Don't Let It Rain - Shaman

Haze in the sky, hiding the light
The clouds are here again
I wonder when the Sun will shine
And touch my skin again
I wanna walk on the outside with you
I long to dream once again
And fill every day with your life
Don't hide your scars
They're just a mark you'll live another day
Time heals the heart, it takes off the pain
And you will rise again
I wanna walk on the outside with you
Wishing to feel life again, fulfilling my days
The world goes around and round
I can finally believe it
If all I loved is gone
Then I finally believe it's true
So don't let it rain over you
We're drifting apart every day
We're losing the strength to find a way
But we carry on, yes we carry on
Until our time has come
And world goes around and round
I can finally believe it
If all I loved is gone
And I'm losing ground
The world goes around and round
I can finally believe it
If all I loved is gone
And I finally believe it's true
So don't let it rain
Don't let it rain
So don't let it rain over you
A short rewarding hike to a rock formation and stunning views of Lake Superior.
Prior to the 1900s, this landmark a lion sitting on its haunches looking out to Perry Bay. The former shape of this natural arch inspired its name the Sea Lion. The lions head has fallen of but the name still continues. The softer sedimentary rock will continue to erode. The "arch" of the sea lion will eventually collapse possibly leaving a stack in Lake Superior. Over time the entire section from the shoreline will disappear.
To get here park at the kabeyun trail head parking lot. Follow the trail about half mile down the trail. You'll see a sign for sea lion 500m to your left. The trail will branch off to different view points and down to the beach shoreline. Keep following it to the left. Currently there are some down trees and you will have to climb over them. Continue until you reach the green fenced off area and you will know you have arrived. Take in the views as some day this will be gone.

Part of my staycation, I am still debating whether to venture farther than my region this year. I was thinking about camping but there are so many rules and some campsites have closed their showers. I need a shower when I camp.

[[ MM related shot]] Oly's Camping trip with Ho-Dad
After the pictures were taken and they had their moment, Trobar set up camp. Oly stood by offering no help put mumbling about they could have used magic. Trobar looked over his hard work " Nature gives us what we need son....you don't always have to use magic. Plus this is camping! Don't you want to know how to survive? " Oly sort of waved his comment off " No because in my future I will be in a cabin, in a soft robe, with warm slippers....and I wont have to do this " he shook his head. Trobar picked up the bag " Well get changed we are going on a hike " Together they prepared to brave the lands unknown
This reminds me of a song....a counting song I sang in camp. Don't ask me why but it does.....
Green Grow the Rushes, Oh!
I'll sing you one Ho.
Green Grow the Rushes, Oh
What is your one Ho?
One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so.
I'll sing you two Ho.
Green Grow the Rushes, Oh
What is your two Ho?
Two, two the lily white boys, clothed all in green ho.
One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so.
I'll sing you three Ho.
Green Grow the Rushes, Oh
What is your three Ho?
Three, three the rivals (Boom! Boom!)
Two, two the lily white boys, clothed all in green ho.
One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so.
Sorry.....I have been working overtime and have had so little time to comment!
I will play catch up today and this evening!
:~)
Have a wonderful Friday and a splendid weekend !
Specific goals thwarted by the winds.
Out to la Pointe the other morning with a specific goal of photographing the cliffs before the bird migration and nesting begins on the west facing cliffs which by then will be a strict "No-go".
However the winds prevented me to continue including reduced visibility, I'm hoping for another crack at it BUT I did come away with what I think is a rather stunning image worth sharing.
For those who may not be aware, much of what you see is now private property (it's been sold), though the new owner has been gracious enough to still allow walkers along the walking trail following the perimeter to continue enjoying the majestic views from this spot. There are few things they ask/expect... they include no vehicular traffic (including ATV'S etc), no overnight camping, don't litter amongst a few other simple requests which are posted on signs as one approaches the property. All that is asked is that the few requests be respected.
*I'm grateful to have had permission* to have access for this project before the nesting begins, the seabirds will soon be arriving as the weather warms, it'll be critical to avoid disturbing them and other wildlife that is common here.
I hope you enjoy this photo.

