At the divorce hearing, the judge turned to Micky and said, "I can't grant you a divorce from Minnie just because you said she was crazy". "I never said she was crazy, your honor, I said she was f*#king Goofy."

Let there be light, or dirt, or both.
However, I do have two questions.
Floor of the tank on the upstream side of the Twin Towers of El Portal.
Is this the tank the motorcycle rider used to do loops in?
Ate those tats on Sly real?
Well, three.
Is that the window that Bob Dylan was so concerned with?
Are you frightened of the box you keep him in
While his genocide fools and his friends rearrange
Their religion of the little tin women
That backs up their views but your face is so bruised
Come on out the dark is beginning
Can you please crawl out your window?
Use your arms and legs it won’t ruin you

CLEANING WINDOWS LYRICS
Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street, got in my nose
As we carried our ladders down the street with the wrought-iron gate rows
I went home and listened to Jimmie Rodgers in my lunch-break
Bought five woodbines at the shop on the corner
And went straight back to work
Oh, Sam was up on top and I was on the bottom with the V
We went for lemonade and Paris buns at the shop and broke for tea
I collected from the lady and I cleaned the fanlight inside-out
I was blowing saxophone on the weekend in that down joint
What's my line? I'm happy cleaning windows
Take my time, I'll see you when my love grows
Baby don't let it slide, I'm a working man in my prime
Cleaning windows, number thirty-six
I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon on the street where I was born
Sonny Terry, Brownie McGee, Muddy Waters singin', "I'm a Rolling Stone"
I went home and read my Christmas Humphreys' book on Zen
Curiosity killed the cat, Kerouac's 'Dharma Bums' and 'On The Road'
What's my line? I'm happy cleaning windows
Take my time, I'll see you when my love grows
Baby don't let it slide, I'm a working man in my prime
Cleaning windows
What's my line? I'm happy cleaning windows
Will I take my time? I'll see you when my love grows
Don't let it slide, I'm a working man in my prime
Cleaning windows

The question has often been asked, "So. What did you do yesterday??"
Well, I am able to answer that, "I went to Lake Yosemite. I had a long walk up the Merced Irrigation District's Main Canal, which feeds directly off the Merced. So, starting at the parking lot at the end of Old Lake Road, I proceeded to an old concrete bridge, crossed it, got into some slightly rising terrain on that bank, called a halt and turned around about a mile or so south of the Highest Point Closest to Town--or is it the Closest Highest Point to Town. It's confusing. Anyway, babble on like a mud hen, I will, usless birds."
This was the 19th, Saturday. It was a miniature course in geography. It was hot, but not roasting. I saw not one other person, not even a golfer on the thirteenth hole at Merced Hills Golf Club.
Those were mostly the flying birds whose portraits are worthy for your eyes.
The foliage is not truly changing to fall. Wait a week or two.
I'll be back.
The inlet lake off the canal's terminus.

Could be the worst boondoggle disaster ever, though much of it has potential.

Sitting alone in the dark
Listening to the lyrics of a meadowlark
Nothing getting in the way
It's the best part of a summer's day

A SUMMER EVENING
by Isaac Watts
How fine has the day been! how bright was the sun!
How lovely and joyful the course that he run.
Though he rose in a mist when his race he begun,
And there followed some droppings of rain!
But now the fair traveller's come to the west,
His rays are all gold, and his beauties are best.
He paints the sky gay as he sinks to his rest,
And foretells a bright rising again.
Just such is the Christian; his course he begins
Like the sun in a mist, when he mourns for his sins,
And melts into tears; then he breaks out and shines,
And travels his heavenly way;
But when he comes nearer to finish his race,
Like a fine setting sun, he looks richer in grace,
And gives a sure hope, at the end of his day,
Of rising in brighter array.
Old-school engraving.
