At Corona del Mar State Beach on Wednesday, a Tibetan monk releases into the ocean sand from a mandala created at UCI.
And then everyone danced.

The Dalai Lama was there for a visit, see.


Reagan Fantasy at Midnite

To sleep, perchance to dream,
To waken, then to scheme,
Based on what you've seen,
But now it's Halloween
A madcap, childish scene,
For love of the jelly bean.

Itty Bitty

Little bitty Itty Bitty
Went to bed
While feeling shitty
Though he thought he was exceptional
He was just a roach
In this small ditty

Little bitty Itty Bitty
He is no more
Now such a pity
But life as like remains the same
For most cockroaches
In the city

technically, that's Big Corona.

Yeah I know the place. I rescued some rich woman's dog there once.

Just yonder up north across the channel lies The Wedge, where I rescued myself a time or two.


Do not confuse with Little Corona. If ya get confused use this helpful guide provided courtesy of:

Heidi Toso-Your Realtor for life!

Why not Coronita? Ask Heidi.


I did not rescue this Whale Baby who showed up at The Wedge one day.

Interesting mix when you start stirring in boards, people and whales and a good swell.

Just the facts and the overview ma'am? The Wedge, Big Corona, no Little Corona in sight (that's why it is preferred by the 'locales').



Anyway, to get back to where we used to be, I hope the magic works and that that Monk was not sand-bagging us.

So far it's zBrown eight, noseeums zero.

Brown [!] sugar, water, yeast => CO2 => biting midges like moths to a flame

Once you catch the little devils, you can actually see them.

Incidence of bites is way down.

I got a photo once of some no-shows.

But it was after the fact.

Fortunately, they were not part of the act.

So that show went on, in spite of the locals, who were holding a protest march outside about littering.

My Peace Made

Do not bury me
I won't be moldering in the grave
Smothered by the earth
Whose worms stink as far as my nose can see
And I don't want to sleep with the fishes
Their fishy lips must not kiss on me
No parasitic bath times
I must stay dry as I can be

No flaming conflagrations
To burn and cremate
Or make fragrant incense of me
To smolder on chokingly
Do not make a poultice
From the slime of my remains
Like snail tracks or tobacco stains
Please leave intact my brains

Tiny bites the bugs must take
Abandon there this carrion
For the mice and birds of prey
Dried by the winds of wilderness
What peace there I shall find
Alone with sky whose my old friend
Leave me not to the hands of man
They know no tenderness

_PUP'PEEE!!!



B I c , a new person
A puppy be,

A to see the way they grow !

From round eyed wonder-pack of giggles to surly teenager miscreant

I love dogs. And have counted many
As better friends than any people

Sweet eyed, licking up the floor
Ground score, piles every where
Behind a fence and
snarly -sneez'y,
so stinky when wet.

At rest at play
Some working or always at bay
Some will always bray just when it's appropriate
At the stranger approaching from behind a closed door

What say we go, 'walk about' ?
Maybe go on a - see and talk about ?
Get a pair of Doggies
and ya' see the world in a different light
Some how, Mor'en twice da poop,
its cause, enough, to wear out a scoop


Share everything from 1st light
no please -not in the bed ? Please!
For In no time they'll be fartin' up a storm,
So in their place
at the foot
or in the circle of light at the door


Worse for wear as time grows,
the foreboding of the inevitable
as a possible test of true love
It all becomes Above the call
way beyond 3 years of diaper duty
But still
No where near the rigors of infant rearing

A big drooler' that is a ruler of all that it occupies
That is a Great Dane , Newfie & St Bernard, thing
I can tell you , you can do with out . . .
Big dawgs rule? Not if they drool

Then that barking goes
as older pooch just loves to snuggle
and be wedged against the mirror back
as to where one begins and one ends
is hard to figure out.

Till the thunder claps,
then there is no doubt
They are both

Pussy-Cats!

American Green Inc. announced Thursday it is buying all 80 acres of Nipton, which includes its Old West-style hotel, a handful of houses, an RV park and a coffee shop. Its plans are to transform the old Gold Rush town into what it calls "an energy-independent, cannabis-friendly hospitality destination."

Max Efficiency

Max was a fish in the sea
But where else would he be?
A lake, or pond, or a river free
But Max was a salt water fish you see

Max had friends a 'plenty
A popular fish was he
With the shark, the crab, and the anchovy
And the Oceanographical Society

Max's best friend was a goby
In who's school Max swam for free
Allowing max efficiency
For Max, a fish, in sea

Formula for Benighted Leadership

a cocoeffiecient partnership
in a deeply codependent relationship
with your own self-sufficient e-go-go
and the maximum amount of head-head-headroom

with even more room for some general gossip
some faked cordiality & a touch of heartfelt disregard
self-opinion polls which state very good to excellent or even most-favored
and with banners saying "I rock"

wearing the mask of the wisdom of sorrow
we row row row your boat up the river Nile
your toupee somehow reminiscent of Pharaoh's beard
and all that jazz

in fact, it's enough to piss off a few slack Buddhists,
reduce everything to absurdity,
cause me to be late for work again,
and make today the low point of a never-ending curve of love

At the last minute, on the afternoon of the full moon, the proviso changed.
I was requested by the co-dependent, to accompany her, instead of her regular art date.
in place of the previously , planned, but now other-wise engaged, ensconced in Hoytee-toytee Beyond The " Cape" , The -"Vineyard " if you must know,
So on the full moon during the blissful cool of night I painted and was painting as was the group of ten or so I hope to share the snaps,
More after I go pay
Taxes
Taxes on a car I no longer own.
It is the last slap after the newscast from last week, the end of July
And Volkswagen announces a' Fix' that wil only reduce efficiency by 3miles a gallon.
While reducing the emissions to no Trumped reduced regulations.
So when I was given the option the roll of the dice ,ma thing built for the totally stable, and not my Jenna stack , that is my house of cards,
So to have to have made a choice between an good chunk of change or a promise of a fix in the future I took the more sure thing , the full buy out , a refunding of the value of the car according to the 'book' value before the spot lighting of the fake test softwares presence.
