" Even the dog is nuts" Grandma Cereal
Funny how something the living have said can remain with you long after they themselves have departed these realms.
Ya don't have to be Jesus Christ for to be remembered at your words or any notion that may pass through your mind.
"Even the dog is nuts" was spoken by my grandmother to me as we walked up the hill to her house, or trailer to be exact. We were talking about how crazy the world seemed to be getting and she had her little poodle dog with her who was walking ahead of us up the hill.
She was kept alive the last years of her life as the nursing facility that was charged with her care tried to hollow out her bank accounts.
They failed in the attempt. My grandmother had a good dose of Scottish blood running her veins that would stand the test of a whole hunting party of greasy
legal beagles. No insult to the dogs intended.
Her words came back to me today as I was out walking a hound that showed up in my life a couple of weeks ago. I watched him as he sniffed a stump at the edge of a swamp. He worried at it and worried at it then turned around in a circle twice & went back to sniffing the stump.
yeah, even the dog is nuts.

o the call of geese is shattered by spaghetti girl scout infantry hamburger world war one!
and my teeth abandoned squirrel garbage with trees growing up through them dog hair covering all the maps - the rocks in the creekbeds are not idiots & do not ask of the future or advertise insecurity in any sociopathic manner nor are they mad at anyone. The bees are in place and honey the result of their existence. Nothing is the result of sunlight.
That would be merely impersonal.
I think I'll have my GPS for breakfast !

Re: Bandit Notions
i always liked that fool on the hill song
and the world going down
some say it is entropy
but i think it is rock and roll
roll over beethoven tell
obama the news
my heart goes out to the leader of the free world
watching a US Navy recruitment commercial
what do I believe any more, that Jesus Died for Mysins sure
Nietzsche too
do I believe the commercial when it says the us navy does real good in the world
I wish i was carry grant
and I said to her
"It's pretty to think so"
Such gloomy thoughts swirl around me, I blame it on the ominours skies as south central texas gets brushed by the tail end of the storm that killied four up in Oklahoma
Never much cared for hollywood musicals but I liked the songs in that one Oklahoma your ok, and four random black men are shot to death by home grown terrorists on Tulsa time
I love how the waves go on forever as they comeashore

Re: Bandit Notions
Ticks feel a little nubby - that's how I find them on the dog.
See they gonna charge what's his face with murdering that young man in Florida. Twenty years in a fed pen where the white supremacists can give him an education with exactly what is wrong with this country.
Go law & order!
I heard 'bout the storm systems in the Midwest - if there's a tornado in the news it must be spring.
I get prey to gloomy thoughts myself - usually brought on by proximity to overly cheerful or outright optimistic individuals. I applaud them sometimes but most times I figure they are either in denial or just don't fully grasp the situation.
Like General George Armstrong Custer.

Re: Bandit Notions
self appointed "neighborhood watch captain" who died and anointed appointed him a Peace Officer. I wish news media would clear that up, there really is something called neighborhood watch apparently. a national organization with by laws and certified qualifications and such but zimmy had nothing to do with anything, just out there on his own defending truth justice and the american way.
I hope my neighborhood watch has not watched me in the early morning going out to squirt the dirt.
ticks are nasty
one of the creepiest feelings I know having one of them emmeded in my scalp. Has not happened in years, i can usually feeling them creeping on my skin, ugggh
she got lots of masses,
could be from some bull shit additive in her dog food certified by the Food and Drug Administration in the Peoples Republic of China.
spooks me to hear the bear talk to that dog like that, spooky like something out of a Gustav Hasford novel.
I usually look for a good sound tract for my gloomy thoughts, nobody gloomier than old kurt v. he said listen to the music so I do.
but I could use some silence, some beach time. time away out of the grove that has become a grind
still no kayak

