Let's get back to Big Columbia boulder and Raffi's bench.
You know he dropped an "a" from his name and Peter Paan picked it up.
So the boy's resting his nogg on his hands lying stretched out on the marble-like granite
He's thinking of the Fires of his youth (a "relative youth" even when purchased; God had just learned to "tie His shoes, always tie His shoes") which are in the bag for sale with the iron
He thinks how he hates them they've never been nice,
What the f*#k would good old Helen have to say if I laid that on her?
Back in the darkroom of my mind I am framing the view with my head on the SAR site side of the slab of granite, it's granite, I get it. I just took it for granite it was marble earlier.
so the boulder I'm weejing on the left side, the twisty cedar grows next to it behind the bench is bringing in the right side
snap the shutter and you see mainly tree
its branches spiral. its trunk twists. its barry bates in the fiber!
bump for the tree which has mastered the lightning and the bench which lies below
and Columbia's the gem of my notion

Timid Toprope, I'll make sure to make it down there. Thanks for the link.
As it's oft repeated, small world. My husband Dan went to Fullerton JC and was majoring in art, much like your bro. Dan was good, but when he found out he'd most likely have to start his art life in a big city he went on to a different career. Love and hugs to yo and Nita Gal!! :)) Lynne

zBrown, that was an excellent post and Boomer's gotta be shocked he had a beach named like him. The surfies looked so unprofessional and desperate that it must've been shots of, well, er, surely not you. :)

^Notice @ Boomer's 1961 - long boards, no leashes, no wetsuits.
Next up BoomBox Beach just east of the 405 inland from Torrance.
Notice - no boards, no leashes, no wetsuits

Mouse: not only the fastest with the words and thoughts but now getting the good eye with the camera.
Eye,eye
e-mail on the way finally found a door that opened and had the correct info now to make sure everything matches to a “T’or connects the dots.

"Our ascent, of course, does not end the possibility for new accomplishments on El Capitan. The day will probably come when this climb will be done in five days, perhaps less; and a younger generation will make a new route on the west face."-— Royal Robbins, after the 2nd ascent of the Nose, 1960 (the record is now about 4h/17m).

Don't open the doors of perception. You may find that things are not what they seem.

Advice about perception to the contrary notwithstanding and not to drag race into an already inflammatory situation, but isn't Cowboy Buckwheat accompanied by the proverbial horse of a different color?
