Regarding the church: (note lower case) I was taught by some super cool nuns, but also found a lot of "covering up" going on as I got older and began to understand more of the problems in the church. I was always a better Quaker, anyway.
Easter Proclamation Abolishes Papacy
Very interesting times, but I think lovingkindness and creativity, cooperation and voluntarism will carry humans through this. There are a remarkable number of good people here on Earth.
In human history, this just past era of 500 years or so may be referred to as the era of the last Reformation, and now I think we are entering the next Renaissance. What an amazing time to be alive! I think the media will try to keep us in fear, so I feel pretty strongly that we must hold fast to Faith, and not give in to all the fear mongering.
Anyway, MFM, you have managed to gather lots of Renaissance people around you. And I am not sure that guy would make a good LEO: I'd expect more honesty. But I know I am naive about things sometimes.
Gnome, I missed all that beautiful music, mostly. Sorry I did not post a tribute, but I don't know who most of them are. I did get to hear B.B. King play live once. I wish I could say I appreciate Blues. I barely appreciate jazz. I am a totally wonky classical person, having been reared with it from an impressionable tender age. And of course Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash when I was with the Texas contingent of the family. :) Sizzling steaks on the grill and "Ring of Fire". Many in my family, having some Scottish blood, are "Red-headed Strangers" and some are truly strange, but lovable.
The mountain bluebirds are nesting on the other side of my Medicine Wheel. The robins are building a nest on a security light, and I am leaving them alone. The flicker is in the new house, so no longer destroying my house walls. Cold and wet here today, so there is a fire going.
Back for a couple more hours of studio time. neebee, watch for an email.
Thank you

EDIT
F. F.
That I have seen and think.
Hmm classical! I need n education in the form,
I was brought up with classical strings and symphony and all.
It puts me right to Sleep so very dangerous in the car.
Where I now listen to music most of the time.
A very funny thing;
Is that my 11yr old boy loves classical, and chooses it over any form of music
They , a girl as well a bit older
Call the dadd-0's music the sound of squishing cats.
Not all, they like James Taylor and Joni, Crosby Stlls & Nash Eagles
My daughter likes American Pie and A Horse With No Name.
When I shared your share with my pissed off betrothed, she echoed your sentiments and wanted to know if you knew how truly peaceful almost all the tru'mercans , Tumericans, (abetter name than Indians )
were.
Almost to a tribe, in areas of plenty, squabbles between tribes were rare and worked out over serious games of capture the flag or Lacrosse ,
Wtf help hello? Hello is there any body out there?. . Wtf . .
The inter web has now pissed off
so I do blame the
Buffalo!

based on the original track,
"Domino"
Don't wannna discuss it
Think it's time for a change
You may get disgusted
Start thinkin' that I'm strange
In that case I'll go underground
Get some heavy rest
Never have to worry
About what is worst or what is best
(Get it)
Oh oh Domino (it's all right)
Roll me over, Romeo, there you go
Lord, have mercy
I said oh-oh, Domino
Roll me over, Romeo, there you go
Say it again
I said oh-ooh-oh Domino
I said oh-ooh-ooh-oh Domino
(Dig It)
[Instrumental]
There's no need for argument
There's no argument at all
And if you never hear from him
That just means he didn't call
Or vice versa
That depends on where ever you're at
(All right)
And if you never hear from me
That just means I would rather not
(Hit it)
Oh oh Domino
(All right)
Roll me over Romeo, there you go
Lord have mercy
I said, oh oh Domino
Roll me over Romeo, there you go
(Hey, all right)
Say it again
Oh-oh-ooh-ooh Domino
(Hey, hit it)
I said oh-ooh-ooh Domino
Well, Mr. DJ I just wanna hear
Some rhythm and blues music
On the radio
On the radio
On the radio
Uh-uh, all right
Uh-uh, all right
Uh-uh, all right
Uh-uh
Hear the band
[Instrumental]
One more time

I don't know about all that determinist an undeterministic claptrap, but I only believe in straight up random chaos and disorder. People in church told me from day one that I was going straight to hell unless I did something about it. For having to put up with all that BS I figure God, if there were one, must owe me something big time. So he better send me a bunch of sheep down there and make sure I got some wide boots and some Velcro gloves for when I get there.

Never.
It's all been said before.
I have an open line to the cosmos in my head.
What goes around comes around.
Like a hurricane, sometimes,
or a hot wind others,
or a gentle breeze
on days like these.
"despite my fleeting attention
i am not the boy
much of my focus
seems turned to
i was intent on the encouragement of dialogue
that sensational accusation would encourage response
didn't turn out that way
but none the less
illustrative of a much deeper degree of control"
--rSin
So accept the things unchangeable, and rest content.

Went out in the Lion Country (OC) park once and watched the vet knock down a giraffe (with tranquilizer gun). Be careful, that's a long fall. Cleaned it's teeth and it was back on it's feet in no time. Ron Anderson was shittin his pants.
This is starting to hit home pretty hard. I'm thinking this was 40+ years ago.
If you have an hour and a half to burn, or are good at multitasking.

