Re: South American way

sure you aren't here?
(frogs, rain)

congrats, you two!
very excited for you.
as you must be...
though, as much as you've traveled, maybe it feels normal?

except the retire thing...that's gotta be wild and new.

hope the envy doesn't show.
(though we're glad to be stuck here)


yee-haw!

Re: trump off the CO ballot

I'm annoyed at the new direction america has taken. That's why i rag at her...she's become a weapons dealer; a beast with slovenly ways; should know better... the surveillance is creepy and dishonest. The prison population is appalling. Public transport, lacking. Corruption instead of transparency.....

Re: Weather

big rain is all. saw some northern lights last 2 nites (2:30 a.m.) bad news here, and most of the eastern U.S., is that the emerald ash borer will infest other trees when they run out of ash. We're seeing the insect more than we had last year. They killed every ash tree on the place. also we caught ...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

I don't see power shifting back and forth. In the play, there are minor issues that 'power' doesn't care about, so we're allowed to wrestle with that stuff, giving the appearance of a fair fight. War, to me, is the most significant issue, along with climate and biosphere disruptions. Both parties ar...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

wishful thinking about money in electoral politics... we already know that big donors (representing corporate interest) give to both sides. That should tell you something. They don't really care who wins, assuming any radical 'outsider' has been adequately assassinated by the corporate media. Both s...

Re: Does the Southern Hemisphere still have Boy Scouts?

never did learn knots; too dyslexic anyway.
odd that it's never much mattered, being a scout-like human.
the 'triple little kid's knot' has gotten me through some pickles.
or wrapping a line like a guitar string...that works too.

Re: Does the Southern Hemisphere still have Boy Scouts?

My dad didn't encourage us to join. His father forbid it, due to the dehumanizing effect of the uniform. The scouts I knew tended to be very straight laced and authoritarian leaning. Training for the military or law enforcement. We hadn't heard about the pedos back then. I didn't know about the 'no ...

Re: Planet America

Poor people have every reason to fear cops and the rich people they work for. It's not about maintaining law and order as much as maintaining an arbitrary and twisted order that protects property stolen by banks from the newly homeless who are also suddenly criminals. We don't vote for this corrupti...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

MM, you're very jaded in a nice way, like wearing rose colored spectacles. I hate to sound ungrateful, but America has been eroding its freedoms lately and needs to be corrected. We don't have a free press. Truthful reporters can't be allowed to speak if it's counter to the sponsor's agenda. Social ...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

MM, you've already been debunked on this argument. It is bad form to march it out again without new supporting evidence. If by "debunked" you mean "someone disagreed", yeah. yup, not a 'gotcha' thing at all. Glad to have a venting opportunity, MM. And, yes...modernity raised liv...
