Indigenous Peoples' Day And

 Happy IP Day to all of North America's First Nation Peoples. IP stands for Indigenous People. Christopher Columbus can suck it. Columbus DID NOT discover America. Columbus stumbled ashore in Cuba and how's that for missed it by that much. I think the fucker landed in Cuba but I can readily admit I might be almost close. Doesn't really matter much. Not now and it's way too late to undo the damage caused by the colonial genocide that followed Columbus' discovery (?). Hell, the Vikings were in North America long before Columbus. Yeah you go Norwegians. I've got Norwegian ancestry as well as Scottish. I think I'm entitled to a slice of Greenland. Not that I want any part of what soon will be a tropical paradise. Climate change you see. Anyway, we've bigger fish to fry on this here Monday so let's move on to the really important parts of this diatribe. Gravity. Gravity is next up on our cavalcade of minor crap that manages to show up on the headline news feeds. A rock climber fell to his ultimate demise yesterday afternoon while climbing in Little Cottonwood Canyon. That's a canyon in the Wasatch Front and we've mentioned the Wasatch Front previously. So the young man was climbing Gate Buttress when a rock broke loose and the young climber fell as well as the rock that broke loose. According to the rescue authorities, the rock was about the size of a Subaru. That's a dang big rock. Anyway gravity kicked in and the rock came crashing to the ground as well as the young climber and the rock fell on the young climber. SQUISH! Gravity thou art a heartless bitch for sure. Also, Galileo's observations that objects will fall at the same rate regardless of mass is proven to be true once again. Young climber had hold on rock that broke free, young climber encountered free falling as the broken rock did same and as young climber hit the ground so did the broke free rock. Hence and therefore...SQUISH! Flattened like a meat pancake. Some laws can be broken without consequence like presidents and sedition with a side of treason (think trump) but, not the law of gravity. Thou Shall Not Mess With The Law Of Gravity OR...You'll Be Sorry. From the Book of Genesism Physics. Chapter 1 verse oh lets say about 15 or so. Another one bites the dust. With a rock topping. Machine art is coming up right about now. What did you expect on a Monday...caring compassion? Nah, where's the fun in that.

hear my train a comin' -

fleurs vibrantes -

fleurs for squished climber. please note that it isn't the fall that kills a person, it's that sudden stop at the bottom of a fall with a rock in this instance, that'll kill you. 😲
