Oh rain.
Almost flooded our kitchen last night.
Had to grab the old pick-ax (from Sunnyridge)
and clear the channel I had earlier dug.
Dripping wet and swinging the ax brought
memories of some of the less than perfect
wood runs.
A beautiful rain, nevertheless...
In my hammock under a canopy
I listen to the rain
feeling protected and quiet
and in love with
creation.

eugene, bush is definately the south end of a north bound donkey! he gives the word "stupid" a bad name.......remember though, we'll still wake up tomorrow no matter what that dickhead does..........keep your thoughts up if you can.
llucy, we got 2.5 inches overnight, so I can't complain.(although I probably will!) hopefully we'll all get a lot more..........
ted, glad you had to worry about to much water. better than to much dust.......was it realy the old pick axe from sunnyridge?
speaking of to much rain, my girlfriend and I had quite an experience yesterday. do you want me to tell it?.............ok, if you insist....
the predictions were for heavy surf, so we went over to the coast to check it out. the waves were awesome to say the least. at least 20ft, maybe bigger. combined with an 8ft tide, the result was spectacular. crashing into the rocks and throwing spray hundreds of feet in the air, literally shaking the ground upon which we stood. we made "the rounds" until we were so soaked it was time to head back to the valley. when we got to the 199 turnoff, we saw a big sign saying 199 was closed due to rocks and weather conditions. we went to the highway patrol in crescent city to get some information on how long it might be closed and to call our family. when we walked in, the guy looked at us like we were aliens. I explained our situation, asked if he knew how long the closure might be for, etc. he said "the highway will be closed at least for a couple of days". when we asked if we could call our families and let them know our situation, you'd have thought we had turbans on our heads the way he looked at us! so I asked him for information on hwy 42, where it was,was it opened or closed, etc. he says in a clipped tone, I don't know anything about that road, except it leaves from coos bay"!........big stupid fat fucking pig. I swear if i'd have brought a box of jelly filled we'd have gotten a personal excort through the canyon! I know it's a bold concept, but I actually thought the highway patrol was suppose to help with just these sorts of things. I'm a naive jerk sometimes.......
we decided to go for it. although tricky, things weren't to bad, until we got to port orford. by then it was completely dark, and the storm, which had only been raging up til then, decided to turn it up a notch! I could not see 3ft in front of me because it was raining so hard, and the wind was blowing so hard it actually moved the car sideways! scary to say the least. stopping at that point would have been useless, because the slower I went the more the wind would blow the car, whereas moving foreward helped prevent the "sideways" effect the wind was creating. after what seemed a year, we made it to bandon. when we asked a gas station attendent how far coos bay was so we could get on hwy 42, he informed us the "police officer" was wrong, that the hwy was at the next light. it was a euphoric feeling. we thought we still had miles to go. when we were on the hwy and heading east, I was surprised and a bit disappointed to learn it was still 80 miles over to winston/roseburg, but at that point I'd have driven to mexico! although a bit of a nailbiter, the rest of the drive was bearable. we got back to CJ about ten, 8 hrs after leaving crescent city........

I heard on Radio KGO last night that the El Nino
is going to be stronger than originally predicted.
If that is the case, you better keep that pickax handy!!

Great pics. I get a weird feeling of loneliness looking at the dark areas on that picture of the US, even though those areas are my preferences of where to live...
The nebula is cool to say the least.
And as for the rocket pic...
Refer to my posting on

where I took the same picture with my cheap-o digital camera.
And mij...
To tell you the truth, I don't know if the pick-ax is really from Sunnyridge or not. I may have gotten it here in CA. I may have been thinking of the one issued by the Fire Dept to us firefighters back then. It was a combination ax and digging tool rather than a pick and ax. blah blah.
Still got the Hard hat they issued however.

woke up this morning because the thunder gods decided to shake us around a little. the dogs don't think to highly of them though.....have to admit some of the louder ones make me want to scurry under a bed too.......lovin every minute of it!....
found out through a friend that three people died at that slide that closed 199, although the news has said nothing about it. apparently about two in the morning they started piloting cars through the "narrows"(that's the area right before patrick's creek lodge, where most of the slides that close the road occur)when a tree that hangs out over the road way up the side of the canyon came lose and crushed two cars. I know exactly which tree they are talking about, cause I've often looked up at it when driving down there and said to myself that it's completely defying all laws of gravity, wondering to myself why they leave it. we may have been one of those cars had we decided not to take our 8 hour detour. sometimes what seems like the worst decision turns out the best.......

