I'd have given him my Grateful Dead shirt to wear to heaven (pictured above), but I'd already given it to my cat Buster. Funny how we'll even give the shirts off our backs to our feline and canine buddies.

Moosedrool, thank you for the "head up."*
I witnessed one of these blood moons in '82, I believe it was, with my daughter, who was not yet five, from the Shirley residence in Box Canyon, high above the towns of Chatsworth and Canoga Park in the Dan Fernando Valley and will always remember how CLOSE it seemed and how MAGNIFIED it was!
I'd love to be someplace special to photograph this event, like in the hills.
Or even in the hills north of town, my pet walking area, which is now covered in green for just a few weeks more.
*A 'head up' is for one guy, a 'heads up' is for multiple persons, you dig?
Real James Ellroy fans know about bloody moons.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_on_the_Moon_(novel);
Some Moon Man on the drum kit.

And that closes out this page with a bang, my friends.
Be sure to check out this new volume of literature based on himself. Moosedrool On the Moon: Ways to enjoy a sabbatical. $5.95 pbk. (cheap).

Stuff way back in his mind..."
He has put it down on paper with his pen and with his ink
(For him it's a silly caper) for us to read and us to think.

T.Hanks for the memory loss.Items in his head after all this time alone include these: "Is this South or North Laguna? Is it still Friday? Is my short still in Long-Term Parking? Where's Ron gone off to?"

A post from a dude named Robert on another channel...about fleas and sugar from Cuba.
I remember when Castro came to power.
It didnt' mean anything to me...I was only 8 or 9 years old. But i remember watching TV and The Tonight Show was on. (He [Steve Allen, host] was the predecessor to Jack Parr who preceded Johnny Carson who went before Jay Leno for all you x-generators here). Steve Allen sat down at the piano and started his own impromptu, Cuban Style Salsa of Batista Flees which was the headline of the NY TIMES when all this came about.
It's funny, the things we remember.
Robert
I have remembered this song, as well.
It went like, "My dog has Batista fleas...yada yada yada."
And the Bircheff Bros. stayed for a few years in the off-season on Avenida de las Pulgas, while Dave worked at a metal-plating gig, I think.
It pays to remember the small things, sometimes. Not this time, especially, but some of the time...
A lot of it is just noise.

It's not raining. I wish that it were raining. It would be nice to simply walk out and splash puddles.
"This drought is ferocious isn't it, Ringo?"
"Yes, John, it certainly is feronious. We should work up Bog Dylan's song about droogs--we might get another chart-topper."
"That would be topping, lad!"
"Aye, wouldn't it?"

Moosedrool is precious. It will grow excellent cabbages and lettuces when applied in a conscientious program of drip irrigation using refined drool and regular professional checkups by such as Khanom or Vicky.
There is still a chance for a decent pea crop this year...and possible whirled peas for us all. But it's a decidedly desperate chance.[Click to View YouTube Video]

There are hobbles...and there are worse things than hobbles. This seems like one.
Sanskara, hope you get up and cracking soon. This must be a painful experience.
I'd like to say rSin is doing better, but he's having to deal with a hole in his gut daily, the result of his much-delayed hernia surgery, last I heard.
On the plus side of today's ledger, I saw this old warhorse yesterday. It's the size of two or more Le Cars, I'll bet.

Jeff called from his mom's yesterday...I failed to answer in time.
No one answered when I responded...Phone tag is simply a crime.
I can't seem to get this new phone to work properly...I'm so Twentieth Century.

I stumbled toward the curtains and pulled them.
My mouth fell open in amazement. All I could see was blue.
Blue sky. Blue sea.
The sun reflected in the crests of tiny waves that dazzled the surface like diamonds, though the water appeared entirely smooth and undisturbed.
Blue. All shades of blue, unpaintably similar shades.
Sapphire. Indigo. Cerulean. Azure. Turquoise.
And so many other types of blue I could never identify.
So much blue, it had ceased to be blue at all and had became green and purple.
And in the sea, boats with their single masts, sunning themselves like lazy turtles.
I squinted, shaded my eyes, and tried to separate objects from glare.
I could vaguely make out the hulk of an island in the distance and another farther away, a hazy mirage on the horizon: to the left of my view, the remains of a castle with a round tower surrounded by ruined green walls.
