From the well of pseudo or real intellectualism , I can't tell. . .
I find it mind numbing to try to follow mikeL but then of course
Werner, Mark Force and Mh2 ,co- Handel the misanthrope. . .
Here is SONNET 73
That time of year thou may'st in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day,
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by-and-by black night doth take away,
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire
Consum'd with that which it was nourish'd by.
This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
From The Bard, a nickname I've held at arms length Shakes yer' Spear.
It fits the ascending of the old climbers plight; that which does not kill me makes me lame for days or weeks...
I miss clunk-in' up ice....

Doctor my eyes you say? Got that right. I still haven't gone in and gotten my eyes plastized yet. However, in this case it's the light not my vision that is dim.
Anyway, this was no Dress Reheasal, Mr. Ostrander lived five houses up from me and this car won trophies. Nobody knows what became of it other than it was sold to his uncle.
There was a fellow on that very same street (Halsey) who murdered his wife and buried her body in the backyard.
Growing up in CV was somewhat different from growing up in Merced and most likely a lot of other places.

What is mind, as if it doth matter,
When 'mongst the stars someday it may scatter?
The thoughts that it thought will be drowned by the chatter
Of the millions of souls who were mad as a hatter.

Please post comments in the appropriate forum and keep hands inside the vehicle at all times. Can I have my shades back?

The law is not fickle, but the finger is.
But who's telling the truth, Your Honor?
Guilty, guilty, guilty!

The Eagles and losing Mr Frey...too big for just one forum.
So Long Glenn Frey
When I think about the Eagles
And the music that they played
I could always find a lyric
That related in some way
To the things that I was going through
And the questions that they weighed
With relationships and recovery
They were relevant that way
In the lonely Desperado
I took solace in the plight
Of broken dreams and promises
On long and hopeless nights
And in Hotel California
Where addiction comes to light
Where you can never leave
But check out- any time you like
I won't quote them precisely
I can't plagiarize like that
And only hope to honor them
In particular where we're at
We have lost another icon to
The reaper and his bat
'Take it Easy' Mr Frey
You were a cool and crazy cat

It's only The Bird and Kamps I know (of). Though I would say two out of five ain't bad for a CV Hodad.
Larry Gordon paddle out. I didn't go. Sort of wish I had.
Good thing that Berkeley prof invented wetsuits.
I don't recognize any of these guys, but up close I may have..
An old friend of mine took up the bagpipes so why not? i have not been able to locate him, but this ain't the guy

Did not get exactly 1000 by anything other than chance. What's the chance of that?

The snow is finally forecast. A nor'easter for an overnight (Saterday)
that, then will let the Ice Get phat, the only way, if the rug-rats & better half, will say ok,
that I'll risk the fun of swinging axes.
K, Iknow that it's a deep January day & that plenty of other threads need this maybe more the us heads
There is the Dear Mr Fantasy>Hey Jude Or the Wang Dang doodle(s) an Aiko or Women Are Smarter. . .Oh well here is what was loaded when I nodded off

I kind of hoped to escape big snow myself this year but it seems a big nor' easter is building
Aims to drop some thing like 15 inches over Saterday night I will be glad if it is off track and blasts jersey
One more I'm into Beatles dead add some Zimmerman from '83? Tangled Up In Blue?[Click to View YouTube Video] was so happy .
