I was about to send this B’day message to you but I fell asleep. But I see that it’s still 11th February in New Jersey, so here goes:
You are the greatest man I have come across. The “Weltanschauung” I have received from you is like a protective shield over my mind and it protects me from “the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” and it protects me from the attacks of gorts too.

I would have prayed to “God” for your good health but as “He” is not around, I fervently hope that you stay healthy and people around you begin to recognise what a precious and rare gem you are.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Herr Hauser!

You are without a shadow of a doubt, an unparalleled profound thinker.I have been very fortunate that I get to interact with you.

I hope that this new year of your life turns out to be much better than the previous one.

Take care.

Happy B'day,Herr Hauser. I hope most of your problems get reduced this year.
Like Paganini shows the kid how to play the violin in the following video, you truly showed me show to think:

Hi there, Holden.  Thanks for the wishes.  I am typing with my good old Dell notebook computer - the one with the rEFInd Multi-boot menu - from a public library ...  :o

Living in car with 4 cylinder engine

spending last twenty dollars on gas to travel into south Jersey a bit to see my MoMMMeeeeeee.

I am onthe front lines of the War Against Our Homeless Nation

Shall I become a Nation of One, an autonomous agent prepared to receive assistance from even Berlin or the bad hombres?

In the spirit of Dostoyevsky's Prince Myshkin, I change my name, here, most likely only temporarily, to Baron Von Hentrich.

That was the name of my Old English Sheepdog Friend from about age 9 to age 17 when he died ... of dehydration?  in the summer tied to a tree?   Heartache!   My mother kept the dog inside in the air conditioning on hot days.  There was only one air conditioning unit in the house, and the dog had that room in the day with classical music on when no one was around.

My dad's second wife, a general manager of several McDonald's restaurants, had his hair shaved, but then tied him to a tree.   I had just turned 17 and was focused on the automobile.   My heart aches over that, but - well, I feel very intimate with the Dog/Wolf part of Being.

Baron the Bum (Like Diogenes the Dog?)

Speak for yourself, G.H.! Just because YOU were finished after forty (or whenever) does not mean that the rest of us are.


In fact, it is true that if you stick to the mainstream, or keep doing the same old things, then you get burnt out. BUT, if you stay on the fringes, free to ponder your own ideas, then you can keep on going for ever

For Herr Hauser:

My whole wretched life swam before my weary eyes, and I realized no matter what you do it's bound to be a waste of time in the end so you might as well go mad.

Stay Strong!

Herr Hauser,

I am sorry to hear that you are still in dire straits. I hope your car has some kind of heater  because I think it gets very cold over there.
Some days back the Windows OS in my computer crashed and so ,in order to avoid having to buy the new edition, I have installed Linux Ubuntu OS in my computer now and am using LibreOffice instead of MS Office.

I have been tinkering with the terminal with a few basic commands. The OS has been working well enough,although, I have not managed to install the drivers for my old Canon LBP 2900 printer in it yet.
It is a trial-and-error process,I suppose. I also thinking about looking into Linux for Dummies book.
Let’s see how it goes. I have been studying mathematics religiously over the last few years and it does help me in more ways than one.

I hope both you and your mother manage to continue to stay strong.

Take care.
