re} sleep
sleep it don't come easy
sleep when it comes
if I ain't driving, I drop and grab me some
yes sometimes when I'm driving Narcolepsy comes over me
Riding an electric car now, that happens more often
the exaggerated golf cart pushes it like a penny-ante street-dealer
A Sleep It is a toxic drug

I'll point to now and yester Then when I got a good chuckle
DoDonald Perry was going to be going off
it drew mfm in
Then I was one of 3 to get a joke
There was my namesake to respond to too
there was this to point out too
I don't pull the plastic
I never did much
I have a gym card that is precious to me
From some LaLa gym
the thing is somewhere
It is yellow still legible
And what makes it so valuable to me
Is it is signed by
Shapooppi

When-in-Where-for I'm still Here for two to four for
Can't say all there is to say now
It is that time of day how
to have to start the day now
I have a lot to say on a wide range of subjects
karooms off of various thread themes
well felted by the snooker
pocketed too
both forms of billiards
no time to play pool
I ranked, was a demon with a cue
always usin' da bridge or a step-up
I couldn't barely reach the other edge
I was a monster drainin' tables
had to be carded and paid to be guarded
Banging ballz & banging on the cliffs
played right
roped up tight
Pre-view climbing, a way that was seen as cheating
and so my ground-up was only rarely counted.
Not near the cutting edge,I had an eye for a line
going at it night and day
often high-as-a-kite- they'd say
What did they know, absolutely nothing
what did she know anyway
No one ever asked her,
then she went away
Credited twice or thrice
If: "Mike you know who you are", counts
as a rule, discounted
discounted by the fun,
and for the way I made some
for from a cops daughter, I had some
lease too a space below the cliff
and car to couch till
A special place
that piked a certain KEOs interest
fair play the way I came and went
came and went
took all the arrows
hanging in slings was not a thing
for all 5 feet of me.
the two inches that there were left
were to be all free
my weenis ruled it was well schooled
and that also got in the way
made others crazy Joe Jackson
ya gotta eat I cooked
and handed out parking tickets with a SMILE on
there was no greater pool hustling rock climbing dealin' deadhead fool
than yours-truly
I was a mid-night cowboy in the heat alone with a topless teacher
I was an on-call security guard
a truck depot overnight watcher
or an energy factory round the plant driver
hit the spot click the clock
be off the clock at sunrise
no monitor
sleep? what was that
4 hours at the drop if that
I wasnt much past 5 foot
I'd never linked two walls
and never wanted to work that hard
I wrote poetry under a hat & mirrored glasses
and the badge was fake
Collecting Quarters from standing shapes
while those on the pipe watched and plotted
over the $60 bucks in Quarters
the radio I carried looped through the public works garage
the dispatch heard that one of their boys was lynched
pounded bleeding on the curb
from some guy with a shovel
filling potholes and flushing sewers
life was tough like that
zing gotta go spurt the homies
Fanny Screaming Patoot
That!The picture below,
oh oh some has to say it
it is Womb-stop
Start
Or sa Ending
really
It is totally
vaguely ()
u would bahn me
if I used the
correct word correctly
(or any of the other half dozen words)

Photo made the other night by the official photographer of Yosemite Facelift, Dakota Snider (shown below being the center of attention in a funny moment at the Facelift nightly drawing).
Thanks for sharing this, neebee.

[QUOTE]RANDY - WTF?
1st off. you don't know No Me (Har harhar)
and if I told you the history
you'd have to go have big AL
to tell you about Katie Wilkenson !
& that is a long time ago!
(that's not happening,is,it)
(Almost everybody else is dead!)
but
OMG!? peddling toward disaster ? please, thats hard to hear!
Please - -be effin careful!-
I have stopped riding
& "a couch potato". I resemble that remark
I walk with a limp
to get to the climbing (Rapp in, climb 5.7 mini-trax, tr back up, limp home)
& there are Carriage roads to ride
not single track desert wash
you intimately know one of the all-time saddest stories.
Of all the climber's climbers to have gone heels over headset into the dirt ! !
Tom,( who's name I'll butcher if I try to spell it !)
Tom Gilje, who fractured his neck mountain biking with his kids near Moab.
the hero of the hard sends
the mutant of major ascents, ten years ahead of the times,
When that was a huge deal
from a certain time! (again, now, a long time ago)
Ive just lit a candle & the better half will throw cards[/QUOTE]
what is VITALY Ms; email addy?=
http://vividrea1ity.blogspot.com/
It seems I'm locked out of my "bookmarks"
The corruption is on board, I have not been to any new sights,
I only visit the Mnt Reject here & youtube.
It was while trying to watch videos that things 1st went south,
I still can only hear videos, after watching one....
not sure whats going on?
O -glorious Day-break da camera trying to gather the view
2/19/19 make no mistake as I did

And when its good \

Gracias. And my eyes thank you, too.
Merced College Art Gallery will feature an exhibition of photographs
by Jay Sousa and Roger Wyan from Feb. 25 to March 21 with a reception
March 1 from 6 - 7:30 p.m. at 3600 M St., Merced. Info at 209-384-6064.
The exhibit is of their work over decades shooting the Merced River.
Sounds like a plan I have been pursuing as I can.
http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=2184929&msg=2184929#msg2184929
And I plan on going to that reception.
Bridwell appreciated well-made plans and he was adaptable in the extreme.
But one thing about him that I recall is that he could sew a very straight seam.

In fact, parts of Ortega Highway are so dangerous that at times they will claim several lives per year, usually those of motorcyclists who have the bad luck to be caught on one of these turns by a car, or who skid out of control and are thrown from their bikes.
I do not think the thread is random.
For my part, many of my posts have been underr development for many years!

I don't think it's incoherent.
I just don't think, just react.
Some ideas were hatched, not made.
This thread was hatched, dumped in a bowl,
and mixed robustly with a hand-carved wooden spoon
while sprinkling fairy dust (to your taste),
adding poetic license with care and
then baking it all day in a hornitos out in the back yard
(or set your oven to 350 if no hornitos).
Let it cool.
Enjoy it with fizzy water or this fine liquid.Wish me success, don't burden me with guilt.
