>DATELINE - NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA JULY 20, 1995

Hi guys and gals. all you whores...

my name is ross craig and I'm the bluenoser - nova scotian - that our kathy jo is coming all the way up here to see. she boards the scotia prince ferry tonite for an overnite sailing to yarmouth. it's an excellent ship with bars, restaurants, entertainment lounges, and a casino. but somehow I don't think jojo will be doing much gambling in it. they are comping her, seeing as such she is a big celebrity, and all.

then when she arrives I am picking her up in my bus. I have to tell you about this bus. it's a big old school bus that just before it was retired had a practically new 327 ramhorn put in it. the guy that built into a moror home did it right - taking out everything including all the windows. then he put in tinted rv windows where he was building the lounge, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms - and then did a real fine job with the woodwork inside - it's very comfortable. and since the guy owned a scrapyard and repair shop he was able to spend the time necessary to do a top job, and had all the necessary tools. anyway, it is a long way from being a school bus now. krista, my hippie gypsy friend, painted it white with black trim. billy graham could ride in it. so, yesterday she put the final touches to it. in huge red graphics she painted " KATHY JO" on the front and "east coast internet tour 1995" on the side door. what do you think, from a pittsburg city bus, to a greyhound, and now to her own traveling show? i'd like to say she does not know about it, but when she called from new haven yesterday she got it out of me. she has a way you can't deny, of getting to all the truth - I told the ap guy that is chasing her that she could spot bullshit better than an eagle can see mice, but that is precisely why we all love her. and she gives it back. in spades. and in your face too.

scary and refreshing at the same time jojo is unique, and her fans now will be later able to say they knew her when. and piss off all you flamers who only want her to do and think what you want. just accept her and you will be a free thinker too. she is a teacher, a leader who will be very important in our time, of this I am sure, so as lee iacocca says lead, follow, or get out of the way!

she is so scared of me, not physically, but she thinks i'm going to fall madly in love with her and she will have to kill me. but that's not my plan, we are simpatico, but worlds apart and that won't change. I need to see and be able to talk at length with this person who has overcome sooo much and accomplished the impossible already. when she is an international leader, I want to still know her. and I will. of course I love her, but that's not *being* in love.

so far I think this rode trip hasn't been easy for her, so the other part of my plan is to treat her like a valuable tourist. the queen bee. she will sleep in the bed that demi moore and sometimes bruce used for six weeks in yarmouth at the manor inn while filming the "scarlet letter" , an unreleased - look for it thanksgiving - film with a powerful woman as the heroine. not to many of those this year was there? then on to white point beach lodge, a world famous resort, with all the goodies, including two lakes, restaurants, tennis, golf and she will have her own cottage right on the beach. i'm not rich, they are comping her too.

then off to prince edward island, y'all know she is an "anne" fan - that's "anne of green gables" to those who don't know. look it up if you don't and learn lots more about jojo. cuz she *is* anne with freckles, long red hair, just like anne, and the same attitude. "it's sooo good to be bad" she is going to stay at a little inn, the dundee arms, in the anne suite, where all the japanese girls stay when they are going to visit anne's house. they study anne to learn english and it is their adolescent dream fulfilled to do it. it's like a pilgrimage for them. they save for years. did you know jojo has made her own anne clothes and is going to put her hair up in pigtails and walk around town like that. I told her the japanese girls will be following her around and she said "that's okay - i'll sign autographs for all of them.

and lots of other good things like nova scotia lobster and on and on...

so keep her in your heart kids, and be patient. because I will let her use my computer to tell you everything, unlike that asshole in nyc.
