Rules and a demarcation from said fire.
When, if, in the glow of posting, six or more ideas unfold onto the page, it is my intent to hence forth make a break and start a post afresh and new.
My comments need to be more or less whole formed and that then I will strive for too.
In the videos from Eldorado, the 1st of the 'Rosary' Crucifixion, rROsey oops!
In the end ends up on the line called Taggers, at its top is the business, a roof.
So many years ago I can not believe it? I was well past anything that counted, past both
cruxes when my verve died I cried and bailed bare handed to a hanging rope. This was no joke I was swing batman style way far off the deck. The rope belonged to Alison Sheets(?) I think that was then her last name.She was or would soon be a guide there in Eldorado proper.
My rope trick from the moves past the lip of the Taggers roof,caught everyone's attention. My young hands held tight and having the sense of the dire consequences I pulled what you called a Mills,- or should call the using a hanging rope as a cocoon to slow a rapidly becoming fatal fall down to a survivable rope burn inducing grinding to a halt,landing smoking but alive.
Needs to be wrote better anachronism aside.
Why is the second climbing with that overfilled blue butt lug pack?
The thing is all that I can see it is disturbing and ruins the video for me,although it brought back that memory.

We all have our crosses to bear, GOD KNOWS! Sheesh.
That your hands were damaged is a SIGN, Gnome!
But let's not get all Easterly and mystical/theological...it's too nice a morning!

Ah, Mouse, I had to read up on
Sophora Root (ku shen)
to understand it. Thank you for the info.
Compounding your own medications is a wonderfully healthy way to go. Become your own primary physician! Wow!
Your grandchildren are adorable. The girls are both super cuties! I love their face art. And how super that they live close by so you can see them often. I have two grandsons, in Texas. They occasionally make it to Montana, but I make it to Texas more often.
Back to work here.
Thank you for the info on the ku shen.

Yike z that is out of my wheel-house, completely.
ff your grasp of the Haiku, is simply fantastic ,
Good enough to go head to head with
Tobin's brother, the poet, of enormous hart
The Tacos' own bushMan
As to the exotic herbs that are not gud to smoke and if you taste 'em you choke.
Ugh that stuff! bitter and dull of color is it really good for you?
I know it is, they are, but I wonder if it is, all for naught?
My wife's got me popping pills,
she swears by them .
though I do not, with maladies of the like that you have got,
yes you should too, mouse and everyone.
We take some number of supplements as the budget dwindling Month to month, allows,
This non-constant, some times all! (Like 17) but going down from too many to too few,
wreaks havoc on my aging wife's metabolism, this the girls here may be able to relate to
as it is the onset of menopause she hopes to delay, why?
Oops I take that back . . . .okay honey?. . . Well she is off the roof and shared way more than I needed, yikes talk about out of my wheel-house, I often faint at the sight of blood,
Oops I have to get the ladder again. It is the cat in her that sends her. In a snit to sit on the roof, pissed off as it were, yo of course I'm whipped and proud of it.
Born to refugees from hitler into a Catholic family of all girls, As was the old norm, when a hubby needed a son, she was born to an almost 40 year old mother; old to be birthing children, even then ,back in the day.
Here is proof of what I say, she won't hear it when I say,
her closest sister is seven years older than she.
So as I was saying it makes for fun nights !(Maybe not so much)
in the frame work of this marriage I provide the comic relief and she everything else.
and let me tell you that a lot.
She is her own woman, and gets along better with men than other women and always has.
Indeed this should be evident in her continued Un-willingness to share here.
( she does not think it manly, the way the men act here on the taco)
About anything ?how about your paintings? darling I love. . .
I try and have transgressed by posting a pic or two, when she sees that she hits the roof and can delete them herself and does.
Her paintings are good (we think) but are hers to do with as she likes,
to bad for us, we tacoites.

Miles, of Miles and Amy, old friends from the Renaissance, messaged me on FB.
He's living in Knoxville. Elvira Country. Re-married, re-divorced. He got fooled again, unlike The Who.
Hey, as soon as he mentioned Knoxville, my thoughts strayed to my ideel, DMT.
And we proceeded to follow my stream of consciousness in a letter to Miles, miles away. I followed a random course, like the Tennessee River used to in flood. Well, it's only Kentucky, not Sinkiang Province.
And I'm still re-re-reading Shibumi, so you may hear scrapings from that novel by the creator of Jonathan Hemlock.
Things like, "Equality is not the basic impulse of fate."
Or, "Karma is a device, not a system."
You gotta love Universal Truth.
You gotta love old Kirby Hensley.
As much as I do, though, the ju-ju of most UL-approved ministers is not very powerful. They may be full of Mojo, but their ju-ju quotient is low by comparison. Maybe it's just Low Tea, as opposed to High Tea.
Just ask Alice. Or Elvira.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MILtDGFKZo
My heart is on fire,
For Elvira.
Oom-pah-pah mou-mou.
I'm sorry, zBrown, but "you've got a lot of nerf!"

if that is you, as short pants says, hairy girls are sexy,
If that is your hand, you have the most desirable hand bone structure and clean finger nails too. ,
It is the toe-ishness; the way the nail bed is wide and the nails stay back from over hanging the finger tips,
that denotes a very high probability of superior hand strength,
(I've made a study of this)
I am sorry that a fishy one! one with whom I have almost always agreed, stooped to show you after days out,and that he failed to include this butt shot. . . ?
Damn it, I can't find It now,
but it shows a lower back of a women who's fuzzy every where,
so proudly, shows it off.
Like a tramp stamp; a (natural) chevron pattern just above her derrière
ignore that up there I wanted to save it
JUST IN CASE
prepare to be straifed by the Kook or Burchy 'cause the admin here on the Taco,
(who I think, he, adam burch? works with, the admin. in a legal advisory capacity,for)
killed off Relax Guy.
This is the most revolting of the 'supplements, more to come later,
now I have wasted to much time trying to be a little kinder to suprema or what ever she calls her self.
I should have known better, and I am sorry if it brings the poo shower over here.

