If we don't see Mouse today, I think I'll
Just give him a call
And if he's all right
I'll post it tonight.

But if Mouse isn't there
Or under your chair
Then we'd best form a posse
And, not to be bossy,

Find out what's going down
Is Mouse out on the town?
Or just running around
With some friends he has found?

He could with Rev cruisin'
But right now it's confusin'
Is he watching high water?
Having lunch with his daughter?

So Mouse, if you hear us
Send a word to cheer us
Before we all worry
And get in a flurry.

Gnome, thank you.
If I have correctly translated your words, you are saying that maybe this near the end of the month, Mouse may have communication problems due to more days than dollars during this time.

I think that is what you meant, but I could be mistaken.

So, if that is in fact the case, I might not be able to reach him by telephone either.
Okay. Thank you for that message. I hope this is a good day for you.

And I am not neebee. :)

Kind regards,

Ho sweet and wise fairy you of course are not neebee. .

It is death of a salesman,here. .

Yes you are correct

you clearly have a de-coder ring!



it happens, happen'd And sadly it was a rent increase
that mfm said about, I'm sure, here on the flames.
There would not be enough to cover
he has been working both ends from No middle now & then
budget of the impossible has replaced anything recognized
As survivable for cosmic as well.m.,. I'm may take that down?
They are g'd-buddies as well and Dwain ( Cosmiccragsman )
Was unable to reach him by phone.







His ~"hello , in there- hello." ~ comes to mind.

But I like so much John Prine that I have favorite have to hears that may be the best know
Or un-known, Paradise, Sam Stone,


And Hello in there hello. .,. .were the first songs that Prine played,( there is a 2015 interview$

But it is a song & video that makes me cry

More fun as it it were ; the thirty-five year old 'kitchen tapes'

in some of the Origanal order, he tells of writing his 1st album of songs, after leaving a crowd Speechless!
The bar owner hired the postman on the spot, for three sets a night around 40 minutes, a set,
he had, those three songs
three ready to play, and a friend , Steve Goodman.





I'm in love with this month and the next, they being three of the most challenging, oougth only October, setting up for all the holidays and a birthday.

Thank you Gnome, and for the happy enchilada song as well. That was funny and fun to watch.

We are having a blizzard here in Montana right now, snow falling slaunch-wise as the gusty winds carry it over the Divide and across the valley and back up to my house. Yes, I like this and next month too, because they bring the promise of Spring.

I hope you have a very good week.

Wonderful, I'm sure now he'll chop me down for outing all of ours truth,
but . . . . . . . . . e?
We do what we can,
If we have nothing ?
We still make do.


Also he told me he felt that in as much as his agreement was 'worked' on him with out his
consent,
some move to a more expensive plan, or contract, some thing ?
of what he was opaque.

But he made clear that he was not paying till it was straitened out.
From my understanding of it anyway.

When the same thing, called , jamming ?! Happened to me we could not resolve it !
We had to switch providers. We lost service went 'black' for a week as well.


We must climb forth class in song

Words too.


If that's all we can do I'll take that till I'm ? What's old 92?
I see that neebee -4- 94 wow .!
Hope indeed, and I hope that there's brightness in their lives
for they are gems !

OXs I've got . .. .. all and a lot ,
not so much any thing even extra. Of what counts, sorry to say,

It pains me that from when to now, I've taken the path that led to here and now

Here and now.

For only that one reason, the world is, at all last and done, - competitive.

And the count of -climbs- -dreams- -words- ' even good deeds- ,
is not the currency




that currency is. The count of ducats !

The failings that arrive at the door step

for no reason other than being alive

hard work does not suspend life

and things happen ,'nth ing to be done.







As remembered earlier ,
I think
that with his notice from his land lord ?
Seems a long about the tenth of January
but I've not gone back,


anyway
There is a way we can Be sure he sees
or
can see the page make it easy to find
the smoke till the flames comes back to light
Bumping will help

So

by hand bellow feed the flames

I hope?
, so
I'll keep it if I can
On the front page,

It is not really any trick

mostly to understand me you don't need to be quick .

Dyslexic and ambidextrous helps,

Then there is the battle with spell check . .
I lost !.
Also thinking back,
Stumbled, actually, the machine took a wack,
It's a touch screen so now is a touchy touch screen

Whack
Touch
Touchy
Touch ? Touch is a strange word ?

dropped the machine,

Things to look for in the scatt I write is to except that once it will say it two ways
1st a way that makes sense to me then I try to make it make sense.
My wife is a saint but refuses to participate because of how I spew.
And she is right to do so
I have a big pretty much heald disconnect
bad at having focus for a full thought in a linear direction,
Mixed with a " deserving of a bar of soap" potty mouth !
There is little
but if
I try harder
I'll tow some

Too

please all grab an oar we can make it past the surf to calm waters
if we all

the brave Cow boy oo too please and thnnyoo!

shares. from all!

drop drip drop drop.drip drip drop till it is a waterfall.
mfm's picture fooled a bit with out put. . . Just up'd values

Any way up there in the roof shots mfm was sharing gave no indication of any thng but vigor.
We did share the shortest of notes ,
And oh I regret my having had self-consciously edit out some,
a hart lapse and half of the whole was all that I sent him!

