Bite me,
frak me,
just never let me
be phony.

Any universe that has
room in it
for a wild turkey in
the courtyard of
Lexington Corporate Center
is all
right by me.

Update 2:30 pm,
2 Men in white shirts came into
the courtyard and herded
the turkey away.

Plan B, C, D, E and F
are the same as Plan A,
get off this fraking planet.

Hey you, nice legs !

Heh, nice parking !

JOHN STEINBECK recounted in a 1953 article for Harper’s Bazaar what it was like to travel with a hired Italian driver in a Fiat 500 on the Amalfi Coast road:

“Flaming like a meteor we hit the coast, a road high, high above the blue sea that hooked and corkscrewed on the edge of nothing, a road carefully designed to be a little narrower than two cars side by side. And on this road, the buses, the trucks, the motor scooters and the assorted livestock.

“We didn’t see much of the road. In the back seat my wife and I lay clutched in each other’s arms, weeping hysterically.”

This is all right.

I believe there is no free will.
I believe there is no god.
I believe in hedonism:

richardwood401 (10:27:45 AM): we are just some meat in a bag of salty water marching around to the tune of our DNA.

Red tail hawk
this morning
perusing the
bike path menu
harried
by 2 small birds
giving it all
they are worth.

The bright morning sun was out and the air was sharp and clear.
I was lucky to see two of these turkey vultures.
They were perched on a chimney of a house.
In unison they turned their heads.
Weighing me as carrion.

He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells
Don't see lights a flashin'
Plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay
Never tilts at all
That deaf, dumb and blind Than
Sure plays a mean pinball

And what did you do today?

I put a dimple in the fabric of space-time !

In the parking lot across the street from Lexington Corporate Center.

The man opened the hatchback of his car and
the golden retriever, generously silvered,
stood waiting patiently.

The man bent down, reached around the chest
of the dog and lifted the dog's front legs into
the car.

The man then wrapped his arms around the back
end of the dog and gently lifted into the car.
All was done with practiced grace.

maverickz31 (9:39:42 AM): Happy "holy crap" Monday

maverickz31 (9:40:26 AM): the origin of the phrase "holy crap" comes from what Jesus did after being dead for 3 days.

Lesson in sound.

I thought I knew the call of a blue jay.
Sort of a raucous challenging sound.
This morning I was stopped by a sound
that was a cross between a British police siren
heard through a flugelhorn.
I stopped and looked into a bush
and low and behold it was a
blue jay.
Thanks blue jay for bringing your "A" game.

My super powers.

super sight - to see whats really going on.
super hearing - to listen.
super smell - to know the truth.
super taste - to enjoy being of this world.
super touch - to be connected.

Kiss me I am jeebus !

When St. Patrick's Day is on a Friday, certain bishops grant a release from the traditional Lent Friday no-meat observance. This release is called the "corned-beef indult."

Experiment to see who loves you more.

1) Lock wife and dog in the trunk of your car.
2) Drive around for an hour.
3) Open trunk and note who is happy to see you.

School across from 101 America Avenue, Providence RI.

Along the bike path this morning in Bedford
there were hundreds of starlings
in the trees making a cacophony of noise like
school children at recess,
on a nice sunny day.

T. S. Eliot said:

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
