And Tina hasn't seen a pix of Duane-slash - John C Collins as in the Jefferson shot because of what, exactly, Mrs. Cooper? 1. Tina lived too far from The Dalles and Sandy Beach to drive over and let her see a copy? 2. Sending an envelope of the picture to Jane and Lee to deliver to Tina is too iffy, because they "want no part of it?" 3. Asking your daughter to drive a copy up to South Carolina so Flo could see it is too much to ask of all concerned? 4. It's only been 17 years, so what's the rush. 5. You could ask Cousin Brucie to deliver a copy to Tina and Flo, but then you'd have to be nice to him for a week or so. 6. You could mail Tina a copy, but then what would happen if she said Duane didn't look sad enough? 7. Tina and Flo are probably in cahoots with Billy Mitchell, who says Coop ain't Duane, so it's not worth the effort. 8. Billy would have said anything to get Cousin Brucie to buy him a beer. 9. Billy Didn't say anything at all and Cousin Brucie made the whole story up! 10. If one eye witness says that Duane Weber is definitely NOT DB Cooper, then the past 17 years and these two million words is a bit of a waste, so why take a chance.....

We saved Andy's life. You, not so much.

Bobby, I'd be more concerned about the billion or so Muslims that live in Indonesia, Pakistan, and France, than the few who live in the regions of Arabia. Oh, wait, the habibs only wear hajibs in Arabia! My bad. At least I didn't call it a schmata, right Georger!

Just trying to be friendly, like you. Maybe Jo and that Cossey thingy had got me gangsta's up, ya know what I'm sayin'?

Okay, still trying to find out the connection between Loki and my sex life. Google first, then Wikipedia: [words spoken to you can be described in one simple word "waste" ... so all I can say is keep trying ] Thousand Thingy, I don't always get what you are trying to tell me. Perhaps there are too many things on your mind - "A Thousand Things On My Mind." If so, we can help you with that. Control of the mind is essential. For instance, I basically think of only two things - DB Cooper and sex. Occasionally I think about the Seahawks, so that makes three. That is one of the reasons I am able write so cogently here at the DropZone - no clutter! Now, obviously Jo has a few extra things on her mind, like her health. For me, if you have read my many postings on my recovery from a heart attack, I didn't think about it too much and basically left that up to other people - mostly taxpayers and my local paramedics. A few doctors got involved too, but I didn't chat with them too much that I remember. So, perhaps it might help if you wrote down what you think about. We can help you discard the extraneous. Now, I sense that you are a bit resistant, as you say that sharing anything with me is a waste but I assure you, we learn from all things.

Yo, A-K Thingy, I don't get it. Who is Loki, and what does he/she have to do with my sex life? BTW: I'm not into habibs, you know, the Islamic scarf thingy that Muslim women wear. Okay, still trying to find out the connection between Loki and my sex life. Google first, then Wikipedia: "Loki is a fictional character, a supervillain and sometime anti-hero that appears in comic books by Marvel Comics. He is the adoptive brother and archenemy of Thor. He is based on the being of the same name from Norse mythology. The character first appeared historically in Venus No. 6 (August 1949) and in modern day in Journey into Mystery No. 85 (October 1962). The character was created by writer Stan Lee, scripter Larry Lieber, and penciller Jack Kirby. "Loki has appeared in several ongoing series, limited series and alternate reality series, including his own 4-issue series Loki (2004). He appeared in the new issues of Young Avengers in 2013. He will appear in his solo series Loki: Agent of Asgard in 2014. The character has also appeared in associated Marvel merchandise including animated television series, clothing, toys, video games, and movies. "In 2009, Loki was ranked as IGN's 8th Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time.[1] "Tom Hiddleston first portrayed Loki in the 2011 live action film Thor, and then again in The Avengers (2012) and in Thor: The Dark World (2013); he is slated to reprise his role in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) and in Thor: Ragnarok (2017)." So, A-K Thingy, I don't see a connection between your cartoon and the Loki of Asgaard as described above.

Yo, A-K Thingy, I don't get it. Who is Loki, and what does he/she have to do with my sex life? BTW: I'm not into habibs, you know, the Islamic scarf thingy that Muslim women wear.

