ok lets get down to brass tacks...so to speak...mr musk was filmed down on the louisiana coast with the governor of the state announcing that he was going to build a very large space rocket launch pad...several launch pads actually...i have spent a fair amount of time in that part of the world...mostly getting on oil supply boats or getting off oil supply boats or loading oil supply boats...i imagine that in the future 200 mile per hour winds are a possibility from hurricanes in that exact spot...they might go over to Cameron and ask to see some before and after pictures of that city (they always rebuild)...the storm surge might be more than 20 feet and salt water...i would start (like yesterday) to plant bamboo...lots and lots of bamboo, to block some of the wind and water..."All about bamboo with Lee" @Heathanddome is a wealth of information from a guy that grows bamboo north of new orleans...the best informed site i have seen about SpaceX is @"what about it" this guy studies all things spacex and puts it in an understandable format...i am a "TELLURIAN" by choice and inclination so i am mostly interested in what benefits i can derive from staying on earth and using other peoples inventions...such as communications...i daily look at the offerings from Sabine Hossenfelder and "Scientist discovers a new type of matter" (8min) and also Anton Petrov has very good stuff such as "AI created viruses that don't exist in nature" (14min) @ whatdamath... there is also a presentation that says it was ripe fruit and honey in the diets of early (very early) hominins that caused their brains to grow...this contradicts the cooked meat and fat theory that says these foods in the diet made the brain grow...i know from experience that there is a lot more meat than honey in the world and fruit is very seasonal..."Nicht Wahr?"...well i need to recommend some music before i close this communication...Rita Paye's tiny desk concert is quite good...

"WHEN THE VIOLENCE CAUSES SILENCE WE MUST BE MISTAKEN..." from "Zombie" by the "cranberries"(l listen to this song every day...it creates a rise in my blood pressure...

i need to get/give the full dose of blog therapy...it might get messy...as i went out to my truck last night to look for "whatever" i noticed a bunch of lights in the parking lot...they were multi colored and seemed to be sort of "official" looking...perhaps the local constabulary?...suddenly a voice rings out..."there is the pedophile"...all right! instant identification...some flavor of law...why would these third world, second rate, half assed cops subject me to constant harassment!...well it is part of the deal they have made...pay to play...i need to rewind to the way back machine...a couple of years ago when i would visit a local used goods shop i noticed a picture on the wall next to the cash register...it was priced at more than a thousand bucks but less than two thousand bucks...not to my taste but a very distinctive style...i was perusing a magazine called "western art" i think and saw a page of very similar art...i took the magazine and showed the woman behind the counter the magazine and left it with her and she contacted the folks in the magazine and sent them an image of the picture on the wall and they said it was the long lost companion or the pictures they had and they paid her $85 thousand bucks for the picture...good score!...fast forward to last year and as i was in the same used stuff store i saw a large box maybe 5 feet by five feet by two feet tall with hundreds of pairs of shoes and i saw a Nike shoe which i did not think much about but later i saw the match to it...i fished this pair of shoes out and sat down and tried one on...oldish looking in style but it occurred to me that these were unique shoes...(sometimes i remember things that have not happened yet and it came to me that these shoe were very very collectible)...i carried them a few yards away into the office and there were a couple of black women who were trying to sell two lamps with what they said were Tiffany glass shades...i sat the shoes next to the counter and asked the young woman behind the counter if she had ever seen any shoes like this...she said no she had not...i said neither had i...i left the shoes with her and i could hear the black ladies trying to buy the shoes but she insisted that those were my shoes...she apparently took my look as indicating that those shoes were valuable...and indeed they were! she sold them for (wait for it!) two million bucks!...now every time i went to this store this young woman would come out from the back of the office with an intense meditative look...it turns out that she was praying that i would bring her something like the $85 thousand dollar picture...and so it happened...whether or not she told the owner of the used stuff store that she had shoes which she sold for two million bucks i do not know...however every one of the half dozen women who worked the cash register quit and the story i heard (endless stories) was that they split the money from the shoe sell and celebrated like it was 1999...my cut was exactly zero! and these felonious females also enlisted the coalition of corrupted cops to protect them...which became a campaign of constant harassment for me...now any allusion to my being a person of philosophic bent went right out the window as i would dwell on what it might be like to have a couple of million bucks...i do not understand the mentality of a woman who would think that i could bring her two million bucks (i heard that those shoes eventually sold for 11 million bucks...or maybe i dreamed it) but did not think any karma attached to her actions, anyhow, i do believe in karma or the wheel of the law...cannot be escaped...this incident led me to believe that the only thing worth "collecting" is ideas...i heard that these newly rich girls bought sex and travel and generally invested the money in things that could not be traced...anyhow i heard several years ago that this business was owned by a mafiosi guy...i would not want to be hiding from a fellow who takes his money very seriously...anyhow i have seen some of the party girls and they have changed their look (but not their worldview)...yesterday i was told that the girl who sold the shoes was considered a "hero" because i was left out of the monetary gain of my find...i do not want to trade places with any of those folks...

