Sounds like a Brautigan poem

Wish for fish
and you'll have him.
Yes, I did think of Brautigan too and my catfish friend, as soon as I said that.
Making bait in the corner of the canoe.

I've seen some footage on the Hobie Mirage - it's too pricey for me and I don't know how long I could paddle it sitting down like that - I would like to demo one just to see what the experience would be like. There are a bunch of kayak manufacturers now who offer fishing kayaks - I've seen some of these up close and some of them are modded out sweet - if you're into fishing - built in rod holders, bait wells - places to hold your catch - hookups for anything ya take fishing -

[stilltrucking]

Fishing not that much on my agenda,
just the solitude, the silence, the sounds, sensations of being on the water,

There is a kayack rental place near here, forty bucks I think. My best bet before I blow my stack.

The things we do for love,
my brother a psychiatrist, a physician, and a good one, I think he could have been a medicine man, he knows that there is a science to it, but he still believes in the art of it too.

Well anyway when I told him I was moving in here he gave me a free diagnosis.
"That's crazy"

how about this boat made from recycled plastic bottles.

SAN FRANCISCO — Banking heir David de Rothschild is sailing across the Pacific Ocean on 12,000 plastic bottles.

Wow.

only the lonely can be taxed ten thousand ways to pay for the upkeep of the roads to nowhere but the wildflowers grow there as the seasons turn toward the domestication of dogs & donuts.

A lost boy who lived with his grandmother up in the mountains discovered she had died one morning and he was found by state troopers bouncing a ball back & forth over a chain he had strung between two pine trees.

He told the troopers he didn't know what else to do.

O pine tree
O wildflowers
O the lonely

In the early days of the Constitution there was a tax rebellion by unpaid disgruntled Revolutionary War vets & the "poor". The rebels all took to wearing a sprig from the hemlock tree in their hats.

O pine tree

[stilltrucking]

"a penny for my thoughts would not tax my mind at all"

I was thinking about the whiskey rebellion, can't remember much about it but it sounded like a good time was had by all.

I am a tree hugger
I have no shame

[the mingo]

i remember shame - it's just that I ain't had to use it for quite some time - i used to have some around here somewhere but i can't remember at the moment where i put it. I think i sold a load on consignment some year ago to a confederate military outfit that was on it's way to the west coast i believe, but i thought i held some back for my own use as one never knows when one might have a need for a little shame.

my best shot likely will be the result of accident. Hope to God it is so.

language fell from outer space & got stillborn bittersweetly as a fast food joint in a prime location. Now history has no place to hide. What goes on keeps going on and no one knows yet when it will end.

i got a fantasy spun around it, well, in places anyway.

a text, any text, is a weaving.

parse anyone?

[stilltrucking]

shame, got to have it if we want to be civilized I suppose like jimmy cricket.



I deleted one here about Norwegian zombies and dead language, , it seemed a little to negative
sorry

storm coming through tornado warnins south of here, nothing like a little weather excitement

i visited a navy buddy's grandmother once years ago. She lived way the hell out in east Jesus Nebraska. She was practically in Wyoming. She showed me her storm cellar but she didn't call it that - she called it a "hidey hole". It was away from & out back of the house. She said "you hear or see a twister comin' you run for the hidey hole and you get in there & you strap the door down tight behind you and you don't come back out, no matter what, 'til you can hear nothin' at all." I said that they tell people nowdays to get into a doorway in the middle of their house for protection. She replied "Shit on that! - they live out here and ain't got the sense God gave a stone to dig a hidey hole then all you can do is feel sorry for them - when them swirly winds come at me going better than 200 miles a hour the only safe place to be is in the earth!"

“G_____ S_______ work reconsiders rural Southern spiritualism in a more open, contingent realm where archetypal stories take on an urban patina. Fusing elements of craft, graffiti, Native and Mesoamerican iconographies and the conflicted genre of visionary/outsider art, he fashions a renovated vision of regional history.

Fuck what? -
I would rather discover something for myself then to read what another discoverer failed at finding or completely missed.

From the above quote ( and there's a lot of this kind of thing floating around ) & as it is I do not believe anatomically modern humans survived the ice age.

[stilltrucking]

I do not believe anatomically modern humans survived the ice age.

That is an interesting thought. That's why I come here, you always got something that interests me. I always assumed that we must have survived because here we are.


Check this out if you get the chance. Scientists think they have found the Garden of Eden. Sort of. They say only a small population of people survived maybe only 200 or so. That is why among all the spieces we are the least genetically divergent. We are all related back to a couple of hundred individuals. I like that thought even if I may not ever know if it is true or not. Reminds me of an old song I liked, Me and my Folks, You and your Folks

'Recent finds suggest the small population that gave rise to all humans alive today survived by exploiting a unique combination of resources along the southern coast of Africa.'

i checked that out, Jack...did some reading a few months ago about caves in the same area - said they discovered beads that predate the oldest known by 50,000 years or something like that. Of course there is plenty of argument on that score...
