Dumb/funny LTTE: Winter winds will knock hurricane-downed trees back up!
It's from my home town, in the FL panhandle.

Now, the letter's not really political, but from the intelligence level, I can at least see how many voters (here and elsewhere) could be duped into voting for Bush.

Scroll down to "Opposing Wind".

It's one of those Faith-Based Laws of Physics from a bush worshipper, I see...

3. You are missing the point completely
He's a spy sending code. I mean, really, who writes like that?

Cold air is heavy. For the next four months strong winds, mostly from the North, will blow in the opposite direction of Ivan. These winds will assist trees in their efforts to right themselves.

If a tree poses no threat, give the system a chance to correct itself. Much will have changed by spring


From what I can tell, he's saying the something big is underway over the next 4 months. The force he is speaking of is a northern one. Or Western European. It opposes Ivan (Russia?) This movement or action will restore a natural order to things, but if you start taking down "trees" or things that are just a nusiance (bystanders, innocent civilians, small ineffective armies?) or are in the way then the force will draw attention to itself and may expose itself to danger.

On the other hand, it's a pretty good poem too.

Cold air is heavy.

trees in their efforts

6. Yes, I've seen it and yes, you're right!
I love the image of trees trying to right themselves... you know, exerting all that MUSCLE they have to try to PULL themselves back upright!
