HOT KMFM.
Canned touch this.
SYED SHAMIM & TASHA MANSHAHAR - RAGU RAGU

In homage to the Monster.
There use ta be
a setc here in Merced
devoted to Hot Tomatoes.
Most of them were employed by Ragu
who
opened a processing plant here
which made tomato paste,
without which spaghetti don't fly.
My job with the barrel plant was seasonal for years until seniority kicked in.
We made 55-gallon steel drums with a special lining that resisted the acid in tomato paste.
The plants were next door on Cooper Avenue, which I've always appreciated, as coopers are barrel-makers.Point being that since all this Ragu employment was seasonal, and their well-being depended on the crop,
the devotees prayed and created recipes for tomatoes as a way of honoring the great deities,
Hot Tomatoes.
WANI feat. JUZZTHIN - LEPASKAN
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZCMHT-iu3k
"Can I get some hot tomatoes, please?"
"Amen to that!"
"Second!"
"Hear! Hear!"
"Ragu-ragu! Ragu-ragu!"
Hubba-hubba!

I Love Scabs
I love scabs
But scrapes and cuts
When they're infected
Will drive you nuts
They ooze and bleed
But scabs are nice
When crusty crisp
Take my advice
Stick a fork in your fist
Put your hand on a plate
Season to taste
Scabs taste great
So next time you're hungry
And missed a meal
Pull up a chair
You've got scabs to peel
They're highly nutritious
Now it's no lie
Just fall off a bike
For a fresh supply
You may think it's gross
But believe it or not
Like finger nails
Or a bowl full of snails
Those scabs taste great
But a bucket of snot
Will do in a pinch
If that's all you've got
-bushman
Hopefully, I can only go up from here.

The old Ragu plant's done gone with the winds of change now.
Lots of people got severed.
They were literally dumped--just like a load of green tomatoes for the cattle to feed on
so they, too, can become meat-flavored pasta sauce.
I found a dime today.
That makes ten cents.
I guess for ten cents I can stick around and tell you all about how
A scent is not a journey up a mountain but up the Nose.
The scent of cooking tomatoes wafting through the town from the west end to the east end was part of living here in the summer. So is the wonderful (to Me, to whom it matters) aroma of onions being processed out at the Livingston plants.
http://sensientnaturalingredients.com/
The distinctly Yosemite talus smells, of bay, of oak, of pine and of cedar.
The aroma from a steaming cuppa Joe in camp.
And the absolutely sovereign smell of the Sierra Nevada foothills, tarweed.
The hotter the night, the greater the odor. I know if I'm smelling it I'm close to home. Close enough, anyway.
The hot metal smell of a driven piton. Sacrifices we must make to save what we love. Glad to have done it, actually. Gotta do what you need to do. Need to do what you gotta do.
The Scent of a Woman, if you know what I mean.
Hoo-wah!
O-whoa-ho!
edit: The smells of Ben Gay, tincture of iodine, and patchouli masking certain other, more organic, smells in the microbus.

Ever Goggled your avatar?
I did.
By raking the muck from the sludge in the bed of the Internetsee, I was shown these by Goggle Images.
A beauty, by DMT.Another keeper, by mfm.National Geo, showing Bridge Creek, yielding this when I "visited that page."

I could go on, but go goggle yourselves.

Recipes from Jumping for Joy of Cooking: Campfire meals for Dirtbags
Scab Louie.
Remove scabs whole.
They should be firm enough to peel right off, but not too dry.
If they're a little dry, soaking a few minutes in a nice cheap Chardonnay is a way to go. Your wine rack may vary.
Purists prefer Fern Spring water. I say la ti da, you poser.
Go bake your boogers.
Where was I?
There are ways to preserve scabs for later use in another section of this recipe book.
But this is what is normal for most Louie salads.
Chopped scabs work best.
Evenly divide lettuce, cucumbers, scabs, shrimp, avocado, tomatoes and eggs between 4 salad plates.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, chili sauce, relish, salt and pepper.
Bon apetit.

Hey, more cow belle!
Oh, it's an extended play video, eh?
I can dig it, as I eat my Cream O' Wheat, and listen to the sound of the tea kettle.
Sometimes I'll let it run on and fill the room with its steamy vibes, doing my lungs a favor, and being all cheerful and HOT.

