Halloween eve

thinking about Halloween and how nice it would be to have a fire in the backyard. remembering the dead

151st post, and why I say the Doors are underappreciated even though they opened for the Monkeys

The Doors set a a precedent of white psychedelic blues, -but specifically the key board work of Ray Manzarek ,that was carried into the 1970's by many other bands . What to speak of Morrisons theatrical ingenious lyrics and being the general whacked out frontman rocker. Too bad he died. Some band members still perform occasionally.

tunes of note of late: Queen of the highway (Essential rareities) , Morrison chants 'bring out your dead' and rings a bell before they start ' the end' on the same album. pretty amusing live recording overall.

happy Dipavali and Kali Puja

I worshipped the Lingam yesterday. not naked like the previous month. but Ganja smoking by the mercy a da lord.

lake huntin

went to find lost lake today with my son. south of tally isthe aplalachicola natl forest filled with small lakes, springs, and sinkholes. really a wondrful place. forgot my camera. but next weekend I have two more lakes lined up. Lost lake was very clear water, few weeds, quite small, maybe less than 100 yds across. sandy, surrounded by pines and scrub oak typical of the former beach and seabed that was the state of Florida several million years ago. The water at Lost was clean, with little trash. a couple of 70's era pop-tab budweiser cans, faded wire, with the detachable tabs some distance away. few newer beer cans. a table knife. made in japan. floral design. little wildlife. squirrels, and tracks of a bird, heron likely. plenty of minnows, and a school of bream came up while J. was in the water. healthy looking bream. striped and spotted, small. calm cool autumn Sunday sunlight, communicating wit nature.

trees

this is a stand of Oak trees near here, next to a pond, a very beautiful place
chief sacred Oak

politiko

a few years ago I began to understand the rotten core of the USA. I dont expect things to change quickly or significantly under Obama but I have been wrong before. Whether he has sold his soul or not it willl improve things, and already is improving things between white and black peoples. The humans I associate with other tham my family are 60% Africanamarican cool cats. Ive always thought black folk are the most fun to hang with, which is one reason I hope to stay in the South. Strangely at 36 I feel like I have to live in a culturally comfortable place.

the hawk

doesnt know how he flies
it just happens because it must
thats all there is to know

silence figureatively broken

there is always some trouble and lack of it. time ripens. two weeks or so passes like the fart of a lone duck swimming across a placid pond.

interesting that there is no new energy created independent of the Sun...भास्कर...नमस्कार...
