The first day of high school looms. An urban nightmare of a place but what can you do?
Years of sweating it, . . .bringing up a well behaved and innocent child.
yikes, she is still so young, and now, to throw her into the culture that is. . . well , base.. . . ??
still achey, is that how sore is spelt. I am lucky that I did rip anything,
I'm at haul bag counter-weight weight, aid climbing second,
not fit for free climbing weight = NFFFCW!
paying for it still two dayzz shucks its a humbling.
sigh,, z
sigh,
Paying for kids programs for the fall, not collecting ducats, not running a kids program my own self.
Not shilling climbing as the greatest thing, fully title 9, very female friendly.
My small rock, hell; paradise stays pristine
sigh,,,
seems a shame from such flames and smoke come such sun shots!
The burning lands are memorialized in hues of colors as rich as what has burned.
sigh,.
there are some haikus there , , somewhere.

Was just looking at BhuddaStalin's thread about Karl Hammer.
My WAS (Word Association Syndrome) brings forth
Hammer > Hamm > Hambone > ham-hands > Bermingham > Mouse > hampster > dumpster > trash-talking > humble > Hammer.
We tend to have a lot of "old hammers" here on the ST forum.

Likewise, I was checking out the arborism thread.
The City of Merced maintains its own trees with municipal employees. They always show up on Saturdays to barbor the fan palms at City Hall and the date palms on N Street.
I have often wished that they would trim up the N Street palms yearly. They don't. It means that the Clark Range is obscured from my vantage point here in my room. Nothing to be done but to work around it. It is challenging as a result.
Tree Buts
But it's still the same old, same old view.
But as I click from frame to frame,
I'm glad to have had what I have seen,
All the same.

Kinda reminds me of The Tree People. I planted one of my sets of ten trees from the Arbor Society in pots. They grew and prospered but, I was out of space on my lot so I offered them to The People. They weren't interested. We accept cash only.
So are they the Anti Tree People?
I found homes for most and J. Appleseeded the rest.
I do not donate to The Tree People.
rip off of the people's culture?

What is the etymology of entomology?
It would be nice to know, but Golly Gee,
Tree to one one out of tree don't know.
Weed like to believe it ain't so, Joe.
Entil we meet again...

Still cannot find the dream boat, the arms of Morpheus, or restful sleep, sleep, sleep. I abhor sleep aids and am trying some chocolate mix (no milk) right now. Beats coffee at this hour.
Maybe I ought to try meditation. My friend Waldo did. He claims to have found himself using TM.
Frikken zees!!!!

Zzzzz, less sleep here too also not to start but I must find some before to long
That sweet slumber, not knitted mind crisp but not tired, sleep must come before the sun.
On the rise is a drive into the bowels of Jersey.
For your information looking up words that had rise to be before
Latin died keeps me up .
Reading the fool advice the climbing fool
I've attracted on the other Site (mp) that puts me to sleep.
I can't tell yet what to think or do or if to spew here
about his rise through a stiffly metered out intro to the curve.
What ?
The guy is getting scared, of heights, at like sixty feet.
Not fully strong-sighted, wearing glasses that I need to have a look through.
I need to minimize if I can not monetize, teaching the ropes
to one scared of heights, is work, not play or climbing ,per say.
Absolutely, twenty feet up can kill you, but his eyes get wide
and his insistance at knowing how high up he is, is drama,
that he needs to push past, shut up and climb.
Just don't get me started, I need to find those dreams of frolicking in my twenties. . . . .Sigh!?

Athena. She sits atop the courthouse, maybe 100' up there.
She happens to be made from redwood, spear and all.You should really be trying to deal with Greek, not Latin. It's more boring.

I'm up.
And I've been looking at Europeans on sandstone and limestone.
Are you back in the USSA or still in Poland?
Post up a good pic of your trip, if you would.
Sounds like you are healthy lately and that's great!
I visited the Valley on the seventh. Here are a few shots I've not posted.
MCR--upper part of Pillar of Frenzy.
LCR skyline.
MCR above The Flakes & Gunshight Gully.
Hope I'm healthy enough for the Facelift & see you there if I am, my friend.

Old friend of mine, Julio Guerra, is hooked up with a fine lady artist and musicalist named Nedra Russ, living near Plymouth, CA, last I knew.
Julio is a great guy, used to hang out and play guitar with Mark McAllister, one of the original Flames. Bluegrass is his thing now.
Julio and Nedra have been writing songs together and gigging with friends, too.
He posts as Julioinglasses.

This is the end of trail rides in Yosemite Valley and Tuolumne Meadows.
The loop trips in the High Sierra camps will be allowed to continue, however.

Here, Mouse, thank you for the dancers and for the butterfly. The butterfly reminded me . . .
Origin of ENTOMOLOGY
French entomologie, from Greek entomon insect (from neuter of entomos cut up, from en- + temnein to cut) + French -logie -logy — more at tome
First Known Use: 1766
Be well.

Some time ago I used to run Mulholland Drive. Various routes.
Never saw one celebrity, not even donini. Did see some tree people and the aftermath of some nasty accidents.
[Click to View YouTube Video]
L.A. is not all concrete and blacktop. Just mostly. Hollywood Bowl there in the middle. Saw some good shows there: Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Jazz Festival, Beach Boys, Maria Muldaur, Commander Cody. I did see some celebrities in the audience.