Shut UP!
I saw Keith Richards out in the audience! A little Richards goes a looong ways.
What a tribute to Otis. But seriously, LR should be kept far away from BB's memorials, though.

neebee,
Have fun babysitting!
I got to play with the cutest little toddler, whose mom is taking my kiln brick to build a new kiln out at her place. I have permanent firing access, as a part of the sale.
This little guy, Noah, is calm, very self-contained, just barely toddling about, and curious about everything. He came over and handed a stone to me, so I thanked him, and he took my hand and we went for a walk while his mom and another artist friend talked about the moving of the kiln bricks. It was cute, because when he looked back and saw his mom was now farther away, he
turned around and we went back to her. We had gone about six feet away. :)
So, have fun!

fae, you're telling me. Bevin, the always-cheerful one, is a compassionate lawyer, a talented knitter, and has a book finished...I don't know the details on it.
But your telling me that her smile made you smile is makin' me smile. ;0)
Anise, the grandmom, was a model at one time. Her smile is "altered," shall we say.
And Ora Belle, Bevin's great-gm, was model-pretty with a smile that was inherited by my mother.
You know that Marlow has started Another Pottery Thread, right?

This sort of thing makes me happy to be alive.

I woke from a reasonably long sleep (for me) and decided I wasn't gonna fall back into the arms of Morpheus, so I got up, went to the window and raised the blinds.
A minute later I had the tripod set up and recorded this palm-obscured sunrise.
It was meant to happen and you were meant to see it, too.
Wow! It came out well first time!
The rest are not altered except for cropping. I love the gold.

Hi Mouse,
No, I did not know about Marlow. I will look for the pottery thread. That is a nice surprise.
You have excellent foresight to plant a palm tree just where you could use it to dodge photos of beautiful sunrises. :) I enjoy your photography skills displayed here. Those clouds on the horizon and the peeping sun make lovely images. Thank you.
It's still raining here, after a night of heavy rain, but no one is complaining. Having to breathe smoke all summer is no fun. We get a lot of smoke from Canada, Idaho, and Washington being pushed over the Divide by the prevailing winds. But these rains will help keep things from burning.
And typing of Winds, I am headed down that way in a few days to scatter some of Doug's ashes from his favorite perch on a wall, to attend a memorial service for a dear friend of ours who was one of my climbing partners down there, to scatter red ochre on the family graves out at Fort Washakie, and to say prayers for each loved one as we sing to the four directions.
Your daughter has a lovely and kind face, and to be one of the rare attorneys who has a compassionate heart is a special blessing for anyone in need of her services. Congratulations to you both.
While I think surgical shape-shifting is up to the individual, it appears to me that people begin to look alike and obviously altered when they begin to engage in that activity. I am sort of enjoying watching my face age into its wise woman pattern, wrinkles and all. I earned this face. Time to go find the Marlow thread...
Thank you

Well, Richard can do no wrong, no matter where he is. Even The Toothpicks (Los Palillos) love Senor Richardito.
Interestingly enough, the Palillos house(you could call it safe, but it wasn't) is, acccording to Google Maps, nine tenths of one mile from mine.
[District Attorney] Amador stunned the courtroom as he described the heinous crimes including the strangling of victims, then placing the bodies in 55 gallon barrels of simmering acid heated by propane tanks.
When investigators were led to the San Diego ranch of horrors, owned by one of the defendants, a gruesome discovery of bones, body parts and teeth were found in vats containing a brownish gelatin explained Amador.
Although reputed to be an associate of the Tp's, El Pozolero, was never seen in the hood.
The practice of stewing human remains in acid is not an uncommon practice by Mexican organized crime, but almost unheard of happening in the US. The practice was made famous by Jose Santiago Meza, aka "El Pozolero" (stew maker) on whose TJ ranch it was discovered 3 graves filled with body parts and teeth. He confessed a few years ago to liquefying at least 300 bodies in acid for lieutenants of the Arellano Felix drug.
Edit: I have no information on what they thought of BB King. I'll check to see if they still have a functioning website.
Badges found at the TP house. None alleged to have belonged to Clapton.

zB,
Just Yuk! on the stewing story. How do you know this stuff? I hope those badges do not represent slain police officers, though. ff
I am going back to looking at the pictures. :)
Mouse, the video over there on the pottery thread is beautiful. Their work is beautiful. And the music fits the mood I am in when I am working in my studio. There is something calming and joyful about taking a lump of clay and turning it into a thing of beauty. I liked what he posted about the lacquer process as well. I use gold and other metal lusters fired on to some of my work.
Thank you.

ff - they lived right up the street until they got arrested. They are an order of magnitude more evil than your run-of-the-mill gangs roaming around the area. The badges were used to aid them in the kidnappings.
Shades! O'Castaneda
Seeing the World in Ultraviolet Light
UV light is the wave length beyond the visible light from red to violet that humans can see. Humans have a lens that blocks UV from reaching the retina. It was previously thought that most mammals have lenses similar to humans.
Scientists studied the lenses of dead mammals, including cats, dogs, monkeys, pandas, hedgehogs, and ferrets. By researching how much light passes through the lens to reach the retina, they concluded that some mammals previously thought not to be able to see UV actually can.
"Nobody ever thought these animals could see in ultraviolet, but in fact, they do," Ron Douglas, the study leader and a biologist at City University London, England, told LiveScience.
What purpose does being able to see UV light serve for animals such as reindeer, rodents, and other mammals? It allows reindeer to see polar bears, for example, which would be invisible in regular light because they blend in with the snow.
UV light also allows mammals to see urine trails. This would be helpful for prey animals, such as cats and dogs, to find food in the wild.
Just discovered someone made a Castaneda film. I checked with Rosemary and she, like me, was not interviewed. WTF?
