Im in Charlotte North Carolina, USA. Headed to Asheville early this afternoon. Met some old.friemds.for the first time yesterday.

Getting ready to go buy some warmer clothes! It was cold last night, it will be colder in the mountains!

Im headed to North Carolina in a faraway country called The United States for a weekend yoga/meditation retreat followed by some visiting of friends.

Here’s some pictures I just took within the last 5 minutes. My vehicle and me and Goldie.

I can’t tell the difference between nervous and excited.

See you tomorrow!

Yesterday it rained at my house finally. I usually make it to the post office on Tuesdays, and when I got there, I encountered a bunch of chickens who apparently didn’t want to get their feet wet. They were all sitting on a bench.. I thought it was worthy of a couple photos.

has the sun comes up earlier, it gets lighter and lighter as I walk the dog. Below are some pre sunrise pictures from this morning.

Today is my last working day for a while, as I’m taking some vacation time. I have a new tenant moving into the apartment, and I have someone staying over to take care of the plants and animals. I have too much to do today!

…and turned on the air conditioner. Yesterday afternoon and evening was breeze less.

It’s really nice having it on. Glad I did it. Although it was never hot with the doors open, as long as there was a breeze, which there usually is.

Ask me how I feel next time I get the electric bill…

Tomorrow is my last day of work before I go on vacation!

New Rising Star, by Wishbone Ash on their abum: Just Testing.

.Just Testing is the tenth studio album by the British rock band Wishbone Ash, released on 18 January 1980. I can’t remember exactly when I discovered this band, but all their material is excellent. Very few bands have this consistent quality

Lyrics

The ugly mess you thought you were is fading fast.
Now something’s spoken through its virtues.
The night of black is rolling back at long last.
The wheel of fate turns to your fortune.

New rising star, sinister symphony.
New rising sun shines on in sympathy.

Skin deep-so cheap, this thing called beauty.
Beholder, railroader, cold shoulder.
Identity is more than you find in the mirror.
I watched you grow your own in the dust of the bones from your older days.

New rising star, sinister symphony.
New rising sun shines on in sympathy

You were a stranger in your homeland.
Reborn on a spage-age street, transformation complete.
The fags and bitches, rags and riches.
Leave them to the rest.
Your soul has found its pride inside its own breast

New rising star, sinister symphony.
New rising sun shines on in sympathy.

Great Song, Great Album, Great Band.

Have a Great Week!

You all probably know, I’m a big tree hugger. These guys took the prize for greatest fuckups.

There’s nothing that can be said.. I’m glad I’m not either one of those two.

Creatures of this planet consume other creatives and resources of this planet for survival. That’s the food chain, and how everything survives.

That’s different than taking life through senseless vandalism.

i don’t think that God thinks a human life is more important than a tree’s life, I think God thinks both are equal.. I imagine these poor stupid boys are going to find out either before or after they die.

Better carry an umbrella this weekend so you don’t get bonked on the head!

A 53 year old Soviet Spacecraft is supposed to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere this weekend. It never made it to Venus, as intended. But don’t worry, the only danger zone is along where the yellow and green lines are on the map above. Just in the teeny weeny area of the Earth’s surface depicted by the yellow and or green lines above. Just in that little area.live the people who have to worry!

Designed to land on Venus, the spacecraft should definitely survive the trip through Earth’s atmosphere. Read the article HERE.

I wonder how big of a crater 500 kilogram spacecraft would make?

Happy Friday! Have a wonderful weekend! And don’t you worry ’bout a thing!

the above statement has pretty much always been my plan. Ever since I got the Pearl Harbor Hawaii in the Navy. My motto has always been, “When I’m not at work, I’m on vacation!” And it is pretty close to being true. I have a wonderful life, and I am grateful everyday to be here in the Cayman Islands. Grateful everyday for the weather for the water and for the beaches for the swimming for the people and for the government for my job for my car and for my dog – everything.

the only thing I would change, is that I’ve always been very careful not to get anyone pregnant. If I could start my life over again, knowing what I know now, I would get everyone pregnant that I could. At least a time or two.

Of course, I realize that having children would change my entire timeline, and makes me wonder…..

65% of the way done..These 10 percents go slow. First I was stuck in the 40s, and then I was stuck in the 50s, and now I’m stuck in the 60s!

it’s taking for-ever!

But I’m loving it! I’m already planning my next class!

Had a couple friends over last night for a tuna on the grill event and an ice bath. It was much colder than the previous only ice bath I had in Panama. There was so much ice in the tub, there was hardly any room for the person!

I forgot to get a picture of me in there. But I was unable to stay in there very long. I leaned back only for a second or two it was freezing. It’s harder in a small tub where you have to ease in inch by inch instead of plunge in a larger tub. It’s torturous!

Here’s two panoramas from this mornings walk.

Now I’m headed off to work. Have a great day!
