Bandit Notions

[SadLuckDame]

I gots a bow, but I don't want to kill a cute wooly mammoth or any little animals or bears and I throw the fish back in the water. I'd prolly only kill the spiders.
But, maybees I can do the hula.

[the mingo]

yeah! gimme one of those tsunami hula things we'll launch arrows to the moon !

evening shadows on the wall of the house - been watching them the past few minutes - how they keep changing as the sun drops behind the trees...

i was a bottle baby - very early fifties and all that but my mother probably was not - last thing i can imagine in the house she was born in was baby bottles ready to go - that was in the twenties.

folks that was born in the 1880's long gone...

Read the other day that a burial site has been found that contained the body of a female shaman circa 30,000 BP. The fact that the body was female was spoken of with surprise. Says more about modern man than ancient man, ya think?
And BP (before present) - going through school when I was a kid it was BC -
is it fear? I always look for sign - it's how I was taught to travel the forest - or a road or a face...tiny almost imperceptible scratchings on the surface of a stone gives evidence of a chipmunk or squirrel taking a moment there to sharpen claws. Sign has no need to be big like a tsunami coming at you at a hundred miles an hour - sign can be so small most miss seeing it at all.
BP - the fanatical push to eradicate any reference to the Lord down to the smallest detail is sign as sure as tiny scratchings on a rock. When truth gets scarce knowledge rushes in to take it's place.

meatloaf tonight for dinner and maybe a rare beer.
Blessed be the beer.
Amen.

The beer wasn't bad. I never could handle straight beer - need a little sweetness to go along with the bitter.

I need a simple camera. One that does not confuse me with too many options and too many button pushes to do what I want it to. I got a canon with lots of soup up but I never did get to the directions for it and now they are long gone and I get lost in the options and get frustrated - takes beautiful pics but all the stumbling around trying to view what I've just shot pisses me off ...

so - something simple, with clarity. If God could change dinosaurs into birds...

had a Polaroid in the sixties, it was called a Swinger ... took these amusing little black & white photos ... and simple? Forgetaboutit.

Bitch moan whine what?

Sometimes on my walks in the woods I pass through the trees so slowly my hair and clothes get scented by them.

real time BP

I think that there is a fundamental difference between cultures as they measure time but we live in real time, up to the minute time almost as fast as the pixels hit this screen
Hebrew Time/Greek Time
You ever lose a book but you can never forget it or find it again? Been over thirty years since that book got a way from me but I still try to remember it
as if it was written in the future will have been.

I was thinking about a poem
3BCE to 30CE
would be 2009 BP to 1989 BP

Time, what a notion

I ought to google it

Dos XX's tastes sweet to me
but the only beer I truly like to satisfy my beer thirst is Shiner Blonde.

Moving slow
scented by trees

I aways liked your googlebots thread.

Googlebots? Holy Senility, Jack ! I had completely forgot about that! Thx, Jack, for reminding me.

[stilltrucking]

I guess in real time there is no time like the present

what I dig is the moments when I am reminded of the present, that live forever feeling I get, like moving slow and getting scented.

[the mingo]

neighbor is gonna help me replace a drivebelt on a riding mower today. he has already made a project out of it and we ain't even begun yet.

I'm a-feared.

Where's a good poem when ya need one?

[stilltrucking]

I am just a city hick so I am not sure but some days the flys seem worse than others. We are surrounded by horses here, maybe that is whe so many flies, also the cat killed something last night maybe there is a stench I can't smell

I was sitting out enjoying my ereader but just too many bugs was sharing the space. I am stuck inside, waiting for the little rock and roller to ge up, might as well take a nap listen to "Hatchet" man that is one great book I have never read it but listened to it a hundred times

“So much of this was patience - waiting and thinking and doing things right.”

"first food, than thought, than action"
city kid surviving after a plane crash in remote area of canada true story, his first lesson "all must eat" everything in the forest is searching for food including him. I am going on a hatchet diet starting may first. trying to get down to a reasonable weight that won't sink my little boat I am going to get soon I hope.
good luck with your neighbor

[the mingo]

I READ THAT BOOK ! GOOD READ !! O the shit that kid had to do.

When it comes to your boat, weight loss or no, don't get anything too small - it will be a regret on ya.
I really do hope ya get a kayak - those boats have been really sweet to me.
Physically, mentally, and ( i don't use this next word lightly as some but in this case it's true ) - spiritually.

Got kayak fever myself - water too cold yet up here - as it is I'll be rushing the season when I do get out but man waits for no time.

"on the blue side of the evenin when the darkness takes control"

Something tells me that sailboats have passed me by,
that would be my first choice where I twenty years younger
talking to some bike cops down on Alamo Plazy yesterday, these guys are hard core, when they ain't riding the bicycles ten hours a day they are kayacking or running marathons. I was trying to explain I wanted something more than get get up and go to work come home go to sleep, and one cops says "he wants a passion"

passion done past me by too
but I still got my little silicon pal here
cyber highway

the illusion of freedom

I miss the wind, I miss my solitude, maybes my best bet would be just to go for the coast a couple of days everymonth.

But I keep thinking cheap
probably cost me two hundred bucks to go to the coast for a couple of days, but if could hang on four another six months and make myself a cash stash I could maybe get something like this?
Says you cand paddle it peddle it or sail it. Hobie Mirage

[SadLuckDame]

It looks like it's only taking one person out to fish and that's it.
Where to put the pick-me-up-girl in a boat. Prolly just me wondering that.

[Diana Moon Glampers]

Plenty of room just get rid of the milk crate and she can hold the fishing poles and peddle, or if she was light enough she could sit on my lap

Carlos, thinking about Carlos my black brother
what is really going on with him,
going for some surgery going to be out of work for a month
he is looking forward to it

He is the closest thing I have to a friend at work these days.

What would I do with a month off work,
I would probably write more
but from the coast maybe
get some ocean in me
or

A month and a thousand dollars I would visit jitterbug

me and jitterbug
here

[SadLuckDame]

Which makes me think it'd be a good poem,
ya knows about the woman sitting in your lap and fishing.
No one ever wrote that poem yet, have they.