It's the end of the night and Joni stopped by on her way home to what used to be one of her favorite 24 hour Walmart stores. Her reason for stopping by was twofold: She wanted to buy some cosmetics, and more importantly, she was hoping to find Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in his R.V. parked overnight in this Walmart's lot. At the time, Justice Thomas was justifiably under fire for even more shockingly unethical behavior in his capacity as a Supreme Court Justice. In an interview, Justice Thomas naturally denied any wrongdoing, while displaying an arrogant misunderstanding of the most basic ethical tenets of the legal profession. He is not only a moron, but he is a corrupt moron, who doesn't think twice about accepting extravagant gifts and favors from billionaires, who have had cases of direct and indirect personal financial interest on the Supreme Court's dockets over the years which he, at a bare minimum, should have recused himself from hearing and voting upon. Of course, it would have been nice if this dimwit had enough sense in the first place to not accept extravagant gifts from these "friends" of his. The concept of a "conflict of interest" has apparently been foreign to him throughout his career.
In a bizarre sidebar, apparently as a misguided attempt to make himself more palatable to the common man, Thomas revealed that he likes to drive around the country in his personal R.V. with his treasonous wife, Ginni. When he is on a road trip, Justice Thomas says he frequently parks his R.V. in Walmart parking lots overnight. I guess national and state parks and those R.V. camps don't bestow freebies upon Supreme Court Justices. In any event, much to her dismay, Joni discovered that not only does this Walmart now close early, but Justice Thomas and his R.V. were nowhere to be found. Joni's hope for a chance meeting were dashed. She would have liked the opportunity to knock on his door, and maybe his fat head, and lecture him on the subject of conflicts of interest, while urging him to do the right thing and resign.
UPDATE: August 6, 2023 - The Sunday New York Times today published a page 1 expose of Justice Clarence Thomas' relationship with a billionaire "friend" by the name of Anthony Welters, who essentially gifted Justice Thomas with a $267,230 luxury R.V. which was disguised as a "loan" dating back to 1999. The story puts a lie to Justice Thomas' tall tale about scrimping and saving for years to buy his R.V.. It also raises serious ethical questions relating to his failure to report the R.V. as a gift pursuant to Federal ethics laws, not to mention the IRS Tax Code, which requires even Supreme Court Justices and not just federal jurists in lower courts to disclose certain gifts, liabilities, and other financial dealings that could pose conflicts of interest.
Of course, Mr. Welters is not the only billionaire to bestow lucrative gifts upon Justice Thomas during his tenure as a Supreme Court Justice. In particular, Justice Thomas is very cozy with Harlan Crow, a wealthy real estate developer from Texas, who has bestowed numerous gifts and luxury vacations upon Justice Thomas over the years. One must ask why would someone would do such things for Justice Thomas? Assuredly, it would have nothing to do with Justice Thomas' status as a Supreme Court Justice who just happened to have cases involving companies in which Mr. Crow has financial and proprietary interests. In any event, Justice Thomas saw no conflict of interest and did not choose to disqualify himself from hearing and ultimately voting on those cases, as he should have done.
The man is a disgrace to the Supreme Court specifically, and the legal profession in general. He should be removed from the Supreme Court and prosecuted.

A city or county animal shelter is nothing more than an extermination camp. Don't let this oxi-moron of a word fool you. Please Adopt before you Shop.
Venturing outside of the bustling clinic, I follow the children with playful looks on their faces as they scurry down the dirt roads.
Reaching the end of Yansoon Street, I stop in my tracks. Silence. Oh, the serenity of silence. So silent that you wouldn't even notice the three youngsters who are frozen in action. Monkeying around but careful not to get caught.
The children of Zaatari Camp don't wait for playgrounds to be built. They create them.

