  I got to see a horse on Monday in our condo community. I wasn't really expecting to see a horse on Monday but ... there was the horse in a horse trailer being pulled by a flatbed pickup truck. Right there in our community. Well, that made me happy as happy can be. I do love the horses. Especially horses running free out in the wild. Nevada has loads of wild horses. Nevada also has a BLM (Bureau of Land Management) that has decided to roundup most all of the wild horses. Goddamn BLM thinks they can manage Nevada's wild country better than Mother Nature. The BLM isn't necessarily very bright. Or adept at managing Nevada's wild resources. Anyway I asked the wife IF I could get a horse. The wife looked back at me in that wife being tolerant with dumb ass husband for asking ridiculously lame questions sort of look and replied, "no you can't have a horse and you sure as hell will not get to keep a horse in the living room." Dang, cut to the quick. All that bei...

  Tutu sells for $52,000.00 and that is United States Dollars. Dang ... who knew. Who knew that the dead Bishop was even for sale. I did not know. You may possibly remember the Bishop Desmond Tutu? Well turns out the tutu that went for the big bucks WAS NOT the Bishop Desmond Tutu. The tutu in question came from a dumpster in New York's 'garment district' and I was unaware of New York's garment district even being a thing. I have heard of 'red light districts' but that might not be the same kind of thing. Anyway so ... the "tutu" was worn by an actress playing a sex column writer and aired back in the day and was some manner of big deal. Evidently no one figured a television tutu could fetch that kind of astronomical bucks but ... the tutu did and the article on NPR does not mention who or maybe that should read whom, will rake in the seriously questionable cash windfall. By my way of doing the math $52,000.00 dollars, and that is USD, is serious cash....

  Watching football on a birthday Saturday afternoon and dang is the game about boring. Prattle and really boring "analyst" prattle and coaches brothers and nepotism and then fill some empty football space/time that is hardly continuum. So then poses the question, "why watch it?" Televised basketball and college basketball at that so ... why watching it becomes a Shakespearean conundrum, to watch or not to watch ... is that even a question? So I'll cut to the chase here and that means Sunday machine art. satellites - charcoal - axman - cradle - alone - sunrise - lonely - looks - have you ever wondered why it might be that professional football players are not particularly articulate? that being said some of the pro players are pretty dang savvy when it comes to signing big money contracts. 😐

  Forty three billion, two hundred and sixteen million miles is how many miles I've lived since I first saw the light of our world after breaking free of my mother's uterus. Small wonder that my feet hurt. That's a dang lot of miles. That forty three billion, two hundred and sixteen million miles is how many miles the Planet I live on has orbited around our sun. It's my birthday and holy crap, I never and I do mean ever thought I'd live this long nor seen the things I've seen. Don't get me wrong here, I appreciate every last freaking mile I have traversed. Good days, bad days, days that are just filler in between other days. I've had ups and downs and uppers and downers and spacey dang hallucinogens and some shit that fucked my existence up royally. That is NOT a good thing to have let alone brag about and I am not bragging. Oh hell no. That misery began after my first episode with the marijuana. Dang 'gateway drugs' anyway. These days I am simpl...

  Went to the Mojave Desert Holy Land Thursday morning. A beauty day no doubt. Every so once in a while I get a day that by all counts is unlike any day that was a beauty day before this fine Thursday morning. Got sand in my boots, found some burro biscuits that were almost fresh. Didn't get to see the burros but they are around the Holy Site somewhere. I've been privileged to see Desert Bighorns in herds and they are quite spectacular. Today no burros but that really doesn't matter. I did find some petrified wood and anytime I find a piece of petrified wood I have to stop and wonder where the rest of the petrified tree might be. I've seen petrified trees before in Holbrook, Arizona and you can actually purchase an entire petrified tree ... IF you've enough chump change to piss away on a petrified tree. A petrified tree does NOT come cheap. Besides, finding a piece of petrified wood in its natural habitat is where the real excitement is to be found. The BLM has stri...

  I almost killed the old desktop on Wednesday afternoon. Scared the bejeepers out of me. Lost some files, lost some artwork I had been working on, and pissed me off no end. Gaddanged hi-fangled techno stuff anyway. You see I am one of those becoming more rare daily techno-Neanderthals that one may or may not have heard about. Well allow me to inform our postmodern early twenty first century world that there are some of us still alive, sentient, mobile to a certain extent, and clueless as to how all this techy shit works. You see once more, back in the day and I do mean a way back in the day, television had just come on scene. There was no color television and telephones were party lines that connected four or maybe six households together on one line. No one and I do mean NO ONE, had a "private phone" and cellphones weren't even a dream to be fulfilled. No computers, no home gyms, none of that and social norms seemed to get along fairly fine. So I could suppose that...

  Serious dang cold has gripped our Uh - merica and there are no signs of warm coming anywhere near the spots that are freezing. Bummer no doubt. However, a way out here in the Mojave Desert ... 65 degrees Fahrenheit is not even close to being a teaser. Y'alls are welcome to drop in anytime. Really. Local hostel providers will welcome you with open arms just so long as you bring a bucket load of cash. So that's about enough with the cold weather crap-o-la and now I'll cue the camel and get to the point of all this which is ... Wednesday machine art. sisters - witch - montage - catherine the great - dreams - anonymous - I'm not lacking in empathy for Uh - mericans that are locked up tightly in one truly dangerous arctic blast of freezy cold. brrr ... I hate that freezing bullshit. 😏
