Today our little town was doing a kite day to encourage families to unplug. Only about 20 families showed up but It was still fun to see all the kites up in the air. This was our first time flying a kite and I loved it... I found it to be very relaxing once the dang thing was up in the air.
On a side note I am so behind on this 365. I needed to take a tiny break but I plan on catching up and getting my motivation back.

"This is a parallel world. This is exactly what we expect it to be.
This is the Internet. The web. This is the same world we live in, but we can't see it. Only a few people can, and only if they are out of their mind. That's what it takes to be able to live it. Codes, viruses and sensations. Display, letters and fake fame. Like in our world. So, if you would have the chance now to be able to see it, would it be y or n? Plug it or unplug it? Error. Probably."

While hiking, I have been seeing a growing number of people taking only a brief view of the surroundings and then burying themselves in their electronic devices. This ongoing project highlights the need to re-examine our need to unplug and just enjoy the beauty of this world.

This image is quite a good representation of how (during a processing time) I feel on the inside. When I say processing I mean trying to establish why I feel the way I feel, what is/has caused it and what is the way forward.
I spent day after day processing for weeks (which, let me tell you is DRAINING!) but as the days turn to weeks, you have less need to process and more time to live a little.
Florida was amazing on so many levels. I didn't quite appreciate how much I needed the break until I was there. Suddenly not having to think all the time about everything, unplug from responsibilities and look beyond your own soap-opera to go and feature in someone elses. That, by the way, is my personal metaphor for life. We are all the star in our own soap opera. Some people are cast members such as friends and family, some people play guest roles and feature now and again and some people stay for a season and leave.
Florida saw a mass connect of many soap operas. On this particular day, Lynne and Rick left to go home plus Cassandra left to go to Germany. Both of them had gone within an hour or two of each other (a couple of days before I was due to go home) and quite honestly I could not get it together after they left. It was like, I connected with these people who were so much fun and sharing in the same experiences as me...and suddenly it was their time to leave. It took me a good while to process, so much so, I had to call my security blanket Phil to understand why I felt the way I did.
He was clear- you have invited many people into your life and suddenly you are alone again. You need to now busy yourself until you are due to come home.
Simples. He was right, I know I am very good at letting people in. I am rubbish at letting them leave. If they do have to go, I have to make it gradual and slow or it throws me into a spin.
So beware, if you are thinking of leaving me, it might not be so easy moohaahahha :)

Oh the First World War, boys
It closed out its fate
The reason for fighting
I never got straight
But I learned to accept it
Accept it with pride

New singing Rapunzel doll has been fully deboxed. She is standing, supported by a doll stand borrowed from one of my Disney Store Limited Edition 17 inch dolls. She is also holding the light up lantern in her right hand, with her arm outstretched to her side. Here she is singing, with the lantern and flowers in her hair lit up.
She is identical to last year's Singing Rapunzel, except that she sings 'I See the Light' instead of 'Healing Incantation', and the packaging is different. The Try Me feature is activated by opening the lid, and she sings 10 seconds of the song. To debox her, you have to open the bottom first, so you can unplug the Try Me wire from the front lid. Then you can lift the inner box (to which the doll is attached) from the outer box. She is attached to the inner box and plastic supports by wires, tiny T-tabs and rubber bands.
After the Try Me wire is unplugged from the back of the doll, she can now sing the 45 seconds of 'I See the Light' by sliding the lantern on her right hand. The lantern and plastic flowers in her hair light up while she sings.
I got the singing Rapunzel doll last Friday (July 22, 2016) from the Disney Store, that I ordered during the Friends and Family sale. I have yet to see her in stores (as of July 31, 2016).
Even though I'm not thrilled with the look of the new Rapunzel's box, the Try Me mechanism is rather neat. You first enable the Try Me switch by pulling a long plastic tab in the back. Then there is a switch attached to the hinge of the front cover, which is activated when you close then open the lid far enough. It will cause Rapunzel to sing about 10 seconds of I See the Light, and light up the lantern she is holding and flowers in her hair. I will post more detailed photos of Rapunzel when I debox her. I still have not seen her in stores yet. And the new singing Belle doll is nowhere to be found, either in stores or online.
Now I have singing rapunzel dolls with three different songs. ''When Will My Life Begin'' (2011 - 2014), ''Healing Incantation'' (2015) and now ''I See the Light'' (2016). I wish that other of the Disney singing dolls would have such a variation in their songs.
The fact that all sides are covered by cardboard (except for the oval plastic window in front), makes the box very sturdy. In particular, all the edges and corners are really stiff, so resist damage during shipping. My doll's box came in perfect shape, which I can't say for most of the doll boxes I order from the Disney Store. The box wasn't packed any better than usual (a few airbags on the bottom of the shipping carton), but the sturdiness of the doll's box made the difference. Also this box is much thicker (deeper) than previous singing doll boxes, and even LE doll boxes, so leaves lots of room to position the doll nicely. The new construction also means the boxed doll is bulkier and heavier than previous singing dolls, so may be more costly to ship.

