If total darkness is the absence of light, then what is total light?
"Blues are born
out of the darkness
with the help of light."--Al U. Nedano from this film
In the heart, in the idle mind,
in the eyes, in the daily grind,
in your want, in your need,
therein lies the bluish seed.
They have the blues in Chico,
They get the blues in Redding,
Both are lucky they're not flooded out
When Shasta's tears are shedding.
Piss on my grave when I'm gone.
I won't be there, son.
I'll be playing the bluest blues. No, son, I can't lose.
It's a cryin' shame about Alving Lee. I haven't listened to him in like ten years.

Kinda begs the question, what did you do thereafter?
On the way up to Joe Herb park I stopped in here for gas.
Gas was a much better deal in the old days.

SCSeagoat, very nice to hear.
I suppose it might be the height of discourtesy to remind ANYONE that nice is a seldom-used word that fell out of use about the year I was born--the French, sacre bleu, have bequeathed the word and we seem to have forgotten it originally meant "foolish" or "stupid."
It has been modernized by hipsters to "grooby." Interesting, isn't it?
n.b., thanks for cheeking in. Peeking + checking = cheeking. :)

Terrible triffids troubled Toledo till Terrible took the tiller.
Things went from Terrible to Worse, Worse, and Worse, Attorneys-at-Law, when he had to defend himself from the results.
Toledo tanked and thanked Terrible not at all.
All in all, it was quite a thriller.
Holy Toledo!! Was that Boris I saw, alive as you or me?
Ron loves to hug the rock using Xtreme form...
His formula for success might run like this:
X(treme) > (O, o)(0 + 0) = Nothin' to it.
Xcellent photo, Shawn.

My apology to Clint.
Here is PROOF that I AM WRONG!
This goes back to the very first page of The Flames.
I need to explain: had I found this shot earlier, or noticed it, I should say, My Apology would have been extended that much sooner to Clint Cummins.
It is easy to see the top of the cliff is Pinnacular in form. Sort of like this knuckle-head's brow.
My chagrin is controllable, however.
As in previous posts, here I stand with pie in the face, the fatal finger in place, and still having fun doing it.
In fact, I may have learned something--just what I will need to process.
Just another day behind the grill of the Taco Wagon.
Ya want some Taco Sauce with that disculpa, Old Gringo?
Also, FTR, that is moi on the rope. Mathis don't do face climbs if he can help it. And that's m'style, too. Toesies.

What kind of shoes are these dang deals? Robbins with no red laces? Pivettas?Neat position.
Not done. What's the name of the gentle-looking peak?The cousin of the Fickle Finger of Fate, Fatima the Fatale, waiting for you.

Well, Ron, I hope you have it goin' on. How's the gently-aging process f*#ked with you here lately? Can you bite through steel yet?
Tad must've been a tad insecure cuz of us, I think. Or tryin' to impress Maureen. He forgot himself and left out the stretching, I just know it. If you think you haven't done enough, do more. It's the right way.
Sorry, Tad. You're right there! Well, it's OK, I've THOUGHT about execising to the extent I've taken two five-pound dumbells and thoroughly stretched using them in a free-form way, depending on how I feel. I feel loose. I can haul it up anything as long as there's a rope, just like always, except it'll take two time longer. Joints, that's the thing. Not the muscles. At least it is for me.
Never lift until you've stretched. Never get on a machine until then, either. I know that, and I haven't lifted since 1965 and haven't ever tried a machine. All that racquetball and not one time on a weight or iso machine! Like walking by the climbing gym, if one were here.
Eat more salad than you think is good for you and go have a fun night tossing pies with the wife! It's more fun than is good for you, too, I bet.
Chocolate mousse sounds appealing, too. LOL

hey there, say, say, mouse...
mouse...
;)
painting is coming a long nice...
(not as your previous note, on nice)...
:)
say, nice shots, too, of the 'rambling man on mt'...
forgot:
also, nice snow, 'like it up here' seems like
why start rambling, in that case... :))
i love rocks, but today was not so happy with them...
meaning:
those odd rocks in your photo of liz and kids,
i could not paint into their proper 'noteworthy presents'
thus, it presented itself more like a dirt-mound, :(
the dirt mound IS solidify, however, so there is hope...
:)
everything else equals:
e c in fact

Wow, two Chico posts in a week! Great to hear from TT of the Feather River Country.
There is a prize going out tomorrow with your name on it. Well, not exactly, but you'll see.

It's not a well-corroborated story, you can understand.
One day, around the beginning, God pondered how to do rocks.
He said something and something happened and the problem solved itself.
It took a few bilion years, but it came out fine. Except the choss.
Some of which is present in the photo. Paint choss the colour it seems. That stuff on the Feather is not exactly the iron shade of the rest of the north country, that ever-present red. It's dirty yellow and chunky. That may be just a slide, or maybe a roadcut. And it's choss, so blunder through it if you need to.
neebee, treebee, rockee
Rock ye on...
edit: I recommend the climb of Mr. Yuk at the end of Rock On. A 13 yr-old doing a 14 at Smith Rocks. Sport climbing, but hey...

You know I hate to climb on snow (except on rambles it's OK cuz you don't need crampons and an ax, big hassles for yours truly, who prefers minimal gear to slow you down.
This really shows me how much ice there is to avoid. That's what it shows me. It's a very colourful map, too.
Oooh, a different spectrum...
