TALKING TO MYSELF OVER COFFEE
& LISTENING TO SOUL
Is there a domestic news front?
If so, which way is it facing?
Inwards, outwards, upwards.
One of the three.
Outsiders see our front.
We see theirs.
We cannot look at ourselves in the same way that Europeans do.
We cannot tell how the Asians see us.
We cannot tell if there are aliens out in space, but there are.
In their view, remember, no one is an alien.
We are all aliens.
It’s a strange POV, and a powerful one, which cant detect all three POVs and get to the truth.
The truth is all around, however you slice it.
It’s all separate realities other than that one being with all that insight and outasight.
But who’s to say there is just one?
Me.
I like to complicate matters, simply put.
I like to live too much in the past.
Keep on doin’ it, I’m gonna get next to myself.

I know from the feelin' that it comes from the heart
Easy lovin', every day's thanksgivin'
To count all my blessings, I wouldn't know where to start
Every time I look you over
So real to life it seems
For upon your pretty shoulders
There's a pair of angel wings
Easy lovin', seein's believin'
Life with you's like livin' in a beautiful dream
Every time I look you over
So real to life it seems
For upon your pretty shoulders
There's a pair of angel wings
Easy lovin', seein's believin'
Life with you's like livin' in a beautiful dream

There is none in the Alabama Hills, Eastside, neither, that I've heard.

A blast from the past.
Gnome, I'm not sure what the problem is, of course, up-or-downloading pix.
The Doctor and the norwegian are little help, as you can tell.
Purple gunk from a bottle? Respitory illness in your family, too?
Hope it's just seasonal.

Also, as to respitory illness, Amyjo said this, too.
in the Chinese medical realm,
there is a LOT good to be said
about the efficacy of
Shitake/Reishi and Cordyceps

Please do look into it.

Neither are what you'd call Weekend Warriors. Monday nights are fine, though.

Special for TimidTopRope.
Alison Rush, from the City, now here, now there...a migratory bird.[Click to View YouTube Video]She's terrific.
I watched her on the street one night at the Merced Art Hop
and she had the crowd eating out of her hand,
like tame birds, and taking REQUESTS!
Unheard of!

As usually I am more like ly to watch the sap run from some hostage, az he is burned to death somewhere.
The wife how ever is always watching Pit Bulls & Parollees, spelling be darned as socks.
The syncopation of the things that certain supertopians post up,
(mainly members of the Flames inner circle)
makes me think of the similarities of deeply held and cherished experiences away from the rocc, that many of us must share.

We prefer the word "cabal" to "inner circle."
And "coteries" are for the ladies, dans mon livre.

"End each page of The Flames with climbing content" is something the cabal should talk over.

So I went out to shoot the train today.
I got to R Street and the old tracks between 16th and 15th before the sun went down and set up next to the train tracks.
It was pleasantly warm.
A few passersby stopped passing by to remonstrate.
One man said he'd seen spirits down that way.
He and I were looking southeast towards the old depot and the Yosemite Area Rapid Transit/Greyhound depot.
I openly scoffed and said that, no, my camera didn't have the ability to shoot spirits when he asked about that.
I then told him of a time back in the late 1800s and early 1900s when the area over on 16th was a rough-and-tumble place, an open city, as some described it.
Drunks abounded.
The newspapers here (the Argus, the Sun, the Star) often notified readers of the death of yet another poor sot who was the victim of a train.
Deaths from a mangled body were fairly common.
The dude left and some time later Dickie came by.He claimed to sleep nearby--over in the freeway right-of-way, I think he meant, but he was not clear and cogent, shall we say.
He said that the trains drove him bats because he could not sleep well.
Well, duh!
I told him that I'd lived part of my young-young life in Redding next to the tracks that ran through both Redding and Merced, and that I knew his pain.
He waved his hands in the southeasterly direction and said something like a professor of architecture might, only he waved his hands so much it really did distract me.
He told me the ballast stones were blowing out from the speed of the high-ballin' trains.
It's normal, I told him.
It's gonna get someone killed, he said. And he pointed at himself.
I just said Otay and he left in a happy frame of mind after we'd introduced ourselves to each other.
Then the train arrived from the northwesterly direction and when its engines came flying by I grabbed the tripod and camera and turned out from the tracks.
When I had my back to the blast of wind caused by the train's passage lasted well over a minute after it Its force had knocked my hat off, but it just lay there until I'd got some pics of the receding train.
I had forgotten how much of a thrill it is standing next to the locomotive as it comes hell-bent for Fresno and points south.

People gotta live and pollute somewhere.
Looking at all that flat stuff, goin' all the way to Red Bluff.
Reminds me of just how many folks have never had any
Experience at elevations much higher than a few hundred feet.
They've never taken a hike longer than a few city blocks,
or traveled further than the city bus will take them,
and never will.
And it makes the climber in me happy...
and the teacher a little sad.
See?
:0)
I'm delirious.

They all learned to make lemonade.
This is the happenin' romantic evening spot in the bleakest city for hogs ever.
It's located down by the river next to the two broken-down ivy-covered Chevy vans.