Re: Bandit Notions
watching the wind spin one of those small flower-looking windspinners that somehow ended up here i don't remember how. get to a certain age it seems to trip the triggers on a whole host of life enders.
Death has a finality that is awesome. it ends everything for every individual & every living creature. You can even stop a conversation with it.
This dog picks up ticks right & left. I take him out to the woods, bring him back and find new ones on him just like that.
no new kayak for me either, Jack. Not with the tax return & not with the overtime.
Only thing I can say is "next year" - check craigslist for kayaks, it's how I keep my finger on what is going on and some good deals go down there.
Thx for the article on Fischer - I ended up reading it to the end. He got to the top of his one interest then nothing left to do & nowhere to go he just ranted raved and got old along with his 180 plus IQ. For me I rate players on their game.

Re: Bandit Notions
eat your graham crackers, kid, while i slice this hot dog up for the dog. Then we can go to tools and clear recent history. That would be worth it, no? we shake a little now & then going down the highway these days but if Hitler comes back we'll just get the vacumn cleaner out and empty the bag out down Titanic way.
I'm tellin' ya, there's no two ways about it -
just keep the dog busy so I can eat these things in peace
can't believe the dog is not interested in those marrow bones i bought him today
animal big as that don't give no shit over no marrow bone
tell me where's the sense in that?
you ever see ezra pound and that ridiculous hat he wore in
his last days? and a cape...
a fucking cape,
maybe we'll go throw these marrow bones the dog won't eat
on ezra pound's grave - right in the grass over his grave
& have willie nelson write a song about it
with waylon dead jennings on duet
ya ready? Now hit "Tools" then "Clear recent history"
that wasn't hard. now was it?
though i must admit it's a bit more difficult
when angels are in the air

Re: Bandit Notions
Waylon had a body double
a guy who looked just like him from the back
Most of the songs he sang, or maybe just most of my favorite songs he sang were covers of Billy Joe Shaver.
Turns out one of my favorite songs that Billy Joe sang was a cover of someone elses song
The Believer cross ref:
http://studioeight.tv/phpbb/viewtopic.p ... ds#p140712
Last I heard Billy Joe is still kicking after a couple of heart attacks one of which he had on stage but I heard he continued with the show.
He was just acquited for shooting some guy in Waco I think.
What the hey and what am I talking about or what does it have to do with sandboxes, grammcrackers, dogs, and snakes.
I like cats a lot too. Have you ever seen a little pussy cat take on a copperhead?
Quite a show, mostly ends badly for the snake.
Fischer yeah sad story, the ghost of christmas past, a self loathing jew. Nietzsche warned me about them. well he played some great chess, let his memory be blessed the way I see it. The Mormons want to baptise every person who ever died, from the dawn of man till now. They had already baptised a couple of hundred thousand holocaust victims before they stopped because everyone except the Mormons were pissed about it. Quakers don't believe in water baptims, they believe in holy ghost baptism, or the baptism of fire. I am in deep pain if I am wrong about that.
So anyway I dreamed about my father, Crazy Mike, two nights ago. He looked so young in my dream and when I woke up I realized that I am older than him now when he died.
Tense changes don't hate them
my favorite is the future will have been
I heard a song by loudin wainwright the third about his father, song called "I am older than my father now" or something like that
funny how sometimes you can trace a dream back to its source. kind of like a sernedippity what ever that is, or who ever it is spelled
I remember sneaking a peak at my eye que once in high school or jr high when ever they gave us whatever test it was that they gave to measure that, I want to say standford binet,
whatever it was 115
or so I remember
but I suffer from the little professor syncrome on the spectral autistic spectrom
I like to play games with people
Sometimes I go trolling for Boo Yah!'s.

