Speaking of balaclavas floating down the River Void
And of Old Camp Fortran photos, etc., brings to mind
like an old photo postcard
sent years back
never to be delivered
until yesterday
this came for me
from me
though at the time it was written
by me
I never thought it was that good
it has stood a test of time
it is a classic by the loosest definition
"The Dog Nanny"
The dame I'm watching is a Shepherd.
She in turn is watching a bug crawl by her nose.
Such a vast difference in size!
As I watch them, I wonder
Who might be watching me?
I can believe in gods, or "a God,"
In beings being greater than I can see
In reality or in my mind's eyes.
I would like to believe in a female Shepherd,
Benevolent, watchful, and unworried
That I might eventually figure out Her game
And thus spoil the surprise.
I lean silently down as she sniffs her new-found pet
And I gently whisper in her big old ear,
"Boo, Dawg!"
She rolls over on her back and wags her tale.
I hope that I am able to do the same
When some mythtical Dame
Leans down and gently whispers my name:
Flame...

It's Sunday once more.
More Than a Nod to God
Don't want no stormy Monday
Just a pleasant valley Sunday
And I hope that maybe one day
You'll answer my question
"What say?"
Brother Keith sez:
"Send me $76.99 in cash, check, or money order to this address--
Feet of Mountain Climbing Ministries
PO Box 541446
Grand Prairie, TEXAS"

This is quite a story. This speaks more to me than the bible. This man is a man who has been blessed and just wants to share it.
I'm not being snide, because it's with pride that I say I love the life I have and believe I'm in the palm of the hand which is accompanied by the fickle fingers of fate.
You may say it's a Christ-based life. That's a term which is to me more accurate than "Christian life," because "Christian" means so many things, like a mutineer or a minister. Witness the number of sects and reformed churches associated with the name.
I passed by the old building, all of twenty years old, of the First Baptist Church, now the Love Church of Merced, the other day. I wondered about whether there were secondary Baptists and so I went to the internet to Czech on that.
I was touched by this group of ladies' effort to THANK their friendly neighborhood guys.
The music's not that bad, either.

And that brings us to the end of today's services.
Go in peace to love and serve your choice of Lords.
And don't forget that tonight is the long-awaitedNathan/Pickles third rematch.

It was a dog-fight, as one can clearly see.
For now, I say, "Later; and be glad I did not post Pleasant Valley Sunday by The Monkees."
Instead, The Flames takes pride in presenting:

Even in death, Rev. Ike tried to keep the hustle going that made him a millionaire many times over. "In lieu of flowers," Ike Ministries announced before its scheming patriarch was cold to the touch, "Rev. Ike would ask that tributes and/or Offerings be sent to: Rev. Ike Ministries ..."

I have read but two words
Female Shepard !!??
The tail tale that I tell is true true but you won't believe it
The wife still reads on adinfenitem the pets lists, she may have moved on from Craig's list
Or not but she hands me a honey do list that is often peppered with be sure to see
Or the dreaded call this number

This needs to go down now this second
The thing is it's a weekend of the obscene
The drive to grand mad' sure to be hell both ways
A hundred mile haul past all the rock
to sit on an uncomfortable folding chair
and watch other people drink,
the whole thing while smiling if we can remember to do that.
So in the honey do list was the Call this number note it said;
Chekzz shepard pups? All black Totowa by 80 and a number.
I am dutiful if tepid as to another dog so I called.
The answering machine recited a different number that I did not
Note, and I left a short message and my number,.
Ten minutes tops the phone rings it is 201-221 -1555
Now I know you are all seeing that and
You all are not daft enough to think it real!
no one will call and ask if Ahmed has puppies please.
The language that we communicated in was seemingly
Okay I was clear he was clear about things I did not ask or want to know
Until he said he has a three year old girl dog that was not suitable for his needs , his program he says that the pups go for big bucks to cops and the like but the three year old has had one litter and is not fixed.
I am sure he was interested in some cash transfer we left it vague.
Now that is just the trip that I am tripping on as I am not yet over the clusteredphuck that driving across the Hudson River is I am forced to relive pitch by pitch in my mind illegal climbs on the Pallisades. As I sit in "I kiss my wife and children with this mouth, up against your mothers rear ended,tail pipe, traffic on the Tappanzee Bridge.
The biggest best project that I have now failed to record twice is the building of another bridge
Across the Hudson that is ongoing, and a marvelous photo op.
Anyway the doggie question is so driven home by all the posts and the stoic in me is or was gonna hold out but
The fact that I was able to here the words Totowa and Female Shepard on Mother's Day from a sleepy dog breeder makes me think she needs us pronto!
We shall see!

What about Zorro did you want to know, Marlow?
He's not eligible for flamehood. I think it's because he's gay, can't speak in English, and owns a Volvo.
Those are some truly graceful looking objects, though the Tom Brown's a bit of a cudgel compared to a surgical blade.
We thank you for this morning's contribution, because, frankly, I was tired and not in a very creative state a few hours ago. It's Monday Morning Malady--it seems to strike retired folks as well as the enslaved, but just not nearly so often.
I think Susan the SCSeaGoat, is immune to it, however; and neebee is beyond its reach most of the time, too, I'm thinkn'.
Ennui. You can have it!
Thinkin' of Susan, knives, and groups of people who work in synch brought me to this subject (nothing to do with drink).

Marlow knows nothing about Sorry, but a little bit about Carlo Mauri who shared the FA of Gasherbrum IV with Walter Bonatti and sailed with Norwegian Thor Heyerdahl during the Ra and Tigris expeditions.

I think hard before leading any thing solo and even top rope soloing has lost its shine.
I have three climbs I do laps on that are fixed with pins, directionals that are old #3 &2 angles.
They creak a bit when I yard side ways, I wish I had not done that it has me thinking about the pins not the climbing.One Bad Azz Wabbit. I dare ya' punk car bumper or not!

Dear Gnome,

Rocked that rockfish. Google eyes like that...take it and eat it, Marlow.
Maybe MooseDrool would like some, too.
"The Talon" A3 Mud/"The Eagles Claw"
The video of the Heyerdahl Tigris Expedition is a fine testament to the need to work with others and to cooperate.
Thank you for posting that, Marlow! Cheers, amigo!

Would Hasherbrum, there, be the scenter of Idyllwild?I don't get it.
Is that dog a republican's dog?
Deep mystery here.
No mystery here: It's simply the first time any of them have ever seen one!
Great photo, Chris, so funny!

this is Dina (we think ) her owner is a breeder of dogs he thinks are for service and so they are his puppies from two different czech shepards were amazing as all puppies are . Iam into rescue, and Dina has had Nine pups from one litter and is three years old - says
Ahmed Shawannawa, or there abouts?! a sleezy but not all bad Breeder he got schnookerd with her and bred her any way, now he says she eats to much and is no good for his program,
I will take her and pay to have her fixed but I will not pay him much of any-thing I hope.

you know why chicken coops have two doors? because, if it had four doors, it would be a chicken sedan.