sum punny philosophy...
Guidelines for Enlightenment
by Swami Beyondananda
1. Be a Fundamentalist--make sure the Fun always comes before the mental.
Realize that life is a situation comedy that will never be cancelled. A
laugh track has been provided, and the reason why we are put in the material
world is to get more material. Have a good laughsitive twice a day, and
that will ensure regular hilarity.
2. Remember that each of us has been given a special gift, just for
entering--so you are already a winner!
3. The most powerful tool on the planet today is Tell-A-Vision. That is
where I tell a vision to you, and you tell a vision to me. That way, if we
don't like the programming we're getting, we can simply change the channel.
4. Life is like photography. You use the negative to develop.
5. It is true. As we go through life thinking heavy thoughts, thought
particles tend to get caught between the ears, causing a condition called
truth decay. so be sure to use mental floss twice a day. And when you're
tempted to practice tantrum yoga, remember what we teach in Swami's
Absurdiveness Training class: "Don't get even, get odd."
6. If we want world peace, we must let go of our attachments and truly live
like nomads. That's where I no mad at you, you no mad at me. That way,
there'll surly be nomadness on the planet. and peace begins with each of
us. A little peace here, a little peace there, pretty soon all the peaces
will fit together to make one big peace everywhere.
7. I know great earth changes have been predicted for the future, so if
you're looking to avoid earthquakes, my advice is simple. When you find a
fault, just don't dwell on it.
8. There's no need to change the world. All we have to do is toilet train
the world, and we'll never have to change it again.
9. If you're looking to find the key to the Universe, I have some bad news
and some good news. The bad news is: there is no key to the Universe. The
good news is: it has been left unlocked.
10. Finally, everything I have told you is channeled. That way, if you
don't like it, it's not my fault. And remember, enlightenment is not a
bureaucracy. so we don't have to go through channels.

Three frenchmen are sitting in a traditional Parisian cafe on the left bank of the Seine, discussing the meaning of the phrase, "Savoir-Faire".
"Savoir-Faire," says the first, "is like zis: you come home, after a hard day's work, and you open ze front door of your house, and you see your beautiful wife, stark naked, on a bear-skin rug, in front of a roaring fire, making love to anozer man, and you say, 'Oh, excuse me, please continue' - zen, you have Savoir-Faire."
"Non," says the second, "you really have zis wrong. You see, Savoir-Faire is zis: you come home after a hard day's work, and you open ze front door of your house, and you see your beautiful wife, on a bear-skin rug, in front of a roaring fire, stark naked, and making love to anozer man, and you say, 'I'm sorry to interrupt, but would you like a drink?' - alors, zen, you have Savoir-Faire."
"I'm so sorry," says the third, "but you are both mistaken. Let us say you come 'ome after a hard day's work, and you open ze front door, and you see your beautiful wife, stark naked, in front of a roaring fire, on a bear-skin rug, making love to anozer man, and you say, 'Oh, excuse me, please continue' - and zat man can - zen he has Savoir-Faire!"

Hi everyone, Tomorrow is Veteran's Day and also the
anniversary of 'The Wall', honoring the Vietnam Veterans.
Twenty years after that horrible war, Robert McNamara, the
instigator of that war, had the audacity to say we never
should have been there at all. And the heroes of the
Gulf War-how did we treat them? There wasn't one or two
kids complaining about illnesses from that debacle--there
were thousands. And did our government compensate them in
any way at all. You all know the answer to that one. Quite
a few have died already and the others are still trying
to get some help from our government. And now it seems,
Mr Bush will have his way and add thousands more Veterans
to the list. He is one happy fellow.
Excuse the history lesson, but it does make me sad
on this Veteran's day to think so many people are willing
to send these 18 and 19 year old kids(and they are kids)
off to war. Whether they are unscathed physically or maimed
they come away from war mentally scarred for life.
War should never be the option. Thanks for listening.
PEACE, PEACE and of course, much love to all.

in 1995 i found myself in DC on veterans day weekend and found my way to the wall... if you ever get a chance to go to DC you should it really is inspiring in its own way... when i went to the wall i just burst out crying for all of the dead... american and vietnamese... and met a lot of veterans and talked with them over the course of the day... nothing in particular...
war is supposed to be the LAST resort and i am afraid that at times there are no other options... but there is no doubt that the powers that be at least since ronald raygun have resorted to it more often and sooner than many would hope... and since the fall of the USSR the right has been able to make liberal as dirty a word as communist used to be... and the left has fractured so nowadays and moved so right and gets support from the money people that run everything that does seem hopeless at times... but things move back and forth over time and as soon as the republicans fuck everything up so much that enough people are really hurting... things will move left again and on and on... so... as long as i get my geezer check (SSI) i will just keep doing my part to try and help where i can...
you are right llucy... the government will once again desert its veterans just like they have in every conflict since korea... i always vote for anything for the veterans that is on the ballot... since i do not think that serving ones country (however misguided the government may be) is something that is bad... i never blamed the soldiers for going to vietnam... they did what their conscience required of the just as ours required that we protest against the war... la-dee-da... i have spouted...