South America’s First Luxury Sleeper Train
From May 2017, the Belmond Andean Explorer will operate along one of the world’s highest rail routes in the Peruvian Andes; some of the most breath-taking scenery in the world.
From Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire—traversing the highest plains of the Andes—to the reflective beauty of Lake Titicaca. Take the opportunity to explore the vast Colca Canyon then continue towards the city centre of Arequipa, a UNESCO World Heritage site (or in reverse).
The new train will have capacity for 68 guests in a range of en-suite cabins including two double cabins, 20 twin cabins and 12 bunk-bed style cabins for two people.
There will also be two dining cars, a lounge car and an observation car with an open-air deck for scenic viewing.
Travelling through some of the most breath-taking scenery in the world, Belmond Andean Explorer is designed to connect guests with the abundant nature of the Peruvian Andes. Interior designs, by Inge Moore of The Gallery HBA, are inspired by the texture of Peru’s hand-woven fabrics and the soft tones of the Alpaca wool blended with Andean slate greys create a sense of calm enabling guests to unplug, relax and enjoy the journey.
A selection of four journeys include ‘Peruvian Highlands’, a two night, three day journey departing from Cusco, the capital of the ancient Inca Empire travelling across the highest plains of the Andes reaching 4800 metres in altitude, to Puno where guests can visit the remote villages and floating islands on Lake Titicaca and then onwards to the city centre of Arequipa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site – highlights of this journey include a chance to explore the vast Colca Canyon, the dramatic realm of the condor. Or, the ‘Spirit of the Andes’ journey traverses the Altiplano from Lake Titicaca to Cusco, for an overnight escape.
Prices start from $462pp (£320pp) for the one-night ‘Spirit of the Andes’ journey, including all meals, open bar and excursions.
Cabins
Discover true relaxation as you step into your own personal sanctuary. Cabins come in suite/double, twin and bunk bed configurations, each with its own en-suite and shower.
Lounge Car
Invite new friends to gather around the baby grand piano and relax in comfortable seating as majestic vistas drift past outside. Share a lively story from the day’s adventures and enjoy a refreshing drink from the bar.
Two Dining Cars
Serving fresh, colourful and seasonal dishes using locally sourced ingredients from the Peruvian Andes in the elegant dining carriages. Menus are skilfully designed by our chefs from Belmond Hotel Monasterio, Cusco.
Observation Car
The place to unwind, meet new friends and enjoy the views whilst sipping a Pisco Sour from the bar. Breathe in the Andean air from the open deck of the Observation Car as the train travels through the ever-changing landscape.
The brand new scoreboard at American Family Field was not working for Friday night's game between the Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds. At over 12,000 square feet, it is one of the biggest in all of Major League Baseball. That is, when it is on. I wonder if an IT tech asked them to unplug it, and plug it back in. That usually fixes any technical probelm.
That being said, it felt like how baseball used to be, with the fans watching the game, and not the giant TV in center field. It also temporarily created the league's largest hitter's black, which is the dark area above every center field wall, allowing hitters to see a white ball a lot easier when it is pitched.
The Brewers won the game, 8-3, and maintained their 7-game lead in the National League Central Division.

thinking and planning i examine my escape route from the big city redoubt
doubting my ability but testing my agility to withdraw from society
i have no answers the coercion buy diversion from the cancer in our system
because i march in an army armed with gasoline we drive buy shopping we fuel the big machine of
consumer hypocrisy we all fall debt on the plains of corporate strategy
consumption by the masses derision by the classless it ain’t no oddity selling nature as commodity
is reducing us to ashes
the one percent rules our government their faceless i need to put my fist in
greed has killed the kitty and science brought her back trademarked her genome for keys to the
kingdome
speculators manipulate producers capitulate i smell disaster the market is our master
knowledge once for free now enslaved endgamed reneged this is an outrage
but i’m clowning you see i’m drowning lost at sea no mercy no time for contemplation
tsunamis of technology spewing useless information i can’t keep up i must unplug
my time is bent my mind is spent online content surfing the blue wave flooding my cave
i see i am blind blinded to reality kneeling at celebrity sneering at diversity and supporting idiocracy
i can’t sea the forest through the gyre of rotting plastic my lungs breathe air that makes my soul
spastic
my mind is racing no longer facing hating the faking why are the wasted spaces devoured by multi-
tasking questioning a system its imperfection spreads infection limiting selection of common wisdom
and connection
degrowth designed declined demobilised demolitioned and decommissioned delighted by simplicity
shaken by conspiracy my ferocity becomes philosophy for my spirituality
i look for escape my time is getting late over the wire a tunnel through the fire a bow at the end of rain
it’s time for reacting a timely matter of facting the time for relaxing comes after escape hatching
Spent a long, leisurely weekend in the mountains. Everything works better when you unplug it for a while - even you!

