brumation, a state similar to hibernation

no alligators here
edit: Hey, and no shitstorms, out-of-control-conflagrations (we have first responders standing by),
name-calling, abuse, or political nonsense here on this thread.
Isn't it peaceful by comparison to other threads?

Socket Man
adaptation by
Sir Elton John Grace
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine AM
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a socket man
Socket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a socket man
Socket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A socket man, a socket man
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a socket man
Socket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a socket man
Socket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time

It’s all Greek to me...
(some things get lost in translation)
Listening a bit closer to Joe Koker's chorus I put 4-5 hours earlier and saying that every generation has its way I once again thought that if a generation opposes some things, it does well. It is, however, good not to be identified much with its own characteristics (it slowly acquires). It can also compete with its own stuffs.

Carbon Monoxide Death
Placing two logs
on the midnight coals
I fell back asleep
I could not remember
did I open the window
at least just a crack
the specter appeared
in a rippling desert
it held out a lifeless hand
Taking a bottle
from it’s boney hand
I lifted it to my parched lips
I found it was empty
death was so empty
dreams were impossible
When death is empty
so it goes
with death being empty
We are born and we die
such beauty to see
seems like a waste
the specter came
could not keep me awake
by my own hand I smite me

I'm doin' otay down thisaway, DMT.
At least I'm not stuck on Mars.
Or lyin' dead and havin' empty dreams.
MEANWHILE, over in Gnomeland, things have changed rapidly. In just one week,
the former tenant was evicted and developers moved in with heavy equipment.
You're now looking at what the power of fairy dust can do.
Don't hate me, I'm just the messenger.

It is like it was an Eviction?
that's a flower power re-mentoring of a once proud Gnome thing!
seems like my lap top might have been attacked by a virus,

I'm getting this Live when I hit "post a reply"?

Anyway, (whew? that's better)Although not really.
when I had the chance I found a free up-loadable virus scanning App.
A syncopation I'd rather not be sharing.
Sharing here or in real time
with a million other people.
As troubles started,
the dearth of things
that help to make the merry-go-round
go around merrily
is how so many of us live
If you call it living
live.
And in a sad parallel twist,
personally and nationally
we have already had a shutdown visited on us.
For every one of the last dozen seasons of greetings,
we have had some minor relief.
not so this year
(personally, and nationally)
When you add to that a shutdown,
where there were already no funds,
the result is what we see.
What we see is what we get.
There is no victory
it scares the pants off me
the way the left is gloating as the rumpster caves.
It is adding fuel to the dumpster fire.
3 weeks under the threat of the stooge
Who is tasked with taking every & any step
to further an enemy of our nation's agenda.
That the central premise is to use the structures of our laws to destroy us.
A plan already put into action that is on-going,
now it appears to have been missed by most.
The current task should be to understand the powers granted to a president, revised under the patriot act.
You could just as easily call it the putin clause to the constitution.
From the crowing about how big the cave was, coming from the left, you'd think there was some light at the end of some tunnel
when we are in a pit.
I know these tricks, things will go on being very scary as debts for so many will now make financial security scarce.
No one is mentioning the late fees, the penalties, reconnect & resumption of service fees.
o\Or the docking of credit that comes from missing a car payment.
the old warnings of pride or too much confidence,
or that there is no more dangerous animal in the zoo...
Enter a friday night that has no possibility of any form of Libation
A 4:30 call
A 5:15 out the door
Yipee Its Saturday Y'all
Every Saturday for the last 6 months.
almost to the last?
it would be nice
I'm feeling personally trolled by this year's talk of ice climbing.
A thing I think I miss.
so I went to the disaster that is a garden shed
And retrieved some old obsolete hammers and axes
Heavy, thick pick'd, to wide a grip
what the heck was I thinking
I'll have to try
but I can't hold these tools above my head and swing them too.

cinco de mayo
been down this road before
wait until the fifth of may
drive out strickland road
turn left on apple lane
drive three miles past row of elms
spot scarecrow in field on right
locate gap in fence
between two willows on the left
see snowcapped peak to east
hike on foot for four miles
along north shore of shoal creek
look for shady ravine to north
with dead logs and dense leaves
locate ladybug nest
find three foot wide white rock nearby
push or roll rock to side
dig down about two feet
locate leather satchel and look inside
plastic bag will contain lottery ticket
check for winning numbers
wether or not you decide
to accept this mission
this message will self destruct
in ten seconds

the state of our non-expertise
Me...
the pain you felt at my birth
Sty...
the condition we’ve made of our world
Oily...
the state of our grace
Set...
the one percent
Kings...
the ones who have but nothing
JFK...
for him there’ll be neither justice or truth
Surf...
rising to wash the sand beneath our feet
Pigs...
at your pulpits and behind mighty desks
Who...
the question each generation asks
Thanks...
a wise person’s humble reply
Time...
ethereal and a thing we cannot grasp
Death...
our only true possession

Accosted as I crossed a street, by one in a less presentable condition than my self, it made us both cry to have to recognize in each other, our shared
desperate plight. A can of beer in his hand, me looking to beg some hits off a blunt. He too far from sanity to remember. I not wanting to look
No, I not wanting to have to remember that there but for the grace of what
go I .
place feet,
tick-tick tax,
bury a tool
not too deep
rest
Reset feet a foot higher
tick-tick tax
move tools up
to the left or right
repeat

The Wild Wilderness Quintet
Roy Rabbit showed up
to dinner with his sax
boxing the ear holes
of his long time friend
Bobby the Boa
with his mean mondo harp
let loose a squealing blues riff
right in the ear of his rabbit pal
as Roy greeted Sally Pelican
at the door
his ear ringing angrily
Paybacks a bitch tiger
Speaking of tigers
Benny the Bengal
deep orange with black stripes
and growling bass clarinet
bounced in the door
and gave Sally a start
who almost dropped
her prized Stradivarius
And right on queue
to bring up the rear
Zinnias the Zebra
with his timpani from the symphony
their kettle drum dynamo
and chief impresario
said baby let’s party
with hors d'oeuvres all around
there soon came the sound
of some rollicking licks
and a jazz piece so sick
that folks started dancing
all over the town

Wackbard as usual,
sometimes when there’s nothing at all to say,
I try to say something positive...
Mr Welcome, Mr Backwoods, and Mr Saturday Night
To never know what you might find here
or what is what or who is who
matters less in the long run
you’re unlikely to be made the fool
here’s to walking near a strangers camp
not to get the boot
but friendly salutations
with a beverage and some food
here’s to roaming deep among the sticks
to not be shown the door
but bouldering above the toadstools
and lilies on the forest floor
Here’s to falling down upon the dumps
to not be given grief
but counseled with love and care
and thoughtfulness beyond belief
Here’s to browsing on the Flames thread
controversy here quite rare
you’ll find mellow times with climber folk
with art and music for to share
You’ll never know what to find here
or what is what or who is who
it matters little in the long run
you’ll rarely be made the fool

A coup that could have happened but didn't.
Curious there are a few guitarists here on ST. Acoustic, electric: Just trying to get how many.

Ok! I know but you, yes you posted a photo so just want to respond to that one. And politics for another time and another place but just couldn't resist that temptation good or evil.
