do have
319 there weakneses.)
320  
321 Kurfer took off immediatly chaising after the mythical beast.
322  
323 I turned to Aurthur. "To late to deal me in?" he asked. Did you really come
324 to play cards? I replied.
325  
326 "Well no, actually I was hoping you'd found a solution to my 'proble,'".
327  
328 "No, I'm affraid not. You really shouldn't sneak up on people that way you
329 know." I told him.
330  
331 "Oh, I suppose you may be right, But I have to do something to eliminate
332 stereotypes. Now if I were to announce my presence everywere I go How
333 would we ever eliminate this foolish fear of dragons?
334  
335 "Fine, But one of these days You're going to be in a good deal of trouble."
336  
337 "Cut the debate and deal, I feel lucky!" he replied.

391 We arn't getting any support from all of our allied nations on this libian jet

470 being rather impulsive (As Berserkers are prone to be.) You would attack

577 I looked across the table at Aurthor. Unfortunetly the dragon had what could 
578 conservativly be called a poker face. "Ok, I'll see your five and raise you 
579 five." I said noting the the three aces in my hand.
580  
581 "Find," he replied. "I'll meet your five and call. What have you got? 
582  
583 "Three of a kind, I've got you this time!"
584  
585 "Ah Know you don't!" he replied laying down three kings, two jacks and 
586 discarded the remaining two cards to the side.
587  
588 "Ok,That puts you up by 3 games. I think I'll have to call it quits for now."
589  
590 "Fine. You know I really wonder what happened to the Berserker fellow. Was 
591 that Ale beast story you told him a lie?"
592  
593 "Come now Aurthur, You know I never Lie."
594  
595 "Yeah, Right." he replied sarcasticly. "Didn't you say you were doomed two 
596 hands back and then pull out a royal flush to beat my two pair?"
597  
598 "Well, so perhaps I do stretch the truth occasionally."
599  
600 "So was there and Ale beast or not?"
601  
602 "Thats up to Kurfur, He's a Berserker after all. You know anything is possible 
603 for one of his kind."
604  
605 "I suppose. Well now This brings me down to the reason I came here."
606  
607 "And that is?" 
608  
609 "Well, it seems I've been evicted for oweing back taxes."
610  
611 "they evicted a dragon?" I asked a bit incredulouse.
612  
613 "Well, You know I have such a good disposition. Besides, It didn't seem very 
614 prudent to toast the kings men. Do wish they'd have mentioned this taxes thing
615 earlier though."
616  
617 "Well, I'll see what I can do. The usual fee of course applies."

673 SEASIDE is a great place. It sounds like a fun place to live. I've been there
674 many times. I have a friend who has a beach house in GEARHART. One time we
675 wanted to go into SEASIDE soooo badly to mess around, but his mom would not
676 take us, so WE WALKED!!!!!!! It took about 2 hours. Then, when we were on out
677 (whoops!) --our way back, we took a short cut through a river, I fell in, and
678 we stopped at that pizza place that looks like a castle on the way back. The
679 guy at the counter asked us what we had been doing (he thought we were weird
680 or something), because here we were with sand in our hair and I was soaking wet
681 !!!!! And we told him that we went swimming in the river next to his 
682 restaurant. He looked at us and said "Oh." It was a riot. When we left, the
683 seats were soaking and sand was all over the place. I bet they had fun
684 cleaning it up. OH, WELL, so much for SEASIDE!!!!    See ya!!

763 Actual, Astral Dreamer, I didn't know that I had them until a little while
764 ago. I have never used any of them or tried to use any of them. One of my
765 sister's older friends (about 19) years old was getting ready to go to college
766 and sold his computer. My sister told him once about how I liked computers,
767 and he gave her the disks he had to give to me. I just got around to looking
768 at them a month or so ago, and I found out what they were from reading the
769 files on the disks which explained the content of the disk. I guess that guy
770 was really into computer hacking, etc!!! There is some major stuff on there.
771 By the way, I am operating off an Apple IIe, and that is what those disks
772 run on (or IIc, II+, II, etc.), and if you are operating off one of those
773 computers, then you can have the disks from me if you want to try out some
774 of the stuff on them, you probably know more than I do about that stuff!!
775 Well, just let me know. I'll be right here.

780 People come and go here. Kind'of a tradition. They'll return. I'm really not 
781 that deeply into hqcking. I have some friends who were when they were younger.
782 Although it can be enjoyable.(everybody likes a challenge occasionally) There 
783 can be a downside. I know somebody who had a friend who came with in inches of
784 being caught by the FBI> He0pulled the plug just in time.

794 Those disks seem to be pretty dangerous! Well, I'll either keep them stored
795 away0in }i files of hundreds of disks or give them to some unlucky computer
796 novice who doesn't know the first thing about trouble generated through the
797 use of a modem.
798 I have always liked the Amiga 500 computer. I wanted one really badly a long
'99 dime ago. The graphics, sound (especially) qualities were/are great! I have
800 the Apple ][e, and I have an IBM PC/XT too. Maybe I'll get an Amiga someday.
801 Possibly a newer version (1000?). I like making movies, as a matter of fact,
802 I want to bu a movie director when I get into college (USC-definitely), and
803 I have a friend who has an Amiga 500 and we ran some of my home movies through
804 and did some incredible graphics and stuff similar to that.
805 A couple questions of interest. I0don7t expect you to answer them if you
806 don't want. How old are you? In college, if so which one? What city do you
807 live in? Tell me some more about yourself and I'll do the same next time.
808 Also, is Kurfur Redlig that guy's real name?
809 Or is0it a character from a game, movie, etc.???

835 in history, though my heart is in computers. (Can't hack the mqdh.9

837 Maybe in a year or two I'll get my diploma. Don't know for sure, I've been 
838 having Financial Aid problems and am thinking that this might be my last term
839 for awhile.
840  
841 I urned to much money last year and because of the0ctupid way they work out 
842 wether or not you are a dependent I could not be independent. Thus I got screwe
843 d out of 1/3 of my Aid. And it got here a term late. I'm still in debt up to
844 my ears. Then I get hit by a truck. This is the closest thyng Y've been
845 to depressed in a long time. (earned, not urned :-))
846  
847 The 2500 is the latest Amiga. It is 5 times faster then my machine, has 3 times
848 as much memory, comes with a fast hard disk and (I think) has the new improved
849 graphics chips. Of course it costs around 4000$