"I also dreamed that i might gather the wild herbs, or carry evergreens to such villages as loved to be reminded of the woods, even to the city,  by the hay cart loads. But I have since learned that trade curses everything it handles; and though you trade in messages from heaven, the whole curse of of trade attaches to the business" from Walden by H.D.Thoreau
 

"The sky continues beautiful..."

                                      sunset from a couple of days ago...

a very kind and generous person from tennesee went to the big choir in the sky recently...great song writer and lovely vocalist...i feel compelled to make a statement about Madona the entertainer who has recently resurfaced in "popular places"...whatever anyone thinks of her conduct today, in her prime this woman was a force to be reckoned with...it is only in the last few years that i picked up her early music videos and she was certainly one of the most dynamic and creative artist around...and very bold...she had a thing for publicity...so whether you like her music or not she was the real deal...

speaking of sex i have spent no small amount of brain energy trying to determine if the whole course of human existence is changing...from the earliest records of human history the "mating" events which occurred between humans have been determined by neuro-chemistry and chance... the single technological innovation which has changed the entire sexual lives of humans is the internet...a good and pretty accurate view of sex today is presented on "The francis foster show" "The rise of the simp economy" (30min)...mr foster makes some interesting observations about "Only Fans" (lonely fans!?) he says that 0.1% of the presenters make 76% of the money and average $147,000 per month...a good chunk of change... it is the 'THEA EX MACHINA" effect...think about it , if a woman can eliminate the need to "personally" engage every man that is willing to pay her for the encounters her market base is "virtually" unlimited...the internet is the great equalizer...there is a woman on "soft white underbelly" named Lexxi Lovelace who was working two jobs at fast food and decided to make a career change and went to be a sex worker....she started as a cam-girl and then a stripper and then worked in some bordellos and now she is an escort who says she makes $600K a year and only works with one person a day...she wants to teach yoga and likes to have a lot of free time...sounds great...my question is...are there any "pro bono" clients...any freebees for the financially challenged?...probably not...when the interviewer asked her what she had learned about men she sort of got an humored look on her face and she said that men "just want to feel good too"...but it ain't cheap (my words)...selling sexual access i do not believe is immoral, or wrong...i wonder however if once the entire female population is online and or commercialized will there be any desire on the part of women to have sexual relations without economic strings...i like to see what Aella_girl has to say on matters of sex and not to my surprise in a discussion with another woman she was asked whether sex always was about money...she said it was...but ms.Aella has always had "naked ambition" and like anyone she has her view of economic security...my question is at what point does the sex work become so un-economically rewarding that it must be abandoned. there is another woman on soft white underbelly who calls herself Nikole Mitchell (a return interview) who is the "Happy Escort"...she says with great joy that she has been having sex with three generations of one family...grand-dad and dad and grandson...she likes it a lot...such a blessing eh?....anyhow sex has not changed but availability of sex has changed and as one woman told me not too long ago " we now have half the money and all the pussy"...that about sums it up...

                          white flower in the morning...down but not out

 

                              approaching sunset...day before yesterday

been reading some very good articles...mostly in new yorker magazine...i am somewhat embarassed to say that i used AI for the first time...wrote my inquiry so i can not really be prosecuted for it..."does taylor swift have any tattoos?"...this line of inquiry came from a photo in new yorker magazine of october 10, 2011...the photo is by katy grannan...ms swift is shown with writing on her hand and arm..the intelligence responded with the information that ms swift said she might change her mind so she has no tattoos...my view exactly...might change my mind...no tattoos...another "influencer" who is in the medias sights has said in a 14 page "manifesto"(?!) that he wants AI for all...mr zuckerberg who allowed the common folk to have international faces has decided to let common folk have all-knowing intelligence...for better or worse...yeah!....more knowledege is more better....however in an article entitled "Breeding ground" (new yorker june 1, 2026) (not about Only Fans) ms. Shayla Love has investigated the evolution of microbes on planet earth the subtitle is "The climate is changing, microbes are evolving, are we ready?" to put this in perspective there is a description of this evolution..."The gap between the rate of human evolution and the rate of microbial evolution is like the difference between a drifting tectonic plate and an F-16 fighter jet"...wow!...that is quite a difference...what about hand washing....well if it makes you less anxious about infection...go for it....but one of the alarming statements is about the cleaning team in a hospital dis-infecting a room and when the floors were tested there were hundreds of microbe species detected...oh well...there was an interesting article about the swiss people voting on a law to keep their population below 10 million people and it was rejected with 55% against...because it was said that the GDP would be lower by 12% by the end of the century (new yorker 6/15/26) I say let the plump ones in...also some very good youtube presentations are "What is democratic socialism (15min) @ carolyn kraft the subtitle is "no one in america understands socialism"...this woman brings some light to the conversation about forms of governance...also "Empire with michael portillo" India segment is 45min..there are also segments on USA and south africa...very well done...by the way a fellow named Mangal Pandey who was an Indian sepoy (military) smacked a british officer and began the "sepoy revolt" which began the outster of the brits as the ruling class in India...a very interesting presentation which gets the old synapses cranked up is "Open Sauce 2026 blew my mind(15min) @chris herr...this is billed as a inventors gathering...great stuff...