Re: Bandit Notions
"Oh yeah, one more thing"
Visions of Peter Falk's trench coat
and moral hazards of life in the "united snakes of america"
If Hitler returned which maybe he will or has than I say bless him,
Bless Woodrow Wilson, he kept us out of the war. Bless Winston Churchil for keeping the Hebrew children in harms way.
Bless Balfour and his proclimation
God bless them all.
Bless all the dead dirty old men and their white man's burden
the lines on the maps they drew that have bleed and bleed so many millions lives wasted. Makes me want to be a Hindu too.
"Bless 'em All"
counting my blessings
I think I am going to call in sick to work.
play hookey
sandboxes and litter boxes
never the twain should meet
but cat scat in the sandbox
Maybe I better go to work after all
work on those typos later, maybe
if I hurry now I will only be about two hours late for work.
fray for pray
proclamation

Re: Bandit Notions
waylon had a body double? what fuckever for? shadows on the blue tarp that covers my mower - walon last jennings had a body-double. that was good about the cover songs. Chuckle bit. don't it figure though? this world. i wake up some mornings and the world is just spinning like it was when i went to bed like black soldiers in the Grand Army of the Republic. My neighbors went to see the Moody Blues at Turning Stone, the Indian casino.
My neighbors are my age - Geezer Power. Never saw a cat with a copperhead. But it makes me think i should paint something. Out with the dog yesterday, went down the backside of the ridge - snakes everywhere in the leaves - garter snakes - i think some of them were already getting into position to mate. they just woke up from their winter long dreams, ain't had their first meal yet and already putting the moves on each other.
Why are human beings so confused? I mean hell yeah Mongolia look at the snakes!
out on hookey is great. satisfies the criminal element in all of us.

Re: Bandit Notions
I am still looking for a piece you did that I can see when I close my eyes.
Incredible colors and exquisite scales like a snake. You remember that one?
Studio Eight is cranky today, or maybe it is my computer, wait forever for it to open.
Snapshot
The snake raised up to strike the cat airborne three feet looked like above the snakes body claws extended, jaws agape.
Thinking about something sad luck dame wrote about the stories we tell each other
The stories we tell each other
The stories we tell ourselves
I heard a bit I liked today
Been listening to this a lot the last couple of nights,
You remember a song by Johnathan Edwards called "Sunshine" "how much does it cost I'll buy it"

got me thinking about St Francis of Assisi a lot, a bit from his final poem,Mysteries of the Middle Ages : the rise of feminism, science, and art from the cults of Catholic Europe
Thinking about slipping away for a day at the beach. Or maybe I should buy this instead only 259 bucks probably cost me that much to go to the coast"may Christ teach you what is yours to do"

Re: Bandit Notions
Glad you found it, Jack. i was going nuts with which one you might be talking about. Think I'm gonna have some Triskets & Swiss cheese. Man some days are longer than others. I always liked that line of Bukowski's that goes, "and the days run away like wild horses over the hills"

Re: Bandit Notions
I don't remember what I was dreaming but I just woke up and two thoughts,Columbine and Hitler's birthday, were lingering in mind. Must have been a hell of a dream.
No doubt these are my wild horse days.

Re: Bandit Notions
The "aging brain" yeah, that's what I got, in spades. As usual it is the perception of things that is the real crux and not the facts. I feel that sense that time is moving faster for me these days but I don't really think that - I think I'm finally catching up to how fast it has always been going.
Zippity do da.
the vanishing point is somewhere up ahead - no pretending anymore - even beginning to realize it may be the greatest moment of this existence - to quote a Jew name of Paul who described it thus - " where what is mortal is swallowed up by life " ...
the hound is sleeping at my feet, just got back from the woods where I take him out. He's been favoring one of his front paws the last couple of days - I checked it when we got back from our walk yesterday but I didn't find anything so it must be small - like a thorn or something like that. He was moving better today. On our way back he caught sight of a turkey running off - Holy Wham Bams Roadman! I had just hooked his leash up and he took off. Dragged me through briers & honeysuckle, over logs and rocks, had to duck branches during all of this. I discovered when a dog this big, and usually quite lazy, decides to move you just hang on or let go.
I wonder if John Lee Pettimore had this kind of problem.
