Alden Loveshade Injured in Collision with Deacon
This from our most recent Ek-sen-trik Discordian Snooze Letter:
When I, Reverend Loveshade, recieved the vision to put together Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia: The Tales of Shamlicht on Mid Years Day, 2 July 2005, I was told it would take 5 years and 37 days, more or less. I didn't realize until very recently that 8 August 2010 was the 65th anniversary of the end of the war between Amierica and Japan in 1945....Nor did I know what would happen on that date.
Alden Loveshade tries as much as possible to stay out of our Snooze Letters, but we had to report this. On Sunday morning, 8 August, Alden was driving through Janus County, Texas (the county is real; the name isn't). Some of you may know many of our troubles happened in that very county. A truck that was at the side of the road suddenly started to make a U turn immediately in front of Alden. Our family member tried to avoid the truck, but as e said, "failed." Alden's vehicle was totalled, and e received bruises and such and a broken right finger. The deacon who was driving the other vehicle refused treatment (after a medic got the details from em).
Here's where it gets really weird and yes, this is true. Alden was driving to meet a woman who was doing art for Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia: The Tales of Shamlicht. This woman had a dream the night before of Alden in a traffic collision. Collecting art for Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia: The Tales of Shamlicht on the scheduled date for completing the book in Janus County Texas and being hit by a deacon of a conservative Christian church while meeting an artist who just had a dream Alden would be in an accident. Weird.
We wish Alden well.

Remember Australia, which used to be such a cool place to visit and live? Well, censors and social prudes are continuing to wage their glorious battle to make the country sterile and oppressed for visitors and natives alike.