there was an article in new yorker 7/20/26 in the london postcard section about a "gathering of madonna!? promoters"...two of shit is shit!...the thinly veiled contempt of the writer is apparent in his statement concerning a drink offering..."barely disquising a watery want of flavor."   not unlike madonna herself! 

 

"...because it consumes..."

 

IMAGES FROM THE TOP= 1=EARTHWORM   2=ANTS REBUILDING AFTER THE RAIN   3=MULTI SPECIES OF POOP LOVING MUSHROOMS  4= HOW IT WILL ALL END-ASHES   5=DON'T IGNORE TODAYS BEAUTY   6= INDIAN FOOD GIFTED TO ME BY THE MOTEL OWNERS....I DONT BELIEVE THAT I HAVE EVER BEEN IN AN INDIAN RUN MOTEL THAT DID NOT HAVE A GARDEN PLANTED BY THE OWNERS....PRACTICAL PEOPLE!

 

there is a scandal in cambridge university because a fellow named jason arday lied...and lied  lot about his life...the result of his fabrications was he got a doctorate from the university and employment...this reward is a symptom not the problem...the problem is that people want to believe that they should reward someone because of something other than their merits...it happens to all races, creeds, genders etc...(mr arday is of "equitorial heritage"

 

lets look at some other crimes...one of the better cop chase youtube sites (and there are plenty) is by @sergentcurtis who does an analysis of body-cam videos when a cop in a patrol car pulls someone over ...this is great stuff and illustrates the extent to which uniformed law enforcement are subjected to stress on a daily basis...."How this genius trooper caught drug mule" is a good one (30min)...

AI makes the fermi paradox worse, scientist says" @sabine hossenfelder (8min) the fermi paradox is "why, if there are so many planets in the universe, is there no evidence of other intelligent life"...

"This is the inconvenient truth about terrorism"@outpost (24min) this fellow systematically reviews crimes of violence and says terrorist are getting a free pass....a well done presentation....

i came across a band which i have never heard of before...two men and two women....Psychedelic Maggot Engine!..."My cat set herself on fire"(4min)...it is an aquired taste... 

"weirdest word in the english languge" by ISMO (9min) this is a very insightful humorous review of the absurdity of languages...

 

there is a tradeoff in society as was illustrated in the shootout at the burger joint...a bad guy with a gun randomly shot and killed people but a couple of fellows with their own firearms RETURNED FIRE!...there should be more attention paid to "a well regulated militia" from the second amendment...why are so many people unable to return fire when a deranged person begins a killing spree... 

 

"...because it consumes labor disproportionate to it's utility..." said by samuel johnson about architecture (and can certainly be said about many other human endeavors) 

 

"COMME IL FAUT..."

 

    

there is a new boundary marker...the property surrounding the federal land is probably being sold...damn! 

bought a new used hat today at the "pay what you will" thrift...kaibab squirrel...nice                                          bought a titanium kettle for a buck....no lid...it steamed my fingers when i poured out the water...damn!

 

if it ain't one thing it's something else...back in town for medical visits...damn!...better than no medical attention....i am diligent about taking the prescribed medications...if i died it ain't because i was casual about my medication....lots of drama today..."utilization of minors in the commission of a felony"...it's all the rage!...grocery store, thrift store, then the motel...