Here are the removable portions of the rack. They are very easily removed by removing the inserted clevis pins; and then lifting strait up/off the permanent rack. The removable rack tube inserts over the permanent rack where smaller diameter tubes have been welded inside the main tube. As such the clevis pins hold no weight, and merely just keep the rack locked in place. They are superfluous for travel in this regard. When removed I can stack all components within each other and store underneath the camper while camping. Don't want to look like Sanford and Son...
So, you say you've never been to camp before? And you think you know the camp routine cold, but the director won't let you have the job?
Or you want to run the waterfront, but you can't even swim in cold water?
If you fit any of the above descriptions, this book is for you!
It will make veteran campers out of new ones, cool campers out of veterans.
It will make all campers laugh!
Here's a sample of what's inside:
• How to look like a cool camper
• 10 kids you'll find at every camp
• 9 counselors you won't be able to avoid
• A complete letter-writing-guide – how to mystify you parents and impress your friends
Are you really ready for summer camp? Don't worry. After reading this book, you'll be ready for anything!

The name says it all. This 6-campsite camp is appealing for hunters – especially when they see the beautiful gathering shelter!
Not a hunter? Sportsman Camp may still be for you. You can explore the forest roads on your ATV or just enjoy the quiet of nature back at camp. Don’t let it’s previous name, Sweat Creek, scare you off! Last we checked it smelled like roses.

United Workers Cooperative Colony (1926–27)
Architect: Springsteen & Goldhammer
2700–58 Bronx Park East
Allerton, Bronx
The project was established as a non-profit trade union cooperative by the United Workers’ Association. Union members were mostly involved in the needle trades. Most were non-religious Jews and many were Communists. (Jewish holidays and traditional ceremonies were not celebrated.) There were a sprinkling of non-Jewish and black or inter-racial families. Residents were called "coopniks". The complex housed 339 families in the first section and 328 in the second. The raised basements featured classrooms, recreational facilities, a restaurant, a day-care center and a library. Shops in the neighborhood were sponsored by the organization. When completed, it was the largest cooperative housing complex in the U.S. Unlike private ownership cooperatives, in the Coops, tenants bought a single share in the cooperative. When they moved, the coop bought back the share at the same price originally paid. There was no profit to be made in selling apartments. By 1943, the Coop was bankrupt and became a rental property.
The United Workers' Association was founded in East Harlem in 1918. They first established a cooperative apartment building at 1815 Madison Ave. In 1922, they opened Camp Nitgedaeget ("Camp Don't Worry" in Yiddish) in Beacon, New York. Advertised as "the first proletarian camp for workers", it was the largest cooperative camp in America. Out of the organization grew the United Workers' Cooperative Association, founded in 1925. They bought property to the east of the New York Botanical Gardens. At the time, the East Bronx was being developed by speculators eager to entice upwardly mobile workers from the slums of Manhattan. Unfortunately, the onset of the Great Depression brought the cooperative movement to a grinding halt.
“The Coops” [pronounced coops, not co-ops] were the subject of the Independent Lens film AT HOME IN UTOPIA (2009).

April/May Hiking Trip.
Day 2. Monday, April 29th.
Tallulah Gorge State Park, GA.
My photos.
The Shortline bike trail was the best part of this day. We rode it twice. FINALLY got some quiet time in the woods. This place is SO noisy from the highway, but the Shortline was cool, quiet and pleasant.
This day was a huge disappointment. the place has a ton of rules and a schedule for water releases. We planned our entire trip around hiking the gorge using their schedule. We get their early Monday morning (only 100 passes per day allowed) and were told they're decided to extend the water release. WTF?! This is actually the 2nd time this happened to us. The first was on another trip and we detoured 200+ miles to hike the gorge, but it started sprinkling when we arrived and they closed it. And the girl at the campground was rude that day, so we didn’t even camp. Don't think we'll go back here again.

