Decided to go out Saturday because the weather was supposed to be cooler, and cloudy. Well it was cooler 85f. But zero clouds. I swear I'm going to move to a state that has clouds.
Got to my first spot, and found out they have now fenced the entrance path to the spot. A GIANT field with a path leading to my spot is not completely fenced. forcing me to walk about an mile out of my way to get to the spot. Yeah, I could have easily jumped the fence, walked through and jumped the next fence. There was so much traffic in the area I could just walk around. I need the exercise anyway.
The long walk to my spot took me pretty close to one of my favorite bridge spots, so I decided to hike up a bit and see what was new. A few new pieces and a few old favorites that were still there, un-touched. Those are in today's upload as well.
Got to my spot finally. This spot has a homeless "issue" but I've had nothing but pleasant interactions with anyone who's approached me. Mostly I think they are just curious what I'm doing out there for 5-6 hours standing around in one spot. As soon as I say "the trains.." they always go "oh, cool." So every time I go there I always take inventory of all of the people who are out there so I know where to keep an eye out. Got there at like 10:15AM and I see a guy coming out from under a tree about 200' away. Moving slow, and carrying a box. Moving the box from one place to another, then another box, etc. I'm not worried about this person.
About an hour into my session, I see a guy walking along in the wash below.. Looks about 60-65, with no shirt, and is about as tan as you can get. This guy has obviously been in the desert sun for a while. After a couple of minutes he gets to me, throws out his hand and introduces himself as "Jeff". Asks how I'm doing and what I'm doing out there. I said "the trains" and he nods. Says he's headed up to the gas station down the tracks and up the road, and asks if I want him to bring me something to drink. "nah, I'm good", "OK, see ya'" Oh, forgot to mention, Jeff had a fixed blade knife about 12" long strapped to the front of his belt. I also carry a knife when I go out, just in-case so I understood his carrying of a knife and seeing it didn't faze me.
Spent about 4 hours at that spot, and hit up another spot on the way home and flicked some other amazing pieces.
Was a great day out, and I had fun. Isn't that what it's all about!!? I even managed to flick some pieces from some of my favorite writes I haven't seen before!
Also witnessed a procession of like 100 Honda Groms and other motorcycles rolling by: youtu.be/H4uLI_EupHU
Thanks to all of the writers and fellow benchers. Stay safe out there. Look both ways before crossing!!

As usual, I'll be by in a few days to start #tagging pieces that that I recognise or can figure out. If you spot any errors, just let me know.
Because we are your friends,
You'll never be alone again
Well come on
Well come on
Well come on
Well come on
Because of a crazy school schedule I haven't touched my camera in almost two weeks. I've been spending all my time in Illustrator. Did this trace painting, using the pen tool, of my original picture for a class project.
Because it has more than the required pieces of flair!
Fiber:
Bockstark Handspun in Chotchkie's
100% sw merino

Because I was making a sampler of each weeks stitches I decided to take part in the Crazy Quilt Journal Project for 2012
and use all the stithes from each month in a free form style.
Because of some wildfires somewhere miles and miles away it had been hazy for days... No good at all, but at least it created some interesting light.
An afternoon spent capturing some old signs in south Calgary that probably won't be with us much longer.
I've always liked the fact that "Macleod" is spelled wrong...
I'm glad I was never a professional baseball player, because I don't want to go to Iowa when I die.
I said not long ago that while I like baseball and enjoy watching a game, I'm not a huge, addicted baseball fan. I don't really keep up with it the way the big fans do, and I've never been one to quote statistics. I just think it's fun sometimes to sit down and listen to the calm drone of the TV announcers while watching a game on TV. Or, even better, actually going to the stadium on a cool summer night and sitting in the stands. There's something about that door that leads from a concourse into the stands that feels comfortable and inviting. I always like the look of things when you first step into the baseball park light.