 

I watched some interesting youtube in the last few days...since i was camped a few yards from a wagon trail i thought it appropriate to watch some western history....such as "The deadliest sheriff you've never heard of : the long haired lawman who killed 3 men in 60 seconds" @wild west dark and dean (30min) the interesting thing about this presentation is how well the story is told..."The Earp brothers -what really happened to them after tombstone" @frontier legend (37min)...and "How 9 frontier legends died- real history of the wild west @frontier america (32min)...these guys were mountain men and trappers and as rough as they come...but they all died none the less...another very interesting guy is sir richard francis burton...an adventurer and scholar..."The real harry flashman? the untold story of richard burton"@redcoat history (31 min)...i read a biography of this guy several years ago and was astounded at his exploits...it is a real pisser that his wife burned all his papers when he died...and some very dramatic presentations are "Fresno ballgirls amazing catch" @B frank (39 seconds) and "Golden eagle snatches kid" @mrnuclearcat (one minute) i can not say for sure if this is AI generated or not...from "soft white underbelly" there is an interesting story "I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore-Donna Lamb"(1:42)...this woman was a victim OF HERSELF!...i have never seen anyone who went from one situation where they could not escape being a victim to another situation where she was a victim...sex worker, to drug addict, to religious cult...no one to blame but herself...well i did see some good music at "King olivers creole jazz band" (1923) (2 1/2 minutes) @ juan fecit...this is historic footage of louis armstrong with his musical hero....also "riders in the storm" at "playing for change" is quite well done

 

"COMME IL FAUT =what is appropriate  

 

"Somehow, the laws..."

                         to stop or go around or....?

yep lots of decisions to make.... as i sit here listening about "the war in Iran"....i realize it is a war against survival on planet earth....them wars is hell on the environment...the whole planet suffers...also now they are saying that the colorado river ain't got the water it used to have...i see a lot of flooded places across the country and the globe...SO!...i wonder when the money (taxes and otherwise) might be used to move the water across the terrain from flooded to dry...it they can do it for gas and oil (which is toxic and dangerous) certainly moving water should be an option....AND!...i notice that when i am living down in "lettuceland" much of the lettuce is not the most nutritious type...AND!...they are spraying water into the air to get it to the plants....once a guy said to me when we were talking about food choices and the subject of weight gain came up he said 'a calorie is a calorie" and the same can be said of water "a drop is a drop"...

maybe we can pray about it..."The oldest evidence of religion is 90,000 years old-and it's not what you think (6min)@ancient humans explains...some interesting questions are brought up...i have been reading some Hindu religious writing...this religion is not based on a persons view...no person began it...in the early days it was called "Sanatana Dharma" thousands of "gods" available to appeal to...Sikhism is a combination of hinduism and islam...and had a founder...the thing about religions is there is lots of rules...so there is lots of "sinners"...

watched Ha' Thi Muon picking squash which was growing beneath a bunch of corn stalks...the corn cobs was destroyed by some sort of creature but the squashed looked ok..she loaded up three dogs and the goat (this goat is kind  of freaky) and went into town and sold the squashes and bought some pig meat and some eggs (she has a lot of chickens but she still buys eggs)...the mama dog only has one pup nursing so he is a big fat puppy...i like to watch this lady being so industrious...also "Cobbler G (mr gibson) finally got hold of a pair of r.m. williams shoes of which he points out the construction flaws and rebuilds this nice footware with different materials and points out the construction techniques that he is changing...from bad to good...thats what i like to see..."Itchy Boots" did not lose her cool even after having 3 flats on her motorcycle in less than two days...she will be back on a paved road next episode where she will meet up with Bing her chinese "minder" who has her new license plate as she returns to chinese property...Jesse Welles will probably be whacked due to his relentless (harsh) views of the current government...Dr. Lex Friedman is back from his analogue retreat with a 3 hour and 46 minute interview (#499) with historian gary gallager who talks about the civil war in the USA...i used to live in a house between clinton and port hudson La. and the short gravel road i lived on was called "the battle of the wagons" road...when the siege of port hudson was going on they tried to bring supplies from clinton to port hudson...they got caught...clinton was an important townback then.  Python Cowboy gets caught by a 16 foot python and it looks like it is a foot thick...and his little daughter has her own camera and tries to contribute to the video...

also i looked on youtube to see what is happening with Russel Hiltz who was a good friend and mentor (guru) when i was 19 years old...he introduced me to alan watts, w.e evans wentz (tibetian religion) and a hit of owsley acid...he was from  berserkly so i think it was authentic...he pulled it out of his wallet and said i should wait to take it...but being a "instant gratification" sort of guy i ate it soon after he left and as i was driving my borrowed MG midget convertible to my house 30 miles away in the country and in the rain i started to come on hard to mr owsleys' product...righteous!..after several lifetimes (hours and minutes are irrelevant  when you are tripping)...i made it to the refuge of my house and was grateful for that...

Sabine Hossenfelder has an interesting presentation called "Origin of Time"...this is a pretty funny review and she says she does not like to "crap" on other peoples work (after she craps on a lot of peoples work) she gives the work reviewed about a 9.9 on the bullshit scale...a very funny scientist...