But at the top of the scale is this legendary male lead, Rory Calhoun.He's a bit more handsome than Robert Fuller, but this is only my personal view. neebee's vote would cancel mine. :0)
There were many Thomases who doubted that the Hoover Dam could be built.
Cowards need not apply.
This was the first dam project on which my Grandad was employed.
He used to drink a lot of iced tea on the job.

Oh, i could go on in that vein.
Justice. The Law. Fifteen, make that ten, commandments.
"Grammar rules all kinds of fools, its really got a hold on me."
That's not the first error I ever have made.
I never cared for the Chimney, nor the idea of climbing on a granite penis.
Out of the ether comes a radio voice transmission to Space Ranger Station Nine.
Ruler, this is Back of the Hand.
Back of the Hand, this is Ruler. Is this Mr. Salathe?
No, it's his ghost. I'm an angel now, technically. But still a ghost as well. Don't ask, I promised not to tell.
What is it?
What say? I'm a little hard of hearing. All this background sound, hammering, hammering...
Get a grip, sir. Is this Anton's buddy?
Yes, it is. Over.
We don't say that no mo', bro. Dig?
10-4. I'm Anton's good buddy. Is he there? I want to speak with him, please.
I'm sure he'd like to speak to you. He's not around much any more.
It's tough being a famous second for fifteen minutes, yeah. I don't know what's become of him, either. Haven't the foggiest.
Is that all, you just called to talk to him?
Yes. That will be all. No call-backs allowed anyway. Good night.

Ax Nelson last climbed in the Valley in 1948 and some years after that he put his humanitarian avocation to work full time.
He set off for East Africa to work with the struggling Wameru coffee growers in Tanzania
and in his spare time made the first complete traverse of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
We may as well stash this one, while we're at it.

RThe devil will give you twenty when your friend got only ten Seems to me it is this then tat needs to be said
Set out sweating bullies when it was lawyers that needed watching.
So let me get this straight they walked up past all that? Even at the darkest point of the night , fresh broken trees smell and dust and debris that thick should have been the hint.
As to the 'friend' not a cam but a lock to put me to sleep,
The end is all that comes to mind now when I here your crows version.
The maga dread mullet and whining plaintive voice has for years been a staple of driving tunes
As the kids have gotten older the trips have decreased so that both that travel disc and
The disk of a favorite '85 show have not been heard in full ,back to back.
What we played during my wife's first labor.
I went with my then fiancé to a counting crows show, the Counting started, I fell asleep.
The wife held me and rocked to the beat.
We did not go get hitched in Vegas although we had that plan.
It was to be just after New Years back in '96 but who new the desert depressed her, and the heat sure didToo, to.
would have been funny even cute and endearing but I planned and schemed, a great BYOB with no booze at the event,
I still lost the deposit, she was pissed that I had planned to surprise her with a non-private gig.

O It would have been funny even cute and endearing but I planned and schemed, a great event with no booze at the event,
I still lost the deposited, she was pissed that I had planned to surprise her with a non-private event.
We then spent New Years at mid-night, fleeing the lights of the strip, and were on that damn dam as the year slipped away,
it became a five year engagement. To
We never played in the desert again not solo or together, I miss climbing road trips
The suffer fest of the drive, my secret to making it all night?
Fumunda Juice,
Say what? Yes it is a play on swerves from under the car seat where it brews up too thick for some to swill .
I gives it a good shake though, and sips it like a snake, it smells a bit of coffee,
but it's the whites that give it the kick.
If you drink too much it will make you sick: a right turn to spew into the dirt.
Then there may be halos of rainbows till the sun comes up and the traffic picks up,
Time to stop and eat, throw up, and get to Cali by noon.
Not part of this roll it was way to much for her, she went for a fourth try, that holiday season.
But flying out of Scottsdale or was it Tempe?
I love my life and thank the wife for making it so soft and nice,
She also can be fu nay? Here is her haiku
It is Christ mas time
A small Jew roast, an open fire
Hiel Hitler. . Oh please
Is it five seven five ? It made us laugh and wish for a cool breeze
Did you catch the Weedge, ?.
Hey bud? You lurking here at all?
I liked best the two last two best!
No not that there is any point but they sent the wrong one packing
from the Kramp-fire.
As I have said he must be in, or else his actions,post would should be actionable.
Commentary not appreciated. . . . . ?
back to the shows.
-Wow that
Of course no left turn
free that. free that.
Hope I did not offend anyone with all of this and thank you for Your pics.

I have no idea

I see a face on the left turned
in the Un - stone (go! On it is a suffer fest.)

If you lead it clean onsight you should get laid that night if you can move that is.
I keep liking yours but here lets seeA ghostly face, skull like , grim reaperish
On the left, & a leaping buck,dear,deer, on the right ,into the clouds - ya see?

He walks using hands or feet
Depending on who he is trying to impress
For he is an athlete but he's just a boy
And for him it's all about getting laid
By the attractive belayer on the route
Then he went and overstayed his welcome
On Higher Spire and his desire
Totally wilted on the descent
Made through brush over talus they went
--torchless--
And by the light of no moon.
