"suppose we believe one half..."

                                  this beautiful camel was working in quartzsite...his name is "freckles" 
                               this beautiful beagle dog was at the flea market in quartzsite...his name is "freckles"

                                                  it's a sign!...or not...

well the usual poopyness is in place in this desert paradise (compared to large snow drifts)...it rained and was very overcast for about three days and i am sure the desert flora nd fauna are loving it...no solar power but the honda 500 generator worked well for about 5 hours with no problems...and all the electrical stuff got charged and i got some fair reception on the phone for yooptoop....i found a presentation that was so informative that i will try to download it and listen to it frequently...it is entitled "Avoiding Toxic Relationships" which deals with stoicism and the strength of WALKING AWAY...about 25 minutes long...great information...the situation seems to be that the candidates for the head of the executive branch of government are both...well....flawed shall we say...i have a hankering for a younger more vibrant chief executive...actually i was thinking a 15 year old female might fit the bill...you know a bit of attitude and sarcasm without the baggage...anyhow the dismal reality is that the "ship of state" is listing heavily and is underway but not making way...we be dead in the water...bummer...

watched a few DVD's lately...0ne of which was "Waterworld"...the so called "extended" version...the shorter version was "chopped" and this really reduced the quality of the film...i heard that all the money mr. costner made on "dances with wolves" (i have not viewed this film yet) he spent on "waterworld" which i think is a great movie...the long version is worth seeing (almost 3 hours) ..."Don't blame him, survival is all he knows. That's why someday there will be so many like him, and probably so few of us"

"Suppose we believe one half of what he tells us?                                                                                        Johnson-"Ay; but we don't know which half to believe. By his lying we lose not only our reverence for him, but all comfort in his conversation" (from boswells"life of johnson"