Jim--you are right on with Armistice Day. The eleventh
month, eleventh day, eleventh hour ended World War 1.
I'm not sure, but I think it was Armistice Day until
after World War 11. Before that-I think Memorial Day
is the oldest of the remembering days.
After WW 11. every city and hamlet had huge parades for
Armistice Day and most veterans would march in them(Lefty
and me included). But after a few years, I noticed a
definite decline in Vet participation--most of us gained
too much weight to wear the uniform.
But of course, this day still has its tragi-melancholy
aura. And why not--it stands for ENDING a war, not
starting one!!!!!Peace, love, Rita

7. each year americans use enough foam peanuts to fill
85 ten story buildings.
8. 12 cows are a flink.

you who yahoo already knew ( say that 3 times)they have
a little section called "in the news". usually these
headlines stay at least a day, sometimes longer, before
they slowly get replaced by different headlines and news items. strangely though, this article stayed for about an hour or less. I read it early in the morning, and by
breakfast it was gone. makes one wonder why they printed it at all. my opinion is it was propaganda put out by some anti-marijuana committee or some such organization, due to the recent medical and legalalization campaigns of marijuana.................................................................or not

drop since, and the outlook is for dry warm weather(highs near 70 today)the rest of the week, and then a "rex block" setting up for the remainder of this month and into
december. rex blocks are very strong high pressures
which due to the nature of their formation make it very
hard for them to move anywhere. they just sit in one
place, sometimes for 3-4 weeks. the bottom line is dry
for the forseeable future......
well, that's todays meteorology lecture, there will be a test tomorrow.........
in other news, george bush is still stupid, kind of a
rex block of stupidity if you will. just stays stupid for long periods at a time, with little movement towards
intelligence........
like everything in the universe, things come back around,
and that applies to my jokes as well:
what did the zen master say to the hotdog vendor?
could you make me one with everything?
peace.

What did the true guru say to the zen master?
Make yourself one with no thing.
You are what you eat.

ted, I've had it with you "knowing" everything! who the hell
do you think you are? save something to "know" for the rest
of us dammit! just when I think I "know" something, you
"know" it first. do you "know" what that's like? of course you "know", you "know" everything. heaven "knows" why.
well "know" this buster, your "knowledge" of "knowing" is
nothing, and the sooner you "know" it the better!.......
as ed sullivan would say: "well now you know, well now
you know right here on our show".......
ted, a bit of advice. fuck em'!................and don't
sweat the little shit! you do just fine......this I "know".
peace.

the wind is howling and the rain streaming down
huge puddles are shimmering all over the ground;
the mud is ankle deep, causing vehicles to bog
but then I woke up to the reality of fog.......
I remember in phoenix when we were little how fog was
a big event. we would go out and play in it, sometimes we
would even get to stay home from school. just can't get
that same sensation, try as I might. I guess it's true, we can't go back home........
but I digress. my intention was to enlighten you all with a few little known facts, so away we go........
1. great britain will be at the north pole in 250 million
years.( where will the north pole be?)
2. the average driver passes more than 912 pints of gas
inside a car over the course of his/her lifetime.
( about time someone figured that out!)
3. for her 40th birthday, sophia loren's husband gave
her a 14-karat gold toilet seat.( I'll leave that alone...)
4. the atlantic ocean is saltier than the pacific ocean.
5. americans consume 18 acres of pizza a day.
6. the average woman will start 32 diets in her lifetime.
7. almost 30% of home burglars raid the refrigerator.
8. the combined JC penny christmas catalogs mailed out this year will weigh as much as 39 statue of liberties. (someone
has entirely to much time on their hands.... )
9. cell phones are attibuted to 500 traffic accidents a month in california.(they should change their name to
"call-ifornia")
10. the typical bed has 6 million dust mites living in it.
( "mite" need to change the bedding...)
11. 15,000 male witches were put to death in europe
between 1450 and 1750.
12. the moon smells like exploded fireworks. ( does that
mean fireworks smell like imploded moons?)
13. medically speaking, the correct order of intelligence
is: moron, imbecile, idiot.( you'd have to be stupid not
to know that!)
well that's enough mind boggling trivial information for
one day.( or forever )......
ted, a quick note. you do know that the previous message I
wrote before this was complete sarcasm I hope. I assumed
you've gotten use to my warped sense of humor. anyway, I
just wanted to make sure. peace.

TWO KILLED, MUTILATED, AT CAMPSITE
UPI--Bludlust, Montana-July, 5, 2003
Two transients were killed and mutilated at their campsite in what appears to be a motiveless crime. Sheriff “Cappy” Amurrika described the victims as “a old hippy and some old female companion.” They appeared to be traveling with no apparent goal in a class-B motor home.
Charged with the gruesome crime and held without bail at the Bludlust substation are “Buzz” Beavis, 19, and Bert Head, 18. The two described themselves as wandering grafitti artists. When asked about a motive for the crime, both replied, in unison, “We was bored.”