Editor's Note: I'm going to try to get in all the baseball pictures tomorrow. I'm trying to be more judicious in what I post so I'm not still on this trip at the end of the year. I might not be successful in this, so I'm also probably going to have a few days when I post more pictures at once than is advisable. Like today, it would have made narrative sense to stop three pictures ago. But I didn't.
Fuzzy Door Productions MUST BE BANNED AND GET SHUT DOWN FOR GOOD because Fuzzy Door Productions makes bad inappropriate shows about private body parts like Family Guy and American Dad which has bad inappropriate phrases about body parts which reminds me of my guilt of Corduroy the Bear when his button was in a storm drain and when Jessie Burris made my guilt of Corduroy the Bear worse by telling me that an alligator ate Corduroy's button and yelling out bad inappropriate phrases about body parts from Family Guy and American Dad at me and punched me in the elbow on December 2009 which made me super upset and worried and have ate a lot of salt and vinegar Pringles Potato ships, ate a big bowl of Fruity Pebbles, and ate extra school lunches and eating all of them nervously and feeling guilty for Corduroy and his buttons ending up with a sick stomach with green spots on exams week puking in a bathroom trash can and then I had to be sent home during the exams on December 2009, and my guilt of Corduroy the Bear the sick stomach I have got on December 2009 is all Betty Quan, Jessie Burris, Fuzzy Door Productions, and Seth McFarlan's fault. So I hereby Family Guy and American Dad MUST END IMMEDIATELY along with modern Simpsons and that Nelvana and Hanna-Barbera MUST TAKE OVER Fuzzy Door Productions. But at least they did get Corduroy's button out of the storm drain and put Corduroy's button back on Corduroy the Bear's green corduroy overalls and Corduroy the Bear does have two buttons on his green Corduroy overalls forever and Nelvana's version of Corduroy the Bear will be revived with the premiere of Two Buttons again and Forever and all of my favorite buildings in New Jersey will always be around etc. And I am even adding a New pavilion shopping Center taking over the Fox studios due to the bad inappropriate phrases from Family Guy and American Dad and the mean-spirited stuff in modern Simpsons (The Simpsons seasons 19 and later) especially modern Simpsons (The Simpsons seasons 19 and later) is giving many mean teachers bad ideas of getting students arrested based on their disability like autism or their race because of what Chief Wiggums does in modern Simpsons which is not acceptable at all. I am even having Nelvana acquire Hanna-Barbera and restore Hanna-Barbera back to their original Glory and restore Hanna-Barbera back to their original most popular classic iconic character designs as and animation style from the 1950s and 1960s for Hanna-Barbera to go back up on the top from when Warner Bros ruined Hanna-Barbera and remade Hanna-Barbera against their original Glory. Before Blue's Clues was ever created they used to make minor goofs of Mickey Mouse's iconic red short overalls with yellow buttons and no shoulder straps occasionally being low waisted and looking like a loincloth and having the buttons marking the human penises referencing the inappropriate phrases about body parts from American Dad and Family Guy is extremely vulgar and reminds me of when Corduroy's button was in a storm drain at the end of Cute as a Button which made me extremely upset but good thing I am working for Nelvana reviving Nelvana's version of Corduroy the Bear with the premiere of Two Buttons again and Forever fixing Betty Quan's upsetting mistake for good by showing that they did get Corduroy's button out of the storm drain and put Corduroy's button back on Corduroy the Bear's green corduroy overalls and Corduroy the Bear does have two buttons on his green corduroy overalls forever. They MUST CENSOR the inappropriate phrases about body parts in ALL future American Dad and Family Guy broadcasts because the inappropriate phrases about body parts from American Dad and Family Guy are so gross and inappropriate and so annoying and cringy like Dee Dee's laugh from Dexter's Laboratory and the inappropriate phrases about body parts from Family Guy are making me worried for Corduroy's button and the author of the Corduroy (Nelvana TV series) episode Betty Quan was also watching Dexter's Laboratory and having on DeeDee laughing in the episode of Dexter's Laboratory she was watching while writing the Corduroy episode Cute as a Button is why