When I think of golden brown, so many images come to mind...

Listen...

I LOVE Golden Brown.

White is OK, yet it is my personal preference that I prefer brown.

This is ABSOLUTELY true.

I LOVE brown skin.

Especially on women.

Some prefer red roses, but I do not.

I prefer violets.

But my favorite color is Creeping Phlox, or Grandpa Morning Glory.

Golden Brown Women are so very BEAUTIFUL!

Yet, if you were to ask a Golden Brown woman to live in the desert, then most of them would worry about the sun.  They might be worried about going from Golden Brown to Dark Brown, and even becoming like Swiss Chocolate, which would still be OK with me.

I don't care when women turn darker shades of brown due to the desert sun.  In fact, honestly speaking, I just love brown women, no matter how brown they might become.

One of my favorite songs is this one by the Stranglers singing about Golden Brown.

Golden Brown Women is the shade I have dreamed about my entire life, like brown sugar.

Some women prefer lighter skin, but I don't know why.

The browner the woman, the deeper my love, it seems.

I want to share this song with you.

This song, I believe, is a tribute to all the brown women I dreamed about in my childhood.

And so,

As you might have expected,

My next question for myself and for you, is...

Where do I place an ad in order to find my Indonesian Pygmalion who will willingly accompany me on my sojourn into the desert of America?

Or, even, how do I meet my Thai woman counterpart who might enthuse about spending a decade under the stars, far from civilization, with nothing more than rocks and sand to keep her company?

Surely, in Thailand, with a population of 63 million, at least half of them might qualify.....  Right?

You are looking for a fair lady? Stay away from MY Fair Lady mister Higgings.

Although I now already have my Doolittle,

Yet, she would never travel into the desert with me.

I need another fairer lady than she.

One more adventurous.

One who loves the sun.

One who is not afraid to be scorched by the sun.

And one who enjoys being brown.

Do you know why I would never invite a Chinese girl to live in the Nevada or Arizona desert with me?

I have lived with Chinese girls in New York City, Pennsylvania, Taipei, Hong Kong, and other similar places.

Chinese girls are never satisfied, and they rarely smile.

They are too worried about living up to family expectations, for generations to come.

But Indonesian girls, if they like you, and Thai women, if they like you, are willing to cleave to you far more than the Chinese women I have known.

Knowing what I now know, I would never have had a Chinese GF, what a waste of my life.

So, if you really want a great woman who loves you enough to live the rest of her life with you in the desert, then I guess an Indonesian woman would be the first choice.

But, if you want to live in some desert in NYC, the both Thai and Indonesian women would suffice.

Most importantly......

Of utmost importance.....

I plan to choose either a Thai woman or an Indonesian woman who speaks no English.

I don't expect to live more than another 10 years, or so.

And, during the first seven years in the desert, I will teach my bride to speak perfect English.

I will spend my time in the desert teaching her to speak impeccable English.

We, all of us, should choose a hobby during our waning years which might prolong our days.

In my view, teaching some farm girl, from Indonesia, English up to Oxford or Cambridge undergraduate level will give me something to do, something which I might find more satisfying than just stuffing my face with drunken crumpets, in Thailand, one after the other.

And so, life in the desert might be far better for me.

Well, this is how I envision it....

Just me an her, and the cactus, hand in hand, never expecting rain, yet dazed by the glory of the sun.

Such beauty,

Each of us communing with God in our own way.

Honestly speaking:

In past years, I have met some fantastic women from Indonesia and Thailand.

These women were farm girls.

They normally exhibited a very happy disposition, in almost all cases.

They seemed to believe that putting on a happy face was their responsibility, no matter what.

And so, if I am to retreat into the Arizona or Nevada desert, then I would surely be blessed if I were to have one of these farm girls by my side.

Also, they were modest.

I prefer modest women.

I am not comfortable around women with short shorts or tiny black mini miniskirts that ride up until you can see everything.

This is why I say that I am NOT joking.

What I am saying is that....

America is a great country, a wide open space.

There is room for everyone.

And, if I can find either an Indonesian woman or a Thai woman willing to live in the desert with me, then I will definitely give this a try.

There is nothing to lose.

And, there is much to gain.

Maybe I will finally find the love I have always yearned for.

The older I become, the less I seem to care about what once seemed most important.

Being in Arizona with a nice female friend who is not a shrew, seems like heaven to me now.

I have lowered me expectations, maybe.

Still, I am young enough to find great happiness with an old bag of bones, as long as she is truly female.

After a year or two, we stop caring about what our partner "looks like", and we begin caring more about how kind she might be.

This is so true.

Also, does she have a good sense of humor....this is most important to me.

I asked my very clever friends Google and Duckduckgo for an explanation of your cryptic post, but they could not realy help me, they mentioned a policeman, a barbarian, and Trump's favourite dog....??

What a man of mystery you are !

You should not ask your unclever friends Google.

Instead, you should ask Sherlock Holmes and also, maybe, Volvo.

Years ago, I did apply for a green card, and it was a piece of cake.

That was back in 1975.

That was back when the US gov just asked if you were in love.

These days, the green-card process is too cumbersome for me.

Maybe it might be better to just have your GF come to America in a 40-foot shipping container?

can we say green card.

Unlike many years ago, the "green card" is not so easy to come by.

Maybe it would be best to smuggle the woman into the USA?

i have no good connections.

You're joking of course. 

No.

Actually, I am not joking.

1. I am at a point in my life where I am seeking a new experience, in fact my last experience.

2. I have always loved the dryness of the desert with its low humidity, cold nights and hot days.

3. I am not sure what I might do there in the desert, but due to the lockdown I am not sure what I am doing here. Every day is the same. I wake up. I eat. I do my work. And then I sleep.

