I cannot even see the courthouse in the park this morning.
A DARK AND FOGGY NIGHT
I stopped
inside a light house
on a dark and foggy night
and in the beacon
in the fog
I saw far too many sights.
Lovers lost in their pasts
uncompleted tasks
of shoulda coulda wouldas
"If only's"
blocking their
paths.
The ferrel human beings
with eyes of gold
but no money
to buy a room
running to nowhere soon.
The poetry outlaws
with no words
left to sing
lost within their prisons
and know one knows
what they mean.
The beacon flashed
and in the light
I saw those
trapped in drudgery
and fading dreams
of being free.
And lonely souls
in darkened rooms
of four white walls
with no where to go
and no one coming that they know.
The beacon flashed
in that fog
the horn it rang
to no one listening
but the ships lost at sea
heard something
but asked themselves
was it really meant for me?
It
Spotlighted lovers
on the far sides
of the bed
their love lost
in what is now
misery and dread.
Wage slaves breathing toxic air
and what's this life for
their breath asks
captured in the foggy air.
Stopped at that lighthouse
to look out at that foggy sea
was all about the poetry
and what it means to me
a light
on a foggy
populated sea
and
life told in scenes
about
those who struggle to be free.

Could be that a bolt of lightning has struck the courthouse out of shape.
Anyway, that and this dime will get about $2 million. Coffee extra.
Ever wonder how many less ST posts there would be if you had to correct all your typos with white-out? At GE* progress is our most important product.

A Brocken spectre (German Brockengespenst), also called Brocken bow or mountain spectre,
is the apparently enormous and magnified shadow of an observer, cast upon the upper surfaces of clouds opposite the sun.
The phenomenon can appear on any misty mountainside or cloud bank, even when seen from an aeroplane, but the frequent fogs and low-altitude accessibility of the Brocken,
a peak in the Harz Mountains in Germany, have created a local legend from which the phenomenon draws its name.
The Brocken spectre was observed and described by Johann Silberschlag in 1780,
and has since been recorded often in literature about the region.
The "spectre" appears when the sun shines from behind the observer, who is looking down from a ridge or peak into mist or fog.
The light projects their shadow through the mist, often in a triangular shape due to perspective.

This artificial Spectre of Brocken with fogbow was taken April 14, 2003 in the Brocken Mountains in central Germany. A helium lamp, positioned behind the photographer, was used to illuminate this very thick fog layer – the visibilty was less than about 5 m.
Bow de oh doh!

nee bee, we are on at the same moments with the same thoughts!
This was a contender for the great tree thread, it is a great Root Ball
also not much of a change from the location of the foggy Gazeebo,
The actual name and original purpose of these structures are
Summer house(s) and in the way back days of yor, the hotel guest would sleep out in them.

Thnx Doc. . . And right bac atcha'
ACHOO at choo, sniffle wipe away some spittle
God bless
4 drafts of a a pm and I've not hit send
I'm in debt to to mfm,
Each of the letters ends
Hey thnx, man see you in flames. . .
I saw that DMT has a Guy wearing a grass skirt on his dash board.
I saw this snap in the beautiful Decay thread. .
What 'magic' do others use to loose the border around each snap?
And defeat the ability to enlarge the picture with a tapp
To have No id number that holds the picture in the ST photo library?
I assume it is a trick that needs a faceplanted account. . .im not going there
Since I fell in March of hell, I have become a junkie to the medium
and that from only going here and there and YouTube.
Intervention and reduced exposure to tablets and computers helped.
Seems that as much as I would like to be a internet jokey . .
I'm just a jockey of the mundane
Riding a saddle-less steed into the coming night
2016? Be still my hart ~ where is my beloved 1981 ?
When the ouster from the norm held a double pearl
Twins of silica, spun into gems of freedom and Yosemite
All the water over the falls now frozen in my fading memory
I wonder too who first climb a widows tears,
wasn't it me and you? In our dreams I'm sure you beat me to it
Happy new year to all and wishes of
a year of real improving health to Every one
especially our host still with most the finest
The eclectic mfm

Thnx doc...
Eclectic is its own reward.
I sing the eclectic body, the eclectic body I sing:
"Bring back, bring back, bring back my old body to me, Twomey.
"And a set of the new clothes that were sewn for the emperor, as well."

A rack of hardware, a jug of Fern Spring, and thee,
Tis all that's needed to feel Absolutely Free.
And a couple of Clif Bars and a stopwatch would be nice, too.
Then we can spray a little when we get back in camp.

HOW YOU SPRAY !
IT IS GOOD TO SAY
Hello to another new day
but this and that
That so few can now evaluate or see the value of.
has left us to contemplate our Navels(Oranges in Cali)
While High up on the walls I love the endeavor is being re-written.
The women and men who stood in the meadows way back when
took on the challenges, with innovations dreamt up under the influence
of all things & love
with mettle plumbers tape and hardware store kit,
WE took to the walls for passions' sake,
to escape was not the game
it was to survive,. . . to thrive on pennies and dirt and grime,
We were the 1st and only true punk rockers,
AND
I Told them so. . .
told the The Stimulators(LOUD FAST RULES)
The Bad Brains & H Rollins too,
You guys are weak sauce, I said, with all this junk noise and twisted vision
The Real scene of depravity.
and the Phoenix rising from the ashes of post modern society
is happening On the walls of Yosemite
and then I came to Mecca and realized what dreams I could. . .
Now with the explosion of the indoor 1st and a demand for it to be survivable fun,
a pastime not a way of life
much of what grew us up
has been lost for ever
forever lost
You could always hang your way up and many of us did too but the verb to climb meant so much more before the technology caught up with our dreams
THANK you Duce, It was time and past time for many when A5 put it out and made it Light and fast
BOUCHARD
WILDTHINGS
FLY WELL, AND STAY STRONG, you KINGS of "HART BEAT" VALLEY.

I assume it is a trick that needs a faceplanted account. . .im not going there
an account with (photobucket,flickr, or other) hosts your uploaded image and the path? that leads to it looks like this:
http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad342/hooblie_photo/DSC05426.jpg
sandwich that between {IMG}and{/IMG} but with square brackets in the supertopo text editor box at the point you want a picture to appear ...
and cmac (or RJ) will drive over to wherever that other service's server is and get that image and come back here with it
and hold it up for us to view which is why upon close inspection you see knuckles showing where the frame should be

Aw shucks, you just white it out, with your white-out power thunderstick.
Getting bordered and borderless to display side-by-side. That's harder.