OK, Flickr has returned my home page back to normal from the unusable nightmare they had turned it into.
A few days ago I and many other guinea pigs had our home page disrupted without warning or any option to get out of their test. Took some time but I found a site set up for feed back on their test.
"Flickr Bucket Testing - Bugs and Feedback "
To put it lightly the feed back was nothing short of an all out mutiny !!!
It was very clear the plan had absolutely no planning involved before it was implemented.
Without going into detail their plan was totally unacceptable !!!
So now lets get back to what has been going on around here while flickr played their game.
Hard storms have made my trips out to the monkey temple challenging but still all the dogs got fed and taken care of.
Couple of mishaps have left me with some new dings due to large trucks using the shoulder of the road for their own use.Trouble is that's the only safe part of the road for me to travel.
No Big Deal I'll heal up soon enough but my trusty old bike has taken a serious beating.
It's 30 miles round trip to the temple so walking is out of the question but at the moment it maybe my only option.
So whats going on around the house ?
Today is Sunday and in the last 3 days I have taken out 2 more Cobras. One Siam Cobra and one King Cobra with another lurking around the property someplace.
.
Why are the snakes showing up you ask ?
Easy, rain brings out the Frogs, and Cobras love to eat frogs, simple as that..
Big thunder and lightning storm is heading in once again so I'll post this then unplug the computer till the storm passes..................... Thank you for stopping by ..........;-)
Thank You.

I went back to the sleep clinic overnight for a follow up session where they monitor you to see how you have improved. Ironically it ended up being the worst sleep I've had in a long time. Weird dreams all night. She told me you have a mic taped to your neck if you need anything just say something. Well after saying about 6 times I need to get up to use the washroom I finally just got up and tried to open the door and not unplug any of the whack of wires hanging off me. She came running over and says oh why didn't you say anything? I think she was having a better sleep than me behind her desk....lol
On a positive note she said my mask is sealing well so I finally got a winner!! I don't go back until April to get the official report form the doctor.

Love is noise. The noise of pleasure and wounded flesh, the sounds of the impacient belly where your head rests, and the murmur of bus conversations over a long distance call. The hammering of blood in your brain trying to scream ‘always’ and ‘never’ at the same time.
And if love is noise, the opposite to love has to be silence. Maybe that is why, since Hector gave me that last kiss on the forehead, like a child who deserves no explanations, I hadn’t been able to unplug my earphones.

EL AMOR ES RUIDO
El amor es ruido. Sonidos de placer y de carne rasgada, el ruido del estómago impaciente sobre el que reposa tu cabeza, y el de las conversaciones distantes de una llamada de teléfono en un autobús. El de la sangre amartillando tu cerebro, intentando gritar siempre y nunca con una sola palabra.
Y si el amor es ruido, lo contrario del amor debe ser el silencio. Quizás por eso, desde que Héctor me habÃa dado aquel último beso en la frente, como a un niño que no merece entender nada, no habÃa podido despegar de mis oÃdos los auriculares de mi reproductor de música. Antes de eso, nunca habÃa encontrado demasiado placer en escuchar música, y habÃa defendido con la convicción de un iluminado que mi cerebro funcionaba mejor sin distracciones, como si mis flujos habituales de pensamiento merecieran algo más que un nivel básico de consciencia.
My evening scan of images has me a bit in a reflective state. I guess the usual punch of color and screaming detail I usually present via HDR can take a back seat for a night or 2.
Iceland, wow...
I was chatting a bit with a long time client and friend today about our awesome opportunity to make it over there last year. For me, anytime I get a chance to actually leave the country is in essence, a license to unplug from any real responsibility. I guess I have a bit of a split personality. Although I am an entrepreneur and need to be running my own ship for most of the time, it sure is nice to jump of the gang plank and abandon ship. I can remember bumbling about Europe a few years ago during one of my first trips over there. Just before leaving, I let Carl (the guy I left in charge) know that I would check in often. Well, 3 weeks later, I finally got around to checking in. I kinda miss those days without internet and cel phone. Kinda hard to REALLY escape these days. There's must be some place thats virtually unreachable on this planet. Guess I gotta do a little more work finding that place perhaps....LOL!
Ah yes, the feeling of wanderlust....
The images below were from just one of those kinda trips. Unplugged, exploring, and loving it in Iceland!
