There is information flowing by us all the time..."

only short-horned lizard spotted recently

this ant was feeding in something on this plant

this ladybug was also feeding on something on this plant

this plant had a couple of dozen of these bees feeding on something which i never figured out what it was...perhaps a fungus on the limbs...i saw no aphids or other micro-organisms which might attract so many enthusiastic bees all feeding feverishly...yet another mystery to be solved...

i got in a spot with pretty good phone connection so i was able to do some research and watch a lot of history...mostly music documentaries but also some philosophy...the latest offering from philosophize this (#211)is good and tommysabbatical is in germany for an hour and trying to learn the language...also ms little chinese everywhere is in a part of china where multiple husbands is allowed in the culture...very interesting...

well just attempted to publish this blog but was unable to do so...when i finally retrieved it most of it was gone....so this is a common thing when i use the library internet...a couple of librarians lost their job in Yuma for breaking into my computer...good riddance...the other patrons are not above stealing my work...

my notebook has some things which seemed important at the time...this among them...$1.14 trillion owed on US credit cards...574 indigenous tribes recognized in the USA...johnny cash now has a statue in the nations capital...27% fewer unexpected deaths in a medical facility when AI was used to manage the cases...rob Bonta the attorney general of caslifornia wants to sue exxon because he says they lied about whether plastic could be recycled...what a waste of taxpayers money..."Because China" is a great documentary maker which has 15 free short, very eye opening films about the impact of china on the rest of the world...i think the company is called "Quartz"...there is a good presentation by ms cortez on the "speech and debate clause" in the US constitution...it may explain why there have been some nasty remarks made by congress people recently. without censure..there is yet another book to add to the "Emmit Till" industry called "The Barn"...i remember reading about two brothers who were white and were tortured and killed in the bush by the black gangsters who were protesting the white minority rule...the usual conflicts...2 russians spend 374 days in space to set new record...

watched "soylent green" (1973) again and thought it was pretty good...a story about too many people on earth so they eat people in the form of soylent green crackers...it stars charlton heston and e.g robinson...i thought it was interesting that citizens could go to a good spot with nice views and some food to end their life...also watched jack nicholson in a 0ne hour movie called "wild Ride" (1960) he is a juvenal delinquent before the hippies and after the beats...he does a good job...

saw "honey jar habit" at rainbow shores a great performence that sounds much like new orleans influenced music...also there are a couple of "music" offerings which are sort of interesting by "not live yet" or "Kraft-Ebings Beard" about 12 minutes each...not really music though...what is definitely music is a live performance by joni mitchell called "california" on dulcimer...very good (1970)

i am seeing more and more sports in the news... society seems obsessed with sports...also i see where gazillions of people attend the great Swiftian performances...a murmeration of swifties can create a hell of a carbon footprint...i would like to see some great film/videos done so an old guy like me can see these extravaganzas without risking life and limb...

got to go miles to go before i sleep...

"It is not surprising..."

the chipmunk population is smaller than it was

this is the same species of flowering plant that had the yellow spiders...now loved by the bluebirds

this is a flicker i think...a rather handsome bird

this robust fellow stuck near me after i spoke kindly to him

there are certainly worse places to be getting a meal...a typical fall day here in the high meadows

lots of news in the news this week...$788,440 dollars was paid for a 525 pound tuna@tokyo fish market...v. putin went to mongolia to consult with the chief shaman...a fellow named Kara-ool-Dopchum-ool...there is a good lecture by charles kimbal Th.D. in the comparative religion series #6 "sacred people-clergy, monastics, shamans"...i guess if american leaders consulted with billy graham a shaman ain't much different...

 6 people detained in Venezuela for conspiracy to assassinate  the president there...3 Americans one of whom was a military person...hooray! about time to cut out the middle man and handle this tyrant...the Russians seem to be much better at killing folks...poison, radioactive isotopes, plane crashes, falls from windows...lots of falls from windows...and now the exploding phone method opens up all kinds of possibilities...

a fellow here said that the solution to the so called housing shortage is to ''BUILD BUILD BUILD etc."when i was working in boulder colorado i was always impressed by their extensive GREEN BELT which kept some of the wilderness near the urban areas...it seems to me that if this metropolis is to retain the "village in the mountains" vibe they have long had they are going to have to think long and hard about just building to accommodate the demand for housing...many a beautiful area has had too many yards of concrete poured and too much vegetation replaced with parking lots and sidewalks...

i heard where a sheriff shot and killed a judge in his chambers recently...whoa buddy! is this the shape of things to come!...my law can beat up your law!

so when i walked out to find a rock to sit on in the meadow to see if i could get reception for youtube mr bullyboy came over to investigate me ...i did manage to get the youtube to come up and i went to see what "little chinese everywhere" was doing...it seems that she was in one of the STAN regions and she was going to parties...the women there are really beautiful and love to wear fancy clothes and especially hats...giant hats! in the episode before this one the women looked like they were perhaps italian...certainly not what we westerners assume chinese people look like...these folks love china and all serve proudly in the military...i guess they would make great spies as they could pass for a generic american...if a generic american existed...

i hear where another of the hip hop icons is looking at charges being filed against him...Pee Did He? the example which some of these men set for impressionable youth is less than honorable...

