Frazz by Jef Mallett for November 08, 2024

Check out “Der Wind” by “In Extremo” bagpipes that really work!!

Caulfield?

They call the wind Mariah.

He already produces a lot of wind, mostly hot. But he’s always interesting in his plotting and scheming. Enjoyed those infrequent students. They brightened up the classroom and challenged the average.

You want to be Colonel Flagg?? (MASH): “I have no home; I’m the wind.”

Frazz is probably familiar with Utah Phillips:

If I could be the rain, I’d wash down to the seaIf I could be the wind, you’d see no more of meIf I could hide the way I feel, I’d never sing againOh, how I wish that I could be the rain.

We see the sun coming and it’s still quite the force of nature.

There is no wind. The effect you see is generated by your own body, which attracts things like smoke and paper and leaves.

We don’t see you coming but we know it – its inevitable.

They call me The Breeze…

A frightful one.

And magnets! How do they work!?

You’ve got something better, Caufield: they see you coming, but they don’t know what to expect. And those that don’t know you don’t even have a clue.

I have wondered what makes the wind gust? Anybody?

Hey, kid, didn’t your mom ever tell you it’s not polite to point? (Besides which, what exactly are you pointing at?)

Yikes! Sort of like the election results.

The Wind Cries Mary

Caulfield is definitely the wind. When people see him coming, they hide inside.

The wind blows whither it will, and you feel it but cannot see it

That way lies madness. The literature is clear that invisibility is a Baaaad idea.

But you’d have to stop running your mouth or they’d hear you anyway.
