I received this letter in the mail today. It’s from a man I met four years ago while in Paris. He let me stay in his house after I found out that my hotel over booked and I didn’t have anywhere to stay. I gave him my address (I’ve moved three times since then) and told him to write if he ever needed anything.
I’ve decided to reattempt the Tower of Babel project. I began the project three days ago. I had a two or three square foot base started. Then it rained for about six hours, and, being on a flood plain, my initial attempts were washed away in flash flood.
I started again this morning. I’ve got my base back up and I’m working on a second level now. The sun is hot and beats down hard on my back as I work. Thankfully I’ve got a semi-slave girl to bring me water and meals. She’s just a friend.
My plan is to start out small. Just get a small thing going. Hopefully word will spread, I’ll get some mass media publicity, and others will join me. I’ll work out the details of that once I actually have some money and man power to work with.
If you want to help, give me a call.

The original was in French; I translated myself and edited out his phone number. Think I should give him a call?
