for the dahlias
When the waking hour comes
you will open your eyes
to a new destiny
and the world’s lullaby’s
For the power of life
what the world finds as one
for what’s known and unknown
overcomes all or none
For every friend and foe
must find peace when they go
It’s not for them to decide
don’t you know
It’s not for them to decide
where they’ll go
For the process of life
what it teaches
my son
is that we shall know peace
when we’re done

Your dahliance with dahlias puts me in mind of Miss Talula Bankhead, who I erroneously remembered as having uttered in a film from way back some line about dahlias.
Turns out, after Googling a few minutes, it wasn't her. It was Kat Hepburn in Stage Door (1938). And furthermore, they weren't dahlias.

After seeing Tenessee Williams' play "Orpheus Decending," she went backstage and told him, "Dahling, they've absolutely ruined your perfectly dreadful play."
Walking out on another bad play, she said: "Dahling, there's less here than meets the eye."

It wasn't Curtis Mayfield, but Luther Vandross who got in the car accident in Laurel Canyon.
Never met either of them, but Luther mighta hit me there in the Canyon (you know where the young girls were coming to), when I was running the Hills.

Bluster often compensates for fear.
Courtesy can mask a cheat.
Indignation may confirm wrongdoing.
--Don Noh
And silence can indicate holding back.
The grapevine saith bushman has experienced a bad thing.
We are all one, motley though some of us are.
My number is on the OP, buddy. I've lost yours.

Been a while, I forgot about those B-52's. Didn't they fly out, just north of Merced?
Also, some things are kind of easy to forget when you see them all the time...
I was thinking, it takes enough work to maintain your car. Things seem to break, even fall off every once in a while. Computers can be glitchy too.
Who takes care of those missiles? The stuff they carry up top seems to last some time at least. Unplanned obsolesce?
No wilting flowers around here, but maybe a trigger warning. I meant to apologize for "Drive On". Some stuff in it, that by the grace of good, I'll never have to witness.

There is a Blackbird singing in the dead of night out at the old air field, which now is the Castle Air Museum.
I visited it with LostInShanghai in 2013.
Bill "The Dolt" Fuehrer was stationed there, not far from the center of the universe, a gear-head and a prop-headed zoomie.
We back to talking about climbing yet?

Climbing it is, peanut. Grasshopper. Whoever.
Selaginella Road, Patagonia.
"Bleak."
Minginella-Selaginella link-up, what could go wrong? 👍

good stuff. my valley experience didn't happen with eb's, goldline, or swami's. thus, it should be downgraded. 4th class? Isn't that most everything mortal, since that Honnold guy. also, I missed your trip report the first time. very good stuff.

Green cheese is a fresh cheese that has not thoroughly dried nor aged, which is white in colour and usually round in shape.
The Oxford English Dictionary gives a reference from the year 1542 of the four sorts of cheese. The first sort is green cheese, which is not green by reason of colour but for its newness or under-ripened state, for the way* is not half pressed out of it yet.
The phrase is not commonly used to describe the colour of a cheese, though there are some cheeses with a greenish tint, usually from mold or added herbs (bleu--HA!--cheese).
There are other instances in which the word "green" is used to mean "new", such as in the term "greenhorn", which refers to a n00bie.