"...1. Wacked is a horrible word...." -Okay, so what word would you use to describe striking someone in the head with such force that they cease to live? "...2. Your weight or size has no bearing on what I think...." -Sure you do Mrs. Cooper. That is an outright LIE!!!! "...3. The use of the F word is uncalled for & your explaination for the use of the word is deplorable...." -The word fuck is tough to see in print, but there is really no substitute, especially when quoting someone, and Cossey did say "Fuck you" to me over the phone. "...4. You are not nice - that is correct..." -So my perception of how you perceive me is correct. Yeh me! "...5. Your interviews are interrogations. All except the one done on Norman. He does not come to the DZ so we do not know if what you discussed with him is factual...." -So how factual do you think it is? 50%, 90%, 99.9% "...6. Is that an admission of guilt or are you being obtuse again?..." -You tell me. "...7. I do believe you have a personality disorder that gets you in trouble...." -Pot calling the kettle black? "...8. Are you making a confession or just smarting off....otherwise why make such a statement?..." -Smarting off, I guess. "...9. So are you admitting that when you do not get your way with people that you react inappropriately?..." - How would you suggest I react when fed constant streams of bullshit? "...10. His mother came to you in a dream instructing you to harm her son! Now we all can agree you need some help & to lay off of whatever you are taking - prescribed or over the counter legal drugs in WA..." -What kinds of justice would you like to see Mrs. Cossey receive?

I would say that we deserve each other here, too! Brethren! Sisters! Can I get an AMEN?

Top Ten Reasons Jo Weber thinks Cousin Brucie Whacked Coss 1. Because Da Cuz uses the word "whacked" so much. 2. Cuz is a lot fatter than Coss, and they started wrasslin' and... 3. Coss told Da Cuz to go "Fuck" himself. Then hung up on the phone. The word "fuck" just makes Cuz go crazy because of all of his sexual hang-ups. 4. Da Cuz just ain't nice. 5. Da Cuz doesn't follow interview protocols as outlined by Sir Bobby. One thing led to another, and...it really was just a terrible misunderstanding. 6. Cuz found an extra $20 under his pillow and decided to go for a drive. Stopped at Coss' to ask for directions because none of the streets were through-streets and Cuz had a PTSD Road Rage episode. (PTSD-RR). 7. Plus, Coss told Cuz that he had never read the Mountain News. Then the PTSD-RR really kicked in. 8. AND, Coss told Cuz that he was the worst journalist he had ever talked to. Then the PTSD-RR super kicked in. 9. Coss started talking about NB-6s again, no-pulls, and sleeve-less designs and Cuz just couldn't take it anymore. 10. Earl Cossey's mother came to the Da Cuz in a dream and told him to do it.

The race is on! You gonna wait until two weeks before the anniversary date? That would be the end of March. That's two months out, Bobby....

Whaddaya think?

Hmmm. Maybe I should ask Sgt DB if he's investigating why you persist so fervently in white-washing Cossey's reputation. After all, Coss impeded a federal investigation.

Here's my ten for Sgt DB Gates: 1. Jo Weber says I should be investigated concerning the Cossey whacking. Whaddaya think? 2. Wayland Cossey got pissed off at me when I told him I had information about his father that might explain why he was whacked. Wayland then asked the cops to escort me off his property. Do you think that was a smart move? 3. Wayland Cossey then asked the public for help in finding the guy who whacked his father. I called and sent a snail mail letter offering my services but he has not replied. Whaddaya think? 4. Somebody sent Coss' credit card and stuff back to his house via snail mail. Have you guys sent the stuff to NCIS-Hollywood yet to search for DNA traces and fingerprints? When I asked Sgt King if she'd gotten that evidence off the cards yet, she said she didn't know if her forensic labs could do that. Whaddaya think? 5. I contacted Sgt Joe Kenda's production company in Colorado to see if they would like to consult on the Cossey whacking. So far, I haven't heard back. So, are you guys gonna call Joe? 6. Folks these days only describe Coss as the rigger of DB Cooper's chutes and not the owner, nor his being the FBI's technical expert on the chutes. Who's idea was that? KCSO? 7. Do you know if Sgt Cindi King is married? Do you know if she saw me on TV? 8. Did you see me on TV? 9. Coss' gambling buddies say that the KCSO hasn't done jack on the gambling angle, even though one of them said Coss may have been carrying 25 Large. Wass up with dat? 10. Ralph Hatley says Coss got his start in the real estate business by "embezzling" a bunch of houses from his mother that he renovated. In terms of Karma, how would you rate this? Worthy of a whack?