"It is not surprising then that those interventions that look most promising take into account adolescents desire for status and respect, as well as their need to contribute and find a sense of purpose. "Age of opportunity" Lydia Denworth "Scientific American" May 2021 "this article is worth finding and reading in its entirety.

 

"There is, by Gods grace..."

it's that time of year

i saw a picture of a rare bee recently...i looked kind of like this

this is the largest ant species i have seen here

a very handsome spider that snatched a bug then disappeared

i listened to about 30 minutes of the trump/harris encounter...hardly a debate...  i was perusing my notebooks and found some phrases which i think i used 4 years ago or more...

propter odium et atiam=accusation made due to malice....per incuriam= lack of adherence to the laws of facts...and especially...writ de Idiota inquirendo= inquiry into whether a person is an idiot..."...he may be a fool, but he's our fool, and if they think they are better than him the're wrong..." thanks randy...

i read where looking at pornography can raise a persons testosterone level...if they do no ejaculate...my low testosterone has caused me some problems that may be worse than the benefits of low testosterone...like loss of muscle mass, fatigue, weight gain, possible cardio vascular disease, and also growing girl titties...damn i wish i had been advised of these possible side effects. so i looked at some porn last week...first time in about 20 months..since THE SHOT...actually i looked for porn about 20 hours and looked at porn for about 12 minutes...by the way when the government gives you a phone you can assume that they will monitor said phone to their hearts content...unfortunately they are never contented...anyhow the testosterne count may have come up...i feel more energized than before when inspiration was only in my imagination...

i heard i had lost several of the readers of my blog...the numbers went from 12 to 8 from what i can tell...there were nasty stories being spread about my possible involvement in a menagerie a trois...pure speculation i assure you but my pickled pig lips sponsor was alarmed and threatened to limit me to one pig lip per month and the teat bag balm sponsor said that they are taking my sponsorship under advisement...durn their scurvy butts!...refer to richard Krafft Ebbing...perhaps those pesky immigrants ate the missing readers...yeah that's it they were eaten!

its is a good thing that ms. harris was called on in time...

"There is, by Gods grace, an immeasurable distance between late, and too late." madame Swetchine

as an afterthought which is always with me there is a legal phrase..."conspiracy to commit computer intrusion..."...

 

 
 

"...because it consumes labor..."

small yellow spider...this one was on a plant with some yellow flowers...there were also small green spiders of the same species which were on plants with more green

this cricket looking critter was with another one about half the size...perhaps a mated pair...this one was about two inches long...they were under a rock...
 

A 14 YEAR OLD ADULT?!...i dont think so...the usual incompetence which goes with someone else being victimized by the justice department...was the assault rifle owned by someone who is in "A WELL REGULATED MILITIA!?" as the constitution calls for...several hundred dead in the USA this year by "mass shooters" which i think means 4 or more shot within 24 hours by the same person...

and i am still having nightmares about the gaza hostages and the gaza slaughtered...i also had a long vivid dream about camels...they appeared to be arabian camels and they were being ridden...whats that all about?...

saw this beauty on Utube named Embla Matilde Njerva from norway who was an Olympic pole vaulter...she did well and there was a site which showed female olympic high jumpers, long jumpers and pole vaulters...15, 16, and 17 year olds in slow motion...all thin and strong...the reason that this age females make the best rock climbers is the strength to weight ratio allows them to creep up the rocks without their own body weight pulling them down...i was going to call ms. Njerva a greek goddess but there was a young woman from greece who also did well...

i watched a pretty good movie on utube called "Doublecrossed" which is about a fellow named adler berriman seal... known as Barry Seal...he was gunned down at the salvation army in baton rouge where he had been ordered to stay by a federal judge after a trial in which he implicated some very powerful drug dealers from south america...it was generally considered to be a death sentence as he was not allowed to have a gun either...there was also a good documentary from WBRZ television called "Uncle Sam wants You"...where mr seal was interviewed by the t v station and they were at a place filming a drug deal at mr seals request...i grew up in the same town where mr seal lived and know from first hand experience that crooked government officials are not uncommon in louisiana ...i think that mr seal must have known that the incarceration of these drug kingpins would make them show that a lot of government officials are less than honest...such is life...it was repeatedly said that mr seal had Central Intelligence Agency connections which allowed him to repeatedly fly loads of drugs from central and south america without being apprehended...there is a hell of a lot of information on the internet about the CIA and the international drug trade...insofar as the CIA is a "clandestine" oriented organization they do not really have the opportunity to explain the details of their work...but it is known as the "puzzle palace" for a reason.

this is my receipt for the last time i stayed at the salvation army in B.R....it was a  dirty smelly corrupted place which should have been shut down...mr wilson was not the desk clerks real name probably...just a suggestive alias...

i watched some very good music on utube this week "Stan Getz Quartet at the London School of Economics (1966)...great music and good camera work

also i saw a short item about a woman named Clairo in the new yorker magazine so i looked her up on utube and watched her "viral" first appearance...she is Charming with a capital "C"  however the viral segment was several years old...one of her newer contributions was called "Zinnias" which had more musical instruments...these women who sing so softly fail to raise my blood pressure...although astrud gilberto sang softly to good effect...i do like the janis joplin and florence welch style of belting them out....each to his own right...

"...because it consumes labor disproportionate to it's utility..."Samuel Johnson giving his opinion of ornamental architecture...which can be said about most of humans endeavors...
