a fellow came into the library and told the librarian that they needed to watch me as i might attempt to engage? the children..and they said they knew me and i was a writer and photographer...he was angered by that and said "NO HE IS A HOMELESS PERSON"....about 25 years ago i took my savings from working on an offshore supply vessel for a year and bought a holiday rambler motor-home...and never looked back...i was quite enamored with having wheels under my home...i went from california to florida...and loved it...then i went back to work in the oilfield and continued to live out of a vehicle...a 199 toyota truck was next...315000 miles before i was hit from behind by a semi truck and then i bought a 1991 toyota van...300,000 plus miles before i sold it and bought the truck in the picture...i was under investigation since i paid cash for the truck...i was put in the same catagory as pablo escobar and osama bin laden...a rogue and a desperado...i have been stalked and harassed for 30 years now and i see no end in sight...however my life-style may not be very stylish but i do not live a life of crime...by not paying rent i can save enough money to have what i need...within reason...last week i bought a solar water heater for 8 bucks that actually brings water to a boil...doesn't sound like a big deal but in the survival game it is a big deal...when i hear about all the worlds population that have to scramble for fuel and clean water every day of their life i realize how fortunate i am to have a lifestyle that is somewhat self-sufficient...i do visit the grocery stores on a regular basis and have the expanding waistline to prove it ...if i was to recommend an investment i would say invest in groceries...
while listening to country western radio stations i could not help but notice the subject of many songs...too much alcohol and romance gone wrong ...the song that says "love is like Reno" seemed too negative...the premise being that in reno and with love "you can't win"...i lived in reno a few years and the secret is to not bet, and if you do bet dont make sucker bets...just like love...a woman has better instincts than the best croupier...and she can see a sucker a mile off...there is a song that is kind of funny called "i,m just talkin' about tonight"...you can guess what this fellow is singing about...there are a couple of songs about "dirt"..."get dirt" is about investing in property and "dirt cheap" is about the emotional ties people get to their property... but eventually any dirt is left behind and there is little guarantee that it won't go to the highest bidder...i have been from here to there and back and i think that the "dirt" should be honored but not hoarded...humans have pretty much soiled the soil and it will need a lot of cleaning up to sustain human life...i don't know that it will be like on "WaterWorld" but more people require more groceries which requires more dirt...i saw a good documentary about these folks in asia who had their rice fields over-run with salt water and they began raising fish and crabs,,,and did pretty well with it...evolve or die...
i wonder about the strips of paper that can be soaked in urine and tell whether the person who's supplies the urine is pregnant...then i wonder about the two pills that can be ingested and a pregnant person will abort the fetus...so why if this level of technology if available to most of the world...are there so many children born for whom the prospect of being well fed and clothed and sheltered and educated seems dismal...
heard where the feather of an extinct bird sold for many thousands of dollars recently...that is a very slippery slope when you begin commerce in animal parts
i heard where a woman in arabia posted an image of herself online wearing a baseball cap and the morality police were going to arrest her...she fled the country but the authorities arrested her mother and her sister and both of her sisters legs were broken while she was in custody...i hope none of my tax dollars are going to support anything in arabia...what a crock of crap those people have to live with
i hear where teenage males have taken an interest in high priced colognes...someone was criticizing $400 for 4 ounces of cologne but i used to buy high priced colognes from a shop on Royal street in new orleans and i can assure you that a 4 ounce bottle can last 4 years...the better quality the less you need...i would like to recommend that people experiment with quality oils and make their own fragrances...patchouli oil and clove oil when expertly combined make a great scent...
so it has cooled down some and i will head back into the forest...