Find the spot to burn in the center of the depression (in the middle of the yard) All to avoid any interactions with the Burches behind me. The stone wall thieving, ne ha bores.
Thus a quick search to see if any stones from the stone row are left.
The walking stones sit in a double circle, 100 feet into his yard, around exteriorly, vented sump-pump,
turned into a fountain.
The house is all electric, a parcel that was available for 4 years at least.
the adjacent "protected" Wet Lands,?
They were not immediately for sale,
with the already cumbersome 'floating nature' of the houses.
due to of the faulty Perc. tests
that had been used to build the 2 houses
that sit railroad car style on a Flag lot.
The judge, in charge of the foreclosure let the interior property be sold with out the swamp.
The Land Trust that carries the wet lands has no teeth and every one for oneself free for all was the result so that was what sat and sat as prices & values fell ,not so much taxes costs mold growth. . .
these properties sit down hill from older septics than mine & mine plus about 35 more.
I am jealous of my neighbors plight, apparently, the fit was right , he got the deal if and now the extra to
runs of his solar panels that sit directly under his electric run converted to yard wood , wood burning fireplace that with a baby, he should have running, thru June.
Last year at this time I was climbing. This year iv got a stranger than dirt knee thing going on. Im pushing through mostly but that is not what up, it is some new to me strain from when a few years ago i told that Kneeling iz verboten!,, ? how, exactly is that supposed to work
Sen In The Clowns. . . Joni did I load it somewhere already. and A Merlot with that, caber nay saveyer grapes. ..THAT IS NOT RIGHT still not retryStill way to much flow
Crack of dawn, I'm gone and back again,
but off the desk
so I can't link the paste
wait a bit
In an answer to a question about climbing from the GT ledge as if on a wall for the day,
The corner is the start for the 2nd pitch, of Psychedelic, but that his poor example.
There are some amazingly well suited spots that adhere to the 1 rule, Stay Out Of The Way,
A Good example is the 3man station on the 2nd pitch on Modern Times.
I put my belayer at the top of the flake, under the roof, at the start of the crux on Modern Times
There is a need to check for what I call slag or the piles of accumulated rock that needs to bee secured when occupying a spot on fixed lines.
Be very attentive to Not Cross any routes, Do Not be under any routes . Stay 'out of the way' , of other climbers.
There are Various climbs that go up from the GT ledge .
in & on the edges of the chimney/corner system.
These are more independent 1 pitch play things.
Some place to HANG, When the High Exposure ledge is crowded.
The corner is the start for the 2nd pitch, of Psychedelic,
Not so much for that climb or the other things there,
Some that are wide ugly loose,
often wet
but
to provide a staginging area for climbing off the Gt ledge for a day.
A staging area that is easy to set just below the ledge
( rope high) or on the ledge, deep in the corner, out of the way.(Best? Ymmv) .
Hay weeooo hells wells and all bells that is what it is so deal,
Now
What new der punks?
gottsz junkxz,
nee bee showed a shaker shocker this morn. . .
Allergy time here it is as high as the new scale goes ,
that was why the New scale,
so coming next month
The New, new scale to 22 this time too.

There's a fine piano recital going on over on neebee's Facebook pages and continual soiree and let me tell you, she shines, if you ask me.
And she has some ideas she will expound on having to do with the creative process.
I'm pretty positive about that.
Cosmic's got his list

You'll not want to've missed
Her playing--I insist
Give her your ear. I thank you and neebee might. I don't know. I'm not positive about that. It's likely. 99%, anyway.

Fifty Miles of Bad Road
Cat_chy tune
Is that a cat in your axle or are you just glad to see me?
For didactic purposes, had that cat been properly harnessed and roped up, it could have been easily extracted by just pulling on the cord.
Let this be a lesson to all of you adventurers out there.

We're turning into Animal Planet, swear to GOTD! I mean Godt.
From the camera's angle on that last turn it appeared those logs might swing a bit wide and take out some of that HUGE crowd.
Try Scatman's world, very sorta Middle Earthy.[Click to View YouTube Video]
And yet, I'm coughing up mucous at an alarming rate; having that steamy air really broke stuff up earlier.
I'll be doing my tele-health check and having a nap experience.
Keep the planet safe while I'm visiting Morpheus.

Hunger Flames
Down through the chasm of doom and dark gloom
In the Gruelfaschen's chamber where the Flamenvix rules
In the fumarole steamed and the brine stench filled room
Vaulted stalagmites forebodes o'er we fools
Huddled and bowed with our sweat dripped brows
Winded as harried our contingent near drowned
Nauseous and trembling we waited there cowed
As the Flamenvix entered and sauntered on down
Holding her scepter of withered thorned vine
Draped in a raiment of hemlock I saw there
Liquid her eyes in white features so fine
Crawling en mass all the scorpions in her hair
Her irises then focuses and flames in them flicked
Withered by her gaze but I looked up again
But turned my gaze downward lest by guards we get kicked
Worried for my welfare and that of my friends
(To be continued)

Why Thank You, Mouse.
You know, I sent that same email to more than twenty people, and two of you read countertenor instead of contralto.
Since the cruel, slave-driving boss gave me part of the day off for brilliantly solving a thorny strategic problem for a client, I am listening to my music list and also reading W. H. Murray's Mountaineering in Scotland, where I came across this quote about Murray and Bell's first ascent of Parallel Buttress on Lochnagar:
"Bell dug into his rucksack and produced—I wish that one could write in a whisper—two pitons. Their use is frowned upon by many British mountaineers. Like the queen of Spain's legs, a piton not only ought never to be seen, but must not be supposed to even exist. Its use, in fact, should be sparing and reserved for exceptional circumstances. Bell and I solemnly declared that this was an exceptional circumstance. It qualified with honors." p.127 in 1947 edition.
Isn't that just some of the best writing? I am simply smiling with the delight at his wordsmithing—forget the great humor in Bell sneaking a couple of pitons up Lochnagar! The entire book has this excellently sardonic, slightly self-deprecatory subtle sense of humor that relies on the understatement, and which I find amusing.
I now turn back to Murray and Bell on Lochnagar and also back to Bach, while outside, the snow falls slaunchwise and the wind sets the trees dancing. We generally get a good blizzard on 15 April. I leave it to the imagination of the reader to discover if there is any connection between this special date and sky-water crystals.
Thank you for the beautiful Tribal singing.
Back to Bach and Scotland. :)

This has turned into a windy day comparable to the best that the US political scene has to offer.
Tonight's telly will carry stories like this one.
Mariah trumps all candidates
Sheer volume of noise drowns out contenders.
Crowds cowed by awesome display of Nature's power.
"It went on for hours. We all thought there was a train rushing by at first, but soon I couldn't hear Congressman Cruz standing next to me."--young Republican
"I was never so embarrassed. That thing ended up in the next block. It's beyond reclaiming."--the Donald, after his hairpiece went flying and was blown through an alley full of gross stuff n' sh#t
In another, related story..,
Kirkwood closes for the day
High winds threaten ski lifts.
"I blame it on Obama."--Andrzej "Bunny the Moose" Citkowitz, ski nut
"It was blowing harder than (pick your favorite blowhard)."--anonymouse
