Bent-on Undisciplined determination a disministration adetermined undeterred destruction
you need a truss word for a tougher mistress

*Why A Tuffer Misstruss?*
If you still will need a safe word


WILL WILL do? or is IT it?
Is It IT? or Will WILL be enuff
Is ENOUGH safe word ENOUGH
Wouldn't Especially be better?
wood, enough, especially, better, choose one

Ah? don't get me started

too late

With a better tougher mistress,
would any safe word be Enough

state meant a quest, Chung,
Connie, wait are we back to the missed tresses

like is there un wanted hair? is here a wanton one? well, one alone never, depends where, or does it? never one alone

Be it grate or great its taking home the prize
 bonded in bounded out

A man with a plan
that palindrome thing
Who cares? a canal
Pelandrum? Palindrome?
before a Bing check
giggles head aches
Googles spelling miss takes

No take a way a way to take a way
A trebble thret to A triple threat
I don't get it yet

The Central San Joaquin Valley will get a brief respite from the wet weather before freezing conditions give way to more rain on Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service in Hanford.

As for Sunday, cold temperatures and periodic showers were expected to round out the day from Merced to Kern County, with snow falling in the foothills and Sierra.

As cloud cover decreases, a freeze watch will take hold in the Valley from Monday night into Tuesday morning. Temperatures will dip to between 28 and 32 degrees, most likely between 3 a.m. and 8 a.m.

A cold front could bring more showers to the region Wednesday night into Thursday, the weather service said. Not much rain is forecast, but snow levels will be low.

“We could not rule out a few flurries below 1,000 feet in elevation early Thursday morning as the (rain) ends,” a weather service report read.

Temperatures will be in the low 50s across the Valley for the week, topping out at 57 in Fresno on Saturday, 55 in Merced.

Snow will follow the same pattern in the mountains. It will taper off after 4 p.m. Sunday, then pick up again on Wednesday evening, leaving less than an inch of accumulation.

Areas inside Yosemite National Park could dip down to 4 degrees Tuesday, while daytime highs will be in the lower to mid 20s throughout the week.

A Winter Weather Advisory for the southern Sierra Nevada foothills is set to expire at 4 p.m. Sunday. The same goes for a Winter Storm Warning for the southern Sierra Nevada mountains, which dropped heavy snow on Saturday.

Hail fell in some Valley cities on Saturday.

But not here.

Online last night with Larry Jones, his brother (another Brian), who lives in Oregon, says this in an email about weather:

We’ve had a lot of rain up here, and the Willamette Valley has gotten a lot of rain as well. But then that’s what we expect here in Oregon. I have to say, the fact that a place is known for some extreme condition does not keep the locals from complaining. Oregonians whine about the rain; Iowans whine about the snow and cold; Californians whine about earthquakes; Hawaiians whine about lava flows. Just human nature, I guess.

Think Pineapples, I'm sayin'.

We were hauling on the eternal rope of consciousness connected to every living being
As all good sailors do,
When we saw ol' Cap'n Arab,
And his scurrilous, nasty crew.
And I forget the rest.
Tough it out.
It's too bad, too, because it had potential as
a highly sardonic, non-linear dreamscape parallel cataloguing
of the discovery, creation and merits of Middle Earth.
I'll try to make it up to you guys when I feel like it.
It was the day following my and Bob's birthday.

hey there say, mouse... awww... i love those birds...

:)



say, also...
i am TONIGHT/TOMORROW?, working on the copies of the
directions (to make it easier) for the origami...

i've been doing them, too...


if you can't do some... find the ones that you really enjoy
(some of the birds, perhaps) and, each day, just

make-- a bird ... to give to someone, in town... or, save them up:

for a BIRD DAY! (NOT birthday, but, say, THAT would be nice too) ...
i am going to start putting them in birthday cards,
now that i have been able to buy stamps, on my own...


:)



happy 'bird day' fun, to you, our man-on-the-street...


if you DO make birds, though-- they can't go in water, like our
charming bird-friends in your sweet photo....
hee hee, for obvious reasons...

Is There A Spell-Checker For Emojis?
Part Two.

Blinking blinking blinking
Thinking and winking my lids to the beat of the light
I begin to feel solid but still very slight
And I step across boldly even though it's not right
And I care not if they're watching
And disappear in the night.

At my age, I still think that there is an audience for my actions,
When they mostly all left the theater over fifty years ago.
I've been giving performances to myself and I must be good at it
Because I've never had any complaints from him.
It's a good thing I don't have to wind the iPhone.
He'd forget to do it half the time.
(end of part one)
......................................................

I reappear in the wink of my eye
Right here and now,
But there are eyes on me.
They are predatory and I am just prey.
All men are prey.
What makes men pray?
The fact that they realize they are not hunters.
They are food for greater beasts.
Ape-man is designed so, or has evolved so.

My pupils dilate and I stare like an idiot
At every movement that I detect with them.
Color is secondary to movement.
This, and the fact that I have no claws,
My teeth are tiny and my jaws are relatively weak,
Coupled with being unable to fly,
To run very fast or far,
To swim at more than a crawl,
And climbing away from danger? HAH!
I am old and weak, now, as well...
Might as well face it, I'm someone's food.

And I'm not half as clever as I think I am.
I'm toast. I'm gonna be leftovers.
Might as well face it.

Might as well face it...
Hmmm...
Might as well stop running scared,
Turn around and stand my ground,
And face what's there or not there.
It's what Gunny tried to tell us in Boot.
He would tell us that he earned his meager pay
By getting us to become killers,
To make us into machines that killed
And made no bones about it.

"YOU! Jagov! What did I just tell you?"
"Kill or be killed, Drill Sergeant."
"That's right. And you will ALWAYS be watching for what, Private Numbnuts?"
"Movement, Drill Sergeant."
"What about color, Private Major?"
"What color, Sergeant? How high?"
"Christ. I could be just as well off trying to turn my wife into Jane Russell
As trying to turn you apes into killers."

But he did and I have killed...
And killed and killed and killed.
And the only thing I have to show for it is my life.
And a stack of vintage Clint Eastwood VHS tapes.
And Full Metal Jacket.

you have to wonder, this next one is the only post from "Ken Reed" I knew a Kenny week(s) who was a van driver for a florist.
He may have been altered & might have run a red light in the white florists' van on Valentine's day.
The ensuing crash killed a woman, Kenny was found guilty.... don't know whatever happened to Kenny,
I dated his kid sister a 2nd time around, after the trial....
Thnx Ken