When Chad and me finished up our whiskey we looked around.
"This place looks like a fine camp, don't it son?"
"Yeah, I think you're right."
"So, what do you think we should do, kid?"
"I say we fight our way outa this damn place."
"I gotta say, I was thinkin about doin that exact thing. So where dya suppose we start on this whole thing?"
"Guns. We need guns."
"Good. So where we headin?"
"I don't know."
"We had better figure that out, then hadn't we?"
"I guess so, boss."

The Muslim camps don’t have government-run schools. Only a small fraction of kids gain entrance to schools run by Finn Church Aid, where they are taught how to read, write and count. Dil Murmad, who teaches at Quran school, keeps his class outside as there’s no space inside the school for all of the children. He teaches the Quran and Arabic. For many kids it is the only accessible school.

Blue Mountain was the headlining band Friday night. We liked their a capella gospel best.
Some people in our camp don't necessarily appreciate the finer points of bluegrass and the sentence "shoot me now" was heard and noted. BUT, i thought they were good and there was still that awesome a capella gospel. :)
BAND BOYFRIEND: again, a cute dobro boy: Rob Ickes. He played the next day in a workshop with Joe Craven, too.
Thermo Burn Camps for weight damage or "fat" camps because they were also commonly known is a fresh environment oriented course for weight loss. That is much helpful to those persons who have tried and failed many times on the other weight loss programs. If you're the person who would like and didn't try new, this fat camp is normally for you personally. If you are sick of the environment you are in, again, this camp is for you. This is very different from what people think of weight loss. You will be in a different place for a fresh beginning.
Should you be desperate more than enough to lose excess weight, you may want to try this fat camp. However, deciding for this camp can be hard particularly if you are ill-informed of what things to expect through the camp and what particular program and rewards it can give you. As such, it is important that you have to orient yourself with weight loss camps. Don't disregard your idea about it because it is far beyond the most common diet and exercise.

My base pack as of January 2019
Left to Right:
Tarp.
Suspension straps.
Hammock & winter cover.
Food: from back to front, food & fuel bag, cooking set, water filter, cup & spoon.
Fleece sleeping bag/blanket.
10°F underquilt.
40°F top quilt.
Down pillow.
At front: sit-pad.
At rear: 60+10 liter Deuter backpack.
Not shown, clothes, electronics, and 2 liter water bottle which I normally carry empty and fill when I’m getting ready to camp.
Don’t be fooled by the size of my pillow, it’ll just about fit into my cup if need be. Base weight is around 20 – 22 lbs. The 40°F quilt doubled up with the fleece blanket has worked fine down to 23°F. I’m waiting for my 10° quilt to arrive when I’ll be able to leave the fleece behind, well I might not leave it behind as it’s good to wrap myself in while I’m sitting round the campfire, and it has lots of burn holes to show for it. My new quilt will not be ready for another five weeks, and if the weather improves, I may not need it by then. That’s one of the problems of buying from cottage manufacturers.
Update: February 18, and my top quilt has arrived, and it is looking really good. Now for a chance to get out and try it out.

Filippiada refugee camp in the Epirus region in Northern Greece. This camp is located quite isolated outside of a little village, not guarded in the night. Since the number of arrivals is rising again, especially the Epirus region comes into focus - because more refugees are choosing the land route over the sea route nowadays.
Adult Inhabitants of this camp don't have a real chance to integrate into Greek society, they are mostly bored and do nothing but to wait for the decision about their application for asylum. Thus, one of the most important things for them in the camp is reliable Wifi.

This is a weird family camping tradition that started about ten years ago. We were camping and cooking fried potatoes when we realised we had forgotten the salt, and the best substitute within 30km was the packet of chicken-flavoured crisps we had with us.
Ever since then, we've cooked chicken-flavoured-chips-flavoured-chips whenever we camp. Don't ask for any more explanation.

Adult Inhabitants of this camp don't have a real chance to integrate into Greek society, they are mostly bored and do nothing but to wait for the decision about their application for asylum. Most of them want to continue to Germany or Austria, because there is no economical perspective in Greece.
Since more and more camps on the mainland up North are full, Filippiada is being enlarged.
