Thanks Jim Clipper
I always like historical surfing photos
It must be my eyes
bB: just not brown_eye or even Browne_Eye, eh
brownie is ok (Peter Haan used it), but there is actually a brownie on the ST
Huntington Beach local is old Jackson (rumoured to have some familiar goings on)
The pier was too cut-throat so we usually went to the Cliffs

Dwain, 'twas in my mind earlier today to mention this very thing, about how you have honored my erstwhile wishes concerning political discussion on this thread.
I practice satire here, and the #1 target, D. Trump, is fat and juicy, like a good holiday bird or a well-marbled prime rib.
The Grinch Reformed Party would like to insert a holiday greeting to all politards, everywhere.

eight hours this day...
at eight am I put on one sock
cross sliced an orange and noticed a clock
eight even sections divided each hour
then I tasted the sweet with the bitter and sour
now at nine the other sock and a shoe
for lopsided shuffling with critters ‘twould do
eight hours for sleeping or eight hours for kicks
eight hours for whistling or picking up sticks
come ten am and I went out the door
with two shoes pajamas a cap and no more
feeding the critters with woofs and meows
shuffling I smiled with the sun through the clouds
at eleven the shadows all left for a bit
with lunch and a nap it now felt time to quit
noting I was present I’d shown up for work
as a single notation with some major quirks
with noon it marked four hours to go
half way to sunset I was starting to slow
still time to tool about in the shop
five pets at my feet and no room for to hop
time flew by as the clock struck one
I barely noticed so engrossed in the fun
an escape from the world and time off from my mind
a welcome reprieve from the daily grind
two pm found me sanding and painting
letting these hands do the work of creating
drilling and sawing and building from snuff
whatever the heart thought important enough
three came and went as the light still held
like pieces of wood from great trees once felled
clearing the mess and turning off the light
readying myself for the coming of night
four pm and eight hours gone by
walking with dogs under darkening skies
a rain was now falling on grateful hearts
to nourish the souls of a world torn apart
eight hours passed in the blink of and eye
as well do our lives as we live and we die
civilizations they’ll come and they’ll fall
like summer to winter we all hear the call
what can one do in an instant we might ask
take time to reflect or to drink from your flask
for time waits for no one it often is said
so I put out the cat and I went off to bed

jus' Lettin' it resonate,
thus nothing to do add,
just saying
thank you
. ...........The ice in - New Jersey- forms,,,,,,, once in a blue moon ! !,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
We didn't need to be told*
- The Blue Gus Chimney -TBGC-
Named as much after Gustav Compton/Kneff who had a blue streak,
& a blue streak in his hair, that hung like an icicle
on one side of his face; he spent countless hours
shivering in the shade with me here,
As much as it is named for it is for the skull-like image (~:=o (seen in the play of light in the dampness of the corner)Here in late fall, still leaves on the trees. If you see the way this freezes you'll go weak in the knees.
When you can see "Blue Gus" on Halloween,
hope for a long cold winter with early heavy snow
and a very cold March.(form "Blue moons")
To get after it do a recon
*Wait for the last arctic night,
go before dawn, when conditions are right.
No swinging, not tools or your own self
no falling or bashing your way up.
if you can't "tap" all the way up
... you can't tick it.
stay away , till things get thicker
save the ice for climbing
here in late fall,
still leaves on the trees,
if you see the way this freezes
you'll go weak in the knees.
B^7(if you go out for that sorta thing)
Also take great care,
Always be careful
And careful when climbing ice means no swinging,
it could cost you a life
if it is just coming in: As much as it hurts
Go climb some rock
it'll hurt less than the sounds
you'll make wrecking tools
which then will need re-grinding
and always
don't bring this thing down
-on your own pitiful self. . .
If it is 'in'
it is a "Tap" your way up the climb, type of thing,
easy does it,
no slamming your feet in at the base
place & set your toes with one kick
bend knee, stick it, repeat & step up,
no 'boinging', leaping or jumping
Minimal testing, keep climbing up
Use light dance moves, to move,
No long reaches with crushing blows
1st strike sticking
sticking tools with confidence
using everything in the corner, for gear
To climb the thing
you should never swing
Never swing anything,
not the tools, ropes or seconds
just a light 'tap-a-tap', tapping
&
no falling anywhere on this thing
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Rained in Otay and likely on Otay Mtn., though I wasn't there.
I ate more than I have in a while
"Well, the rainman comes with his magic wand
But the judge says, "Mona can't have no bond"
The walls collide, Mona cries
And the rain man leaves in the wolf man's disguise"
ain 't that the way it goes
Did not know Steve Grossman was still playing
Very considerate of his parents, who must have been very patient to put up with
“the neighborhood’s biggest brat blowing his nose for ninety minutes.”

Morning Ablutions
I am reflecting on my image in your mirror.
Is that person me, we, or thee?
Maybe even all three?
Look at me and what do you see, mirror man, is it mirror me?
We may share the same toothbrush but you part your hair on the other side.
I should know that from you there is nothing I can hide.
Unless I turn on the shower and let the mist do the trick.

I will count raindrops for a time, say a few billion years,
then, God willing, I'll get drunk off a few billion beers.