So I'm at least sure that his is pluck, was plucky as that chap about town can be ,
when away from his beloved YO -Semi -TE





Ah good 'nuff, the spoken words not be heard
Enough Garbblebase it is just
Jibber Jabber.

I know when to say when _/;g}>lm almost right up to the threshold ,
Gnoming that the end page till Hiz return? Two votes to One (for I'll need to post)

There are plenty of other places to satiate my habit.
Anyone can feel free to post gage
Mfm was just saying a page back that we as the -# s go
Are more about flow
Constant or a drip the the refraction of light through a single drop of rain,
To se. A rain bow ! That is always a welcome share
Flames has no omg I most must have that , although
I do get that !

I'll go back, it was a slight chide to Flame Friend flip flop.
About a countdown to Ten K. .,.

Jus messing with you, Feralfae.

I am still getting over (stiff and sore) helping the crew by climbing and removing that most dangerous and splitting tree last week. My memory could improve by reminding myself it's not required of me to climb trees for my company any more. Have good employees for that so, what the hell am I doing it for? My appointment is Thursday to finally see a podiatrist for plantar fasciitis in the right foot going on a year, 3 cortisone shots later and still no recuperation.

Off to work now but will try write & post some short poems here later to help fill the void...

Bushman, two of Doug's favorite descriptors were:

"half a bubble off" which meant not thinking straight, and;

and "that's slaunch-wise" which meant that something was out of plumb, or going sideways, or leaning off center.

Bushman, I was wondering why you were out there climbing those interesting tree climbs when I knew you had a crew. I thought you were just having some fun.

Yes, neebs, have been back in Montana from AK since October, came home with this broken tibia, which was mis-diagnosed and then finally set. I am seeing the orthopedic doctor today to see how the tibia is healing, hoping to get off crutches soon, but swinging around on the crutches or rolling my wheelchair have been great for upper body strength. I am healing. If you sent mail up to AK since then, it will be lost. No biggie.

Gnome, thank you for the explanation. Glad some things are going right in your life, because you certainly have your share of challenges. Best wishes.

Now we hold the Flames space and augment it if we can, as we await the return of the Merced Mouse.

More snow coming in today here on the Divide. 7F here right now. May go up to 20F today. Stay warm and cozy everyone.

Never a Song not to Sing

Never severing the lever for a clever endeavor
I have scoured on the hour for a flower of raw power
Having gone for a stroll to extol by the knoll
Where a mare gently cared for her dapple haired foal

Often life does unfold so harshly and cold
While its beauty though raw can be strangely so bold
With the eagle's sharp calling a fox dies while falling
And then lies at the feet of the eagle chicks bawling

I would pluck out my buck to see by the twilight
And whittle a duck if I've luck and some daylight
And leave to philosophers what it means to the conifers
When butterfly wings so lacy and gossamer
Doth cling to the trunks of great Euc's oh so columnar

At dawn in the spring as the mockingbirds sing
I know I'm just a commoner unknown to the commodore
Being certainly unversed in the use of spectrometers
At least at this juncture I won't need a barometer

Grand High Kleagle, Seb O'rrhea, a Klan notable from Sulky, Kansas, USA, allegedly reached out to a gay rights activist visiting from Cleveland Saturday.

"Yah, I was just sittin' there in Cooter's Cocktails in Olathe, Kansas, just a hop, skip, and a jump from my home town. Friendly guy, smelled real bad of cologne or body wash, something, sat down to my right. He partly blocked the Fox News feed on the flat screen, so I asked him to move.

He had this speech defect. Took me awhile to remember what that way of talkin' means. Means he's queer. I was real proud of myself. A real queer, right in strikin' distance. Answer to a prayer, it was. I keep this lead-weighted sap in my back pocket and was squirmin' to get my hand on that sucker.

Ray, the queer guy, gave me a big ol' look like God-knows-what, and he said "do I make you uncomfortable?" Jesus, The Whitest of White, Christ! He sounded, his voice, it sounded like my Mama tuckin' me into bed when I was five, before she run off, or maybe Papa done something to her.

I forgot about smackin' that fag up alongside top of his head. Forgot about the sap in my back pocket and I started to cry.

"Make a long story short, we killed off a few Bud Lights and Grain Belts and got to talkin'. Him about bein' gay in Make America Great Land. And me about my dreams of a pure racial white America.
We're both gettin' into DUI range, and me with two priors, so he says "I'll spring for a taxi, if you'll let me tell you something that'll help you keep the White Race pure."

The picture of me in a taxi with a, a, uh, gay guy, whooeee! But I always puts God, White America, the Klan first over my own needs or, uh fears. So I said "ok, but no monkey business and I ride in the front seat."

White Nordic Jesus at the right hand of God! I stumbled onto something that'll get me a big award, maybe a plus-size satin sheet for formal occasions. Ray, the queer guy, says to me, he says: "The key to preventing what you call 'mud people' from polluting the White Race, is homosexuality. No more mixed-blood babies. None.""

That's just wrong, Cowboy.

Dingus, I was thinkin the same thing. Maybe save him both pages as well, 9,980 through 10,020?

It could be a veritable Mouse Gallery treasure trove of Mouse Photos, Mouse Poems, and Mouse Meanderings.
