The stink in small rock hell tells me my rant
Was needed and justified, the remains of a burst pipe and the timing !
Man it went down so strange as this time yesterday day this whiny BIOTCH
Was sitting on me
Why
I cannot say
My , I have spider sense it has saved many things and people
SPIDEE Sense, not crazy
Meditate on that!
More to the point
People have died when I ignore a very specific feeling
Bad things at shows were an early learning program
Years go by
Tons of times
to prove me right is hard but not
Impossible
Nuff said!

I need to post these two images from the art thread.
They are each rather disturbing in some vague way.
Share the joy, share the vaguely disturbing, I always say.
No offense to either Alison or to neebee.
I feel better now.
These two and the other 20th C. B&Ws earlier are from
Through Our Eyes: The 20th Century as seen by the San Francisco Chronicle.

However, there are a few challenges, not the least of which is that there may not be enough donuts to go around.

Climbing content-wise, Olympus Mons, on Mars, is the largest and highest mountain in the visible Universe. Rumoured to be much higher than Mt. Everest. {The central edifice stands 21 kilometers (around 13.05 miles/approx. 68897 ft) high above the mean surface level of Mars.}
OT (and not), just who is your favorite Martian. Also, I wonder how many sherpas made it onto the final 100 list.

Snelling & Snelling
And a big book seller the name will come to me it began with a B. . Also a 'twin' Damn I cant even remember . . .?baker & Baker??
This is going to bug me now
So later in a bit, I'll try to get back! To YA
Dunn & Bradstreet!!
Man still
I was sixteen it was a system, they offerd jobs to students
In youth literary mags, and then it went down hill fast I ended up running a video rewinding
'Desk' in a warehouses!
I have to go be Daddy'O's and shovel snows!
Screw the snow let it lie . .
That comment got me to thinking which led to a
Head ache, !
How many days in the Ditch? Consecutive summers, days in the vicinity,
non extended 12 day stands ?
What happened to my '71 impala?
I've pointed out I don't talk to the family much, when was that trip?
hey what year was it with the family unit?
We took an RV that the grace company gave dad for the summer a winabago
They spent a lot of wine down time, the folks Did,
Dad scraped the door shut on the winding 101?
Which was fun . . I got to use the escape hatch the rest of that summer!
I went to look for the bicentennial sweater that is a treasure it was not '76 it was from '85?!
This means that what? The trip with my folks is memorable but it seems I'm all akimbo
Ferkoktta too!
Hertz we try hader! The RV was a perk the trip was rough on us kidz
at each other
and me
Biddy biddy bom! Anatefca .All day long!
sun rise..,, ,sunset. , (the way the came out, No post work)
I was small then too it was when I was able to sing the entire score(every song and line)
Of fiddler on the roof! So working backwards that must have been seventy two?
Where did I spend the bicentennial ? If not in the valley why do I remember it as being so?
Just a bit over a year all totals, at most, damn no wonder I'm such a whiney BIOTCH !
Never got enough time in the Big ditch
, I'm depressed!
Hey, no more whining we said!

I know where we were on July 4, 1976. At Patty and Malcolm McGregor's at Sunrise Mountain Ranch on Agua Fria Road outside of Mariposa. I know this because our new baby was just a few weeks old when we hitchhiked over from Santa Cruz.

[Click to View YouTube Video]Gypsy,
I am reminded of the signadura who called you over from her fortune-telling shack in Planada on the opposite side of the road and proceeded to do her thing with the oil and the water in a bowl to show you your futures.
(She was not exactly Corsican, living in Planada.)
And when she delivered her prognostication, that you were pretending to like one another, and that the child would be nothing but a burden for you two, you both laughed, gave HER the evil eye, and headed back to the other side of Highway 140.
HAHA! Fooled that old gal!

hey there say, mouse... not to worry... as to bunny...
from what i learned, he was a sweet rabbit and had a long life, by his owner, though he died, finally, through old age, :(
the owner is yes, sad... but we hoped to help him feel better, and:
after she surprised her friend with this, she knew she had done well...
sweet pets, so innocent, yes... wish life was full of such
gentle friendships, the world over, in human form, as well as critter form...
:)
good thoughts for the day... and all from a little bunny, whose job
on earth is now... done... oh my...

hey there say, gypsy... wow, what a wonderful and sweet share, there, as to the 'being born to parents like you'...
:)
thank you for sharing so many thoughtful things...
and memories...
i have so many treasured memories, from south texas, but, they did not lead to where a young mommy hoped, in life, so they are packed away for in case of use, for whatever, someday...
but i made that trail, the best success that i could, and had to forge
a new one...
now, i am making NEW ones, i reckon... :)
wow, fun to visit here and see such a variety, of life...
