It's all too crazy, loony, hard-to-believe, for a poor boy like me out in the sticks.
No sooner do I turn these blues over to the One Who Cares;
No sooner than that, but the prob looks much easier, like it will go.
I've missed my blood checks at the VA Clinic.
I was called by dear Suzanne from the Fresno Hospital to see why I'm not checking my Warfarin levels.
I explain and complain about transit...she's a friendly ear to bend.
I promised to go out there tomorrow.
She CALLS ME BACK ten minutes later, the time it took me to write the above post.
She fills me in on the DEAL, which is to call a guy at the VA Clinic here and tell him when my appointment is in PA.
He will arrange a ride, then, for me to get over to Los Banos on Hwy 152 where I will intercept the Fresno Daily Ride to PA Service.
Then I can return to Los Banos after and there should be a ride back to Merced.
I needed a travel agent and I got the best.
I recall he walked most places, rode an ass once or twice, had a spell in Egypt as a lad, and liked to sail out on the Sea of Galilee with his rowdy friends and laugh about that time in Cana at the wedding of a friend, among other things.
neebee, how about that?
Ya stand in there for Him, He sees it. He responds. Ya gotta have faith.

My brother, the Timid One, thank you! And of course, my "heart goes out" to you. Sadness sucks. Joy of the open road is a long time in the past...
I guess we're all travelin' blind.
And we never know for certain.
I sink before your advice like a rock thrown at the moon in the lake.

Who Gives a Fig
It figures there are two Figs.
Adam had one,
Eve the other.
Each came from the same father
But had a different mother
Adam being Eve's in a figurative sense
Figments of our imaginations
Prefigure what may be
What was and may be again
Back when Fig Tree John roamed
The fig-less wastes of Josh and Morongo
There was no shade worth mentioning
He corrected God's mistake for Him
Once, at high noon, stopping by a 7-11 for a Fig Newton
And a glass of iced tea,
I ran into a fellow who had made a fine figure of himself
He figured it was gonna rain real hard, he said
He also said I'm Phil and you can call me Friend or Brother as you choose
I'm heading into the shade of that fig tree for a little snooze
Wake me after the flood
He shook his head as he climbed into his bed beneath the leaves and he said
Figgy dowdy, but it's getting cloudy
It's gonna be another hard-won battle
But thunder always has the last word

Yeah I know the trip is if you can understand I had to dump every thing, and some of it
(Sigh)was stuff that I had hoped to have time to use in places around the sight but the wife caught wind and wants her board clear she has some stats one an HP that I am trying to understand.
The picture dump is only a partial thing the climbing content is retrieveable the kitsch, less so.
Tweeked but great shots and some that are of views I know or think you must know and would like to see.[Click to View YouTube Video]

Good morning, Vietnam and America!
Living in a golden cage can make one angry and rebellious.
This is something my generation did not fully understand.
We simply went with the flow.
Rock 'n' roll helped exacerbate that feeling,
no matter the softness of the music.
We did not get what we thought we wanted,
which heaped fuel on that fire.
Our golden cages melted around us as a result,
which led to chaos.

It sure looks like a beautiful day coming up.
Enjoy yours...and don't forget to boogie.
Might do a little house cleaning today.
I love this song. Can you tell?

I seem to recall Ms. Diller hanging out at The Doggie Diner.
A bit father west, go there old man.
And so with a little daily adieu, here's Pigmeat
(this was made available by the folks at Revenant (particularly the late John Fahey and Dean Blackwood). You may not have known this.
Does a black sheep carry a black cat's tooth?

Teeth notwithstanding, there is some controversy as to whether Terry was a man or a woman.

[Click to View YouTube Video]Just this moment in a fit of spring cleaning, as per your recommendation,
I have found the long lost boxes containing some of the photos,
I am also proud to say that some may even be in disc format,
now that is amazing ,( actually the cutie made me laugh out loud !!)
I will try to get some things to show and tell. . .

that is far past where my shoes are at and that is what and where to show wear
if you are climbing Right and at your best
then wear, all on the toes, is what you should have.
- Only wear out the toes. I do that!
when from or' my shoulder the wife saw that she said ouch, who started a Locker appreciation thread. thanks for that!
did you read locker is in distress and needs?way back outa say, i was poking when he deleted the seeming attack and the exuded the yikes what is wrong with me thread
then i glitches outa' here to the bin laden thread and then the gremlins returned me her after i had tried to type out a plea to dwain. . .
COSMIC PLEASE DO NOT BE SUCH A PAIN
we all miss you insanity of the sane in the flames am I the only one who is Now Fully Lost as to what is is that you god fearing types need to all get along
Hey neebs? what will it take ? if I dress you directly? why is cosmic butthurt what was the play on words that 'dirted' him? ( a climbing reference to lowering some one to the ground)