It appears that Mrs Cooper has made a complete recovery, emotionally. And writing with two hands, I believe! I know I am.

I was only on site for a few hours. But during that time I got interviewed by two different TV crews. Did you see me?

You mean continue my interviews and investigation with the authorities at the KCSO? As for Woodinville, it is my understanding that they do not have a homicide investigation unit, and use the KCSO. Good idea. I've been meaning to call DB Gates for the past few weeks. But I've been busy editing my ms.

My offer to share Jo's phone number is hereby rescinded. She clearly is in a better place emotionally.

Jo is clearly frightened. If you would like to call her, as she indicates above, I have her phone number. Email me to request it. Bruce Smith (one word) at rainier connect (one word) dot com.

Jo, I've always thought that my sex life is both historical and trivial. So, this seems like the perfect place to chat about it. Besides, this is the forum where I learned that a bunch of New Zealand women went skydiving naked with 377. BTW I: Are we back to using two hands to type? BTW II: Are you going to copyright your postings in 2015? Just askin'.

It has come to my attention that there is simmering disquiet on who found Tina, when, and how. Here is what I know: 1. Jo found Tina first. Don't know how, although she says Robbie Clampett, a high gov't official, helped her. 2. Galen and I scratched our heads for months trying to figure how to find Tina. 3. Jo dropped hints with me on the phone. First she told me that Tina worked in social services in Oregon, and then she told me that Tina was living in northern Oregon. 4. I told Galen all of that. He told me that he was also looking for Tina's husband. Galen says that he's had some uneven exchanges with Jo, ie: late night phone calls, etc. and eventually cuts her off. 5. Then Galen called me and said that he had found Tina, but he declined to tell me where she was. 6. Re-viewing everything I had heard, I back-tracked to the convent, started Googling phone numbers for northern Oregon, and eventually worked my way back to the central Oregon area around the monastery. Then, bingo. 7. I called Galen and he confirmed. We then strategized on how best to approach her. We agreed to tread delicately and see what we could develop with friends and family, enlisting support along the way. 8. Jo started telling us that she had been in contact with Tina since 2000-something, and had gotten a phone call from TM. 9. Geoffrey enters the picture and makes a nuisance of himself with Galen apparently, looking for Tina. Somehow, GG finds her and calls, as per his book. Dat's what I know.

I prefer "attention slut." But remember, I was asked to list my sex life as a means to solving Norjak. Don't you think that is interesting? Even Nimi Wrecks is amazed. See above, way above.

Well, you're responding. That's enough for me. Besides, how can you speak for EVERYONE? I might have hundreds of secret admirers out there. The stats column says that my sex-life list has already had over 170 viewers this evening. Plus, the last time I came back from New York I had 2,800 emails and 60 of them were from women looking for a date. Yes, I suppose my cookies went somewhere sexy and some server picked them up, but most of those girls were pretty cute, too. Do you mean to say that if some poster asked Twisty Butt for a list of men she slept with and claimed it was gonna help break Norjak, you wouldn't want to read her posts??? Really. Speaking of which, I just saw the Frontline documentary on "Secrets of the Vatican." Now, those guys are Over-Sexed in extremis. Can you imagine bringing your vestments and eucharist to a sex orgy and then saying mass for everyone afterwards? Yikes! Yes, it is Italy for Gawd's sake, but serving communion to a bunch of gooey, well, never mind....

Bobby! Whaddaya talking about? You don't care about my sex life? Is this gender discrimination? I remember that we were all Ga-Ga over Marla talking about her five husbands and the kid who was born outta wedlock. Worse, you don't want to give 1000 Thingys a chance to break Nojak wide open? BTW, reading your post gave me the best laugh of the day. T'anks.

Thanks, Double R. Yes, I amaze myself, too. Let's hope that 1000 Thingys findings justify the enormous costs involved.
