I had a friend that was descendant of three North American Indian tribes. Navajo through his mother and Apache and Cherokee through his Dad. He also had Germany and English blood running through his veins viva both parents. Where they got their philosophy, is any ones guess. They tried constantly to out con one another. They jumped sides with in the family on each issue, untill some long term alliances were and still are being made. The next to the oldest son and one of his younger brothers, my friend, hadn't spoken for years. They had a severe Love/Hate relationship.

When my friend and I got a cockatiel, it became a member of our family. His name was Boo Joe. He could say his name, whistle Mayberry Theme Song and loved the dog. We'd had Boo Joe for about ten years and were very attached. One evening at approximately 8:30 PM the phone rang three times. As I moved from my office to answer the call, I heard three sharp screams form Boo Joe, which was beside the phone. I saw him drop from his perch. I opened the door and graped him up in my hand. He was panting his last breaths as his eyes rolled back into his head. I blew into his face and graped a small rubber straw and tried to see if there was any obstructions in the throat. Nothing he was gone. I had forgotten about the phone last did not ring any more that day. My friend said, " That was my brother calling. He took Boo Joe." Not giving way to any imaginary psychic, I began proper burial proceeding at once.

I was still in a morning stage, two days later when the phone rang again. This time it was his mother to inform us of his brother's passing. In a state of shock I heard myself ask, "At what time did he pass?".

"Two days ago", was her reply. "He was pronounced dead at 9:00 pm."

Wow, my mind went blank, with possibilities. Could, it be possible to reach across the country in an instant that your spirit leaves it's body and reach out to get revenge? Could all my Old Time Baptist teaching be wrong? Or did it only scratch the surface of truth? You be the judge. These are true facts, but am I fantasizing by putting the two together. You tell me.
