I'm a White man serving a life sentence under California's 3-Strike law. I went thru a jury trial and conviction in 1995 for terrorist threat and attempted kidnap. My first parole board is for 2024. The charges sound worse than the actual event.

As I sit in these California prisons, the people I once knew out in that life, are now disappearing on me. I would appreciate some contact with the outside world. I look all around me to see a lot of young men who are playing "prison" after they grew up hearing stories from their dads, uncles, or friends of the family. I've been in & out of prison since the late 70s. Now I have these youngsters telling me how it was, "back in the day." Those same days I lived through.

Writing is the only "escape" I get from here. I would like to write back & forth with some White women out there. Not that I'm a racist. I'm a separatist. I'm surrounded by men already. I don't need to hear from men. No gays either. If you don't remember how to lick a postage stamp, then go with this blog project. Which ever is easiest on you. This is the first time I've tried this inter-web blogging. I'm from the pre-web years.

I don't need your money. I'm not going to talk you into selling your home. I just want contact with the outside world. If you would, write me and give me a glimpse at your world, then I'll tell you about mine.

Remember that not everyone can be a lion tamer. Somebody needs to build the lion cages. Someone else needs to raise the Big Top tent and put up the bleachers. Then some folks have to come watch the show. Otherwise, there's really no point in even having a lion tamer!

Respectfully,
Richard
