I am Ben Wechsler. I'm 89 years old and I'm grumpy. This text is too small for me to read, I need a seeing eye dog. I have a good friend named Remsen who visits with his human. Of all the people I know Remsen is the smartest and has the most attractive profile. Remsen is of course a German Shepherd.

I own part of High Falls in the Neversink Gorge in Forestburgh NY. In 1968 I created The Turner Brook Reserve. Not too long after that I lost all faith in humanity. Long story. Luckily, before 1968 I got to travel the world and do some cool stuff and stuff that I am told is "cool" but I disagree. For example, I was made a deputy to help out with the traffic situation when we had a big concert near where I live up here in Forestburgh. Some guy had a farm in Bethel and a whole group of long haired jerks came up and rolled around in the mud listening to electric guitar crap. They were mostly dope fiends and were rude to me when I tried to get them to park their cars off the side of the rode. They didn't listen, they left their VW's right where they were stopped in a huge traffic jam and went into the woods to have sex. Totally anti social assholes, I was a "beatnick" in the 50's and we'd have kicked the crap out of those stupid hippies. Obviously one of my favorite cartoon characters is Cartman on Southpark, the other is a yellow bird who's best friend is a beagle. The horrible concert I had to be a traffic cop at was named after this yellow bird or was it the other way around? I'm to old to care.

Cool stuff? Ariel Sharon and I were buddies when he was the Minister of Agriculture. I edited the 1961 edition of "The Life of a Burma Surgeon," by Gordon S. Seagrave, MD. I hung out with Karl Popper and the Right side of the Liberal Party in the House of Parliament of the United Kingdom in the 50's and 60's. Oh yea, I've also saved a couple of species from extinction and I made the Neversink River a safe and healthy place for Brown Trout to live.

It's very late and I have to go to bed. I was just informed today that I will be very helpful in the "Battle of Vice vs. Wikipedia." Great. At my age I've got much better things to do, like play with Remsen. As far as I've been able to tell, Vice has lots of young topless girls running around and every one is trying too hard to impress them with "important" articles and documentaries about "important" stuff, while Wikipedia has the worst possible introductory paragraph about Karl Popper that I have ever seen. Listen Kids, it's all been done before. Gotta go save a waterfall.
