CaliforniaPeggy has been busy...
...my copy of her NEW book arrived yesterday from Amazon!



It's even better than the first, but some of you may be shocked that she's upped the F-bomb quotient in this one. Even so, it's a rich, image-filled journey through hobos hopping freight trains ("Slow The Fuck Down So I Can Hop On Blues") and hobos warming themselves over steel-drum fires in railroad yards ("Fuck, It's COLD Out Here").

2. That is an interesting comment.
Most don't know that horses are used as a symbol for angels, since for many years they were the servants of men.

Also interestingly there is a group that thinks in concepts of 'the knights' were the only people on horse back, or terms of jousting and concepts like that, where having a horse in battle was devastating for an opponent, and advantages to the person working with a horse.

So that phrase is interesting.



The question should be looking at the actions of the horse, is it of free will or by coercive control where it should be freed. It could be that knocking the person off the horse is enough, since the horse don't like many of them that use coercion either.

But a fascinating topic on many things.

8. She warms up the crowd with readings from famous poets
Here's a transcript of one of her recent public appearances.

Good evening, my dear readers. I am California Peggy and I would now like to read "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Fucking Evening" by Robert Fucking Frost.

Whose fucking WOODS these are I think I know.
His fucking HOUSE is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with fucking SNOW.

My little fucking HORSE must think it queer
To stop without a fucking FARMHOUSE near
Between the woods and frozen fucking LAKE
The DARKEST fucking evening of the fucking YEAR.

He gives his harness bells a fucking SHAKE
To ask if there is some fucking MISTAKE.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy fucking FLAKE.

The woods are lovely, dark and fucking DEEP.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And fucking MILES to go before I sleep.

10. Nice!
Howdy,
Love, love, love the title of her other book. I was shocked, shocked I tell you, the first time I saw an f-bomb from the demure California Peggy.

Peace
