'Haven't I got better things to do on..."

  This is a round object with a square shadow...big doings in the last couple of weeks...full moon inspired me to stay put in the desert for two weeks ...temps in the 60's and only a few days of much wind and blowing sand...read about a young theoretical physicist named SABRINA GONZALES (cuban) PASTESKI  who is studying what she calls CELESTIAL HOLOGRAPHY and has a web site called PHYSICS GIRL...sort of stretches the synapsis to ponder...

both of the glass cooking cylinders imploded on the solar cookers...I ate more baked potatoes and bake apples in the last few weeks than I ever have in my life...I am looking at the parabolic dish solar cookers to see if maybe they are less prone to failure...I must say that I was very favorably impressed with the results of these cookers and may purchase replacement tubes and be more attentive to my cooking procedures....it may be a design flaw which is un-avoidable....

    

currents in life always leave their impressions...however subtle...

a couple of days after thanksgiving a gun goober decided to use a metal plate for a target and use me as a backdrop....I think it was one of the syndicate people...later in the day an ambulance came down the very sanded up road as fast as it could go which was not very fast at all...by the time the sun set and it was dark the ambulance had not come out...I did see it come out a few hours after sunset and I figured one of the gun goobers had too much to drink and there was a fatality...for several days before and after thanksgiving the 4 wheelers were very busy tearing across the landscape...but after the ambulance incident there was no 4 wheelers anywhere to be seen or heard... 

I heard of H."Rap" Browns death while incarcerated a couple of weeks ago...we both grew up in the same town...when I was 18 years old during my first job in an oil refinery I was walking around in the refinery with an older white guy when we came upon some materials in a pile between some refining equipment...the white guy said "that needs to be picked up and moved...but that's nigger work..." and so we moved on...this was in 1972 and in this part of the Deep South there was a lot of talk like that..."rap" Browns daddy who was a world war two military veteran worked in an oil refinery in this city and I rather doubt if he escaped the racist attitude which was prevalent...this sort of attitude is undoubtedly what made "rap" Brown so bent on violence...he was not what the "good 'ol boys" would call a "good nigger"...he was more of a Spartacus type of person...I heard that the local paper did not acknowledge his death but it was well reported in the New York Times...sounds about right...
