My granddaughter, Sophie's older sister, Scott's and Jen's #3, and Noah and Jake's younger bister.
She looks all business or is about to bust out laughing, one.
She's the counter-Suge,
Man, she thinks he's such a stooge,
He's like a mean old Scrooge.
Say, listen up Judge,
On this we can't budge,
He's a mean old pudge
And we got a grudge.
He don't know how to roll,
He's just a mean old troll
And he's got no soul.
Now where's my Tootsie Roll,
Grampa Mouse?
Tonight is the World-Famous Merced Art Hop, summer edition (held FAMOUSLY four times a year for the last five years, I think).
At the street level is my son, Scott, "seeding" the downtown area with three skate decks from Madre Skateboards, free to whoever finds them! Yay, Scott and Jen!
This is a real community-based session tonight. There will be this street store.
Street Store
"The world's first Rent-free, Premises-free, Free Pop-up clothing store, Found on the streets curated by you".
--When you come out to the Art Hop on Saturday we are taking clothing donations for our "Street Store" project, all donations will go to the local homeless.
Also, the MAH will be supporting animal rights and services as part of its theme.

Don't ask me why Randy Hamm popped into my head when I thought of Number One.
But he was beaucoups "Numbah One."
Would like to share this with Gypsy.
The squabs have grown up into fledglings and one came to visit today, sitting on my windowsill so placidly.
It was a very strange event in Middle Earth's history.
I'm also thinking of James Wilson today, and the holes the departed leave in our lives.
This was a comforting event, coming just after I began thinking of Randy.
James was "a birder's birder."
Randy was "a climber's climber." Complete with you, that is, Gypsy.
I'm all weirded-out, but glad it happened.
I see the light come shining,
From the east down to the west.
Of all the ones I've climbed with,
Old Randy was the best.
'sup, Gypsy?

Not to be rude (you know how I am about that behavior), but it's hard enough for me to tell what you're thinking, let alone why.

Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder Y, z
Even you don't know by now
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder Y, z
It'll never do somehow
Besides, I've got Chinatown on my mind.
"Talkin' Rude Behavior Blues!"
Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
He never worked, and he never will
And it's ride, ride, ride
Railroad Bill's a mighty mean man
Shot the light out of the poor brakeman's hand
Railroad Bill, up on a hill
Lightin' a seegar with a ten-dollar bill
Railroad Bill took my wife
If I didn't like it, gonna take my life
Goin' on a mountain, goin' out west
Thirty-eight special stickin' out of my vest
Buy me a pistol just as long as my arm
Shoot everybody ever done me harm
Got a thirty-special in a forty-five frame
I can't miss cause I got dead aim
Railroad Bill, he ain't so bad
Whupped his mama, shot his old dad
Early one morning, standing in the rain
Round the bend come a long freight train
Railroad Bill a-comin' home soon
Killed McMillan by the light of the moon
McMillan had a special train
When they got there they was prayin'
Kill me a chicken, send me the wing
They think I'm workin', Lord, I ain't doin' a thing
Kill me a chicken, send me the head
Think I'm workin', Lord, I'm layin' in bed
Gonna drink my whiskey, drink it in the wind
The doctor said it'd kill me but he didn't say when

From Brain Pickings
A very interesting article. Someone once said that in some people, 'Kindness is an instinct" and I agree. And I thought this article sort of fit in here around the fire. Enjoy, Tribe. :)
How Kindness Became Our Forbidden Pleasure
by Maria Popova
“We are never as kind as we want to be, but nothing outrages us more than people being unkind to us.”
Hey, neebee, got your message, will get back to you when company is gone in a few days. It was good to hear from you.
Mouse, sounds as though things are rolling along in the right direction for you. So happy for you!
I am enjoying the haiku thread. We are experimenting with foraging the land here, from juniper berries to prickly pear blossoms to cat tail roots. And so . . .
Medicine Maker
Earth's plants give us life
Safer than pills they're making
And free for taking.
Inspired because I am studying Wooly Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) and Sanguinaria canadensis (Bloodroot) right now. Lots to learn. Fascinating to find so many medicinals grow in the wild, if one knows how to see them. :)
I am enjoying the photos of everyone at the meet-up as well. Everyone has such great smiles and happy eyes. :) Great to see.

You couldn't break this Glass.
BURT BRONSON'S ideal, nonetheless, BURT insists that he'd never have run from them 'ricks. He'd have done something, he's not sure what, but he'd never have run away from frontier trash festooned (his word, not mine) with feathers and beads.
http://www.historynet.com/hugh-glass-legendary-trapper-in-americas-western-frontier.htm
Howdy, Missus! Some potlatch here for you, m'dear. Pull up a stump and have a set. Or let one of the boys pull one up and offer it to you in a gentlemanly fashion.
We're just funnin' old BURT, the misogynistic mythical mystic.
He's lots nicer than he lets on, especially compared to certain campfire crashers we've seen lately.
Hugh Glass was bad-ass
And his ass was twice as bad
His breath was much worse
If haiku ain't yer style
Raku might make you smile
You seem to be well-versed in that. Smiling, I mean.
As the mountain men frequently said, "You shine!"

feralfae,
I spent part of the morning doing apothecary.
It consists of filling capsules with reishi mushroom compounded with ginger and...what was that other ingredient?
Oh, yeah. Ku shen, or Sohphorae.(Don't call me Owsley, zBrown.)
I'm grateful to amyjo, so grateful. Thank you, one more time, amyjo.
I have not checked out the mullein as yet, because it seems like one herbal supplement at a time for the sake of relieving the phlegm is plenty. I believe it's helping, which is basic to the mentality of wellness.
Plus, as Mo the Pink Lady said, "Laughter, and lots of it, Mouse!"
BURT has much to learn about the women-folk, it seems.
