if you look closely, this tree is growing out of the chasis of this car, go figure, how that happened. how many years it takes for a tree to grow that old? it started with this car being abandoned when this tree was just a plant or perhaps just a seed or who knows it wasn't even there.
And what’s more I still have all my fingers.
This day, 6th March 1970, the British government announced an indefinite ban on the importation of pets into the country, a dog had died of rabies having successfully completed quarantine.
But everything’s fine now, pets have their own passports, can collect air miles and have access to duty free cigarettes and alcohol.
These appeared on a table in our entrance hall yesterday. A local church decided not to just leave them in an empty building.

How does it feel
To treat me like you do
When you've laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are
I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard your words
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now how do I feel

An interesting brochure - issued to car dealers and showrooms to show the range of advertising and publicity material that was available to support the launch of the new Austin A40 and A50 range, the Austin Cambridge, that was launched on 28 September 1954. It describes the items that were automatically free-issued as well as other items that could be obtained and these include printing blocks that allowed dealers to place adverts directly in publications such as local newspapers or magazines.
The range includes the brochures that would have been given to prospective purchasers, nationally issued adverts from Austin themselves, posters, folders and cards along with window banners. I suspect one interesting item would be the 'styling booklet "GS5 into Cambridge" showing how the car was designed from concept to production - strictly one per dealer! There is a name on many of the blocks showing the illustrator of the new model but I cannot decipher it.
Away from the hype - 'This new Austin will sell - and sell - and sell" - the A40 was not a big seller with sales of only around 30,00 until it was withdrawn in 1957. The A50, with a larger engine, sold better with 115,000 being built until 1957.
The brochure's cover uses the BMC 'rosette', the logo of the British Motor Corporation that was the result of the 1952 marriage between long term rivals Austin of Birmingham amd Morris Motors of Oxford.
How does she manage to dress and do her makeup in the wilderness? Well, don't forget pioneer women are resourceful and will figure out a way.

If you've ever wondered how car mags get those cool front-view photos of cars at speed, well, here you go and now you know. The brave Darren is strapped into the back of MotorTrend's Ram 1500 TRX, getting ready to shoot the Rivian R1T on the beach in North Carolina. No camera strap -- these kids today!! I caught my shadow in the corner.

What if there is nothing else for us after all this
I don't care, I don't mind, just as long as we find sometime
Just come back and I'll stay out of the way
An be all the things you need
Another mouth to kiss
How can I give you the answers you need
When all I possess is a melody?
Yeah, how can I take up the air that you breathe
When all I possess is a melody?
"How" by Badly Drawn Boy
Der Esel
Es stand vor eines Hauses Tor
Ein Esel mit gespitztem Ohr,
Der käute sich sein Bündel Heu
Gedankenvoll und still entzwei.
Nun kommen da und bleiben stehn
Der naseweisen Buben zween,
Die auch sogleich, indem sie lachen,
Verhaßte Redensarten machen,
Womit man denn bezwecken wollte,
Daß sich der Esel ärgern sollte.
Doch dieser hocherfahrne Greis
Beschrieb nur einen halben Kreis,
Verhielt sich stumm und zeigte itzt
Die Seite, wo der Wedel sitzt.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
ICKY. I hate how fat my back looks ='(
Anyway, I started an online blog today? Weird, huh? I decided to try it out just for the hell of it. It was really long, haha. If you want to read it, the link is: stiletto-kathryn.blogspot.com/
But yeah. At school today we had Rachel's Challenge, which was extremely powerful. It made so many people cry. Like my math teacher, karate buddy, etc. I did too. It was about the first girl killed in the columbine shooting. Her name was Rachel Scott. She was so amazing.

But yeah. I'm sure you can google her and find out all about it. I'm tired of typing haha.
"There was no message to be found anywhere in sight
Inside or out
I had looked everywhere but the only lamp left on in the house
Was a blue light
I was not ready
I'm no enchantress and I was too proud
Go find some Christmas angel then give that to her
If that's what she wants guardian angel...guardian
If you were wiser you would get out
Downstairs the big old house is mine
Upstairs where the stars still laugh and they shine
Downstairs where the big old house is mine
Outside where the stars still laugh and
Stars still laugh and shine
And the stars still laugh and cry and shine
And the stars still laugh and cry and shine
And the stars still laugh and shine and shine
Don't listen to her, listen through her
Some Christmas angel
Freedom well give that to her
Oh, if that's what she wants, guardian angel...guardian
If you were wiser you would get out
And the light that shines through the shining night
Is a lamp that I carried from my mother's home
And the light that burns through the window pane
And the love remains
And the guardian of your "Challenge" does not cry..."
("Blue Lamp" by Stevie Nicks)
That there, that's not me / I go where I please
I walk through walls / I float down the Liffey
I'm not here, this isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here
In a little while, I'll be gone / The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone...
And I'm not here, this isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here.

One day, suddenly.
In the shadows of Manchester Cathedral, Uk.
How many times has this door knob turned inside this small church?
How many hands? Tiny hands of young children, weathered hands of old farmers, smooth hands of young women, gnarled hands of elderly women who hand washed tons of laundry.
How many?