3b. I am becoming a hermit.

4. In the desert of Arizona, I would be able to roam free with the prairie dogs, and maybe even be able to shoot a few of them with my .30-06 Springfield.  That would put some food on the table, for sure.

5. There is great beauty in the desert, especially the nights.

6. I would still need adequate internet connection, and I think that in the desert this might be a challenge. Maybe there is a solution for this.

7. I am too old for Wyoming winters, and so Arizona might be less stressful for me.

8. I love women. And, if I found the right one, then this lifestyle might become my paradise, sort of the final best ending to my life.

9. I could blast loud music as much as I like, and no one would complain, especially if I found a deaf girl from Indonesia.

I am NOT joking, this time.

I have already found a good place in the desert, someplace in Arizona, and now I am thinking about dessert.

What kind of woman would be better for living in the desert, sort of apart from mainstream society?

In my opinion, and from my experience, Indonesian women are very kind. Yet, I prefer Thai women because they are more exciting and beautiful.

I cannot take two, and can only take one to Arizona.

Being in Thailand, Thai women are more readily available to me. I have a friend in Indonesia who might be able to introduce me to an Indonesian woman, but the extra logistics would be a downside.

Still, Indonesian women are more even tempered and better for the desert, I think.

So what might the advantages be of women from either Thailand or Indonesia, speaking of qualities of either specifically suitable to desert life in Arizona?

I might need to live on a budget, as well.

And so, which nationality might be more likely to favor this type of hardship living situation?

Just wondering, but not wondering idly, since I am already making plans for when the international airline situation begins opening up.

I love hot weather, and Arizona will not be too hot for me, maybe.

Mister Barleycorn, are you related to that poster that enquired about a Neil Young fanclub in Northern Thailand ? Or perhaps one and the same ?

 

 

I can only admit to a deep appreciation of Neil Young music.

Also, I have never joined a club in my life.

Clubs remind me too much of the Club of Four, or I mean the Sign of Four, or the Red Headed League.

Maluma or Luis Fonsi are much better musical artists.

 

Yet, neither are from Scotland, you must agree.

Please don't include me .........

I have done nothing to harm anyone, I have done nothing to harm the planet or the environment.

Nor has anyone in charge asked my opinion on anything, I have no say, no influence and therefor accept no responsibility.

 

If I were asked, I would say that I don't believe out of date 70s rock music has anything to contribute to the world and when the white boomers are dead it will be forgotten.

It is highly unlikely that there will be anyone around who can either remember or forget anything, soon, just judging by ongoing world events.

And so, if civilization soon ends here, then JACK BRUCE will be both the pinnacle as well as the final culmination of human culture.

And if this proves to be so, then I will rest easy, except...

I just think it unfortunate that the music of Jack Bruce was not sent out into space on the Golden Record aboard the spaceship Voyager.

Because, the music of Jack Bruce should be shared among other intelligence in this great universe.

Here is Mr Wang.

He made dynamite keyboards.

I loved Mr. Wang.

Your keyboard is the biggest health hazard in your life.  If you don't clean it then you could contract something deadly and might not live long enough to look like a freak.  And you've got a Windows key missing.  

This is the GREATEST keyboard of all time.

This is the WANG keyboard.

Years ago, I used this WANG keyboard when An Wang was trying to compete with IBM.

Unfortunately, An Wang lost the battle, but his keyboard is the best.

Wang is the best!

By the way:

Few men today can write such beautiful sentences and paragraphs as can Philip Roth.  Roth is a genius in this.

So, if you want help in how to react to our present pandemic, then this is the book for you.

NEMESIS

This book is freely available on the interent.

This is sort of a long short story or a short novel, not even a novella, which you should read if you want to know how to feel about our present pandemic.

I read this book just before the Wuhan Virus struck us.

Philip Roth wrote about uncomfortable topics.

He deserved the Nobel, but he did not get the Nobel.  WHY?

So, anyway, why have you not yet read his last great work, NEMESIS?

Philip Roth was an amazing author, as I know you know.

But, you might not have read his last book, his 32nd book, which is unfortunate because this final book has something to say about our times, during our most recent pandemic.

No doubt you will appreciate it.

This book should appeal to old guys with saggy jowls and saggy sacks, those who recall these times.

You can easily find this book on the internet.

I am sure that you will enjoy it immensely.

FROM THE GUARDIAN:

Before we get into this I should probably say that it's my belief that Philip Roth, now 77, can write whatever the hell he likes. After more than 50 years working at the highest level, after having produced at least three enduring masterworks of prose fiction, after having vigorously, unflinchingly, brilliantly and beautifully wrestled with the notions of nationhood, religion, love, death, belief, despair, destiny and the fundamental nature of human experience, I consider that he is entitled, if he so wishes, to bind and release his fridge magnets one letter at a time.

Has it? I had you as a somewhat an intelligent fellow, too. Oh, and avoid posting while inebriated. 

Maybe you had me mixed up in your mind with John Cheever.

Cheever was intelligent.

Cheever wrote while inebriated, most of his life.

It was only toward the end of his drunken life that he finally wrote sober.

Perhaps a bit morbid ?

 

 

No.

Not morbid in any way.

Just a beautiful ballad.

Don't you think?

Unfortunately, there seems to no longer be any consensus of what is Right or Wrong.

When there is no distinction between Wrong and Right, then anything goes.

And then, you end up with what we are now seeing in some countries.

Maybe this is called anarchy.

Not doing the wrong thing is incredibly difficult.

Have you ever tried to not do the wrong thing?
