Ocklawaha's Farewell...

[Ocklawaha]

As I leave for parts in the perilious West,
Land of Puma's and Rattlesnakes, cacti
and airid plains.
Good people of Jacksonville, this is positively the
finest exhibition ever to be shown --
-- yes -- well -- there is a family emergency and -- be that as it may -- I,
your Transit Wizard par ardua ad ferro, am about to
embark upon a hazardous and technically
unexplainable journey into Grandfatherhood and otherwise -- Well yes
the outer
Lightrailosphere. In Dallas, New Orleans, Memphis and
Montgomery...etc...etc...


To confer, converse, and otherwise hob-nob
with my brother Transit wizards. And I hereby
decree that until what time -- if any --
that I return, the Lakelander and Riveree, by virtue of
their highly superior brains, shall rule in
my stead...assisted by the Cheshire Cat, by
virtue of her magnificent heart...and Glorious
Johnson -- by virtue of her courage! Cheer them
as you would me! And - ah - well, that's all.


Your Transit Wizard Deluxe
Ocklawaha