the Corduroy episode Cute as a Button does have an upsetting ending where Corduroy's button fell in a storm drain across the street from Lisa and Corduroy's apartment Building and forgot to show that they did get Corduroy's button out of the storm drain and put Corduroy's button back on Corduroy the Bear's green corduroy overalls and that Corduroy the Bear does have two buttons on his green corduroy overalls forever and in that storm drain, right after when the button fell in DeeDee from Dexter's Laboratory made Mowgli from Disney's 1967 animated film The Jungle Book fall on Corduroy's button and lay his stomach on the bottom of the storm drain and Corduroy's button was going on the front of Mowgli's bright red cotton fabric loincloth shorts and DeeDee was laughing about it which made me super upset which caused me to have guilt of Corduroy the Bear on December 2009 and what made my guilt of Corduroy the Bear worse was that a student at my middle school Dean Rusk in Canton Georgia named Jessie Burris told me a mean lie that an alligator ate Corduroy's button, yelled out the inappropriate phrases about body parts from American Dad and Family Guy at me, and then she punched me in the shoulder, then she told me to move on from my golden nostalgic toddler stuff like riding on school buses and bring back the bad things from the early 90s such as pear-shaped wrecking balls and ice cream trucks with the bad old outdated red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO (which are extremely confusing to people who are deaf, color blind, can't read, or don't speak English and we need to help out those people out too) and then she told me that she liked DeeDee's annoying idiotic laugh from Dexter's Laboratory and the inappropriate phrases about body parts from American Dad and Family Guy which made me even more upset and worried for Corduroy and his button causing me to have anxiety with my guilt of Corduroy the Bear and all of that I was overeating so much food on December 2009 by making my bowl of Fruity Pebbles super big, munching giant stacks of salt and Vinegar Pringles Potato ships, and having a lot of extra school lunches and I was eating all of these foods all at once nervously for Corduroy and his button and then on exams week on my 8th grade school year on December 2009, I was having a sick stomach with green spots from overeating and then I had to rush to the restroom at my middle school Dean Rusk in Canton, Georgia and I was puking in the restroom bin at my middle school Dean Rusk in Canton Georgia and they had to send me home and skip the exam eventhough I wanted to take the exam and succeed in school. But good thing I am fixing Betty Quan's upsetting mistake by reviving the Nelvana TV show Corduroy with the premiere of an entirely new episode titled Two Buttons again and Forever which is the sequel to Cute as a Button showing that they did get Corduroy's button out of the storm drain and put Corduroy's button back on Corduroy the Bear's green corduroy overalls and that Corduroy the Bear does have two buttons on his green corduroy overalls forever and that I am writing and producing a lot more entirely new Corduroy episodes with Corduroy the Bear having two buttons on his green corduroy overalls instead of one and I am re-editing all season 1 episodes with Corduroy the Bear having two buttons on his green corduroy overalls instead of one and re-editing Betty Quan's Cute as a Button with the beginning of Two Buttons again and Forever as the alternative ending. Good thing I have decided to give up Family Guy because the inappropriate phrases about body parts from American Dad and Family Guy are making me worried for Corduroy's button and the other reason why I have decided to give up Family Guy is because I will have kids of my own when I live in Toronto reviving Nelvana's version of Corduroy the Bear with the premiere of Two Buttons again and Forever fixing Betty Quan's upsetting mistake for good by showing that they did get Corduroy's button out of the storm drain and put Corduroy's button back on Corduroy the Bear's green corduroy overalls and Corduroy The Bear does have two buttons on his green corduroy overalls forever. And my own kids will be a son named Pinocchio William Joseph Rich and a daughter named Pollyanna Wendy Lisa Rich. Good thing Disney now always have the waist of Mickey Mouse's iconic red short overalls with yellow buttons and no shoulder straps have the waist going all the way up to the chest and no longer having minor goofs of the overalls being low waisted and looking like a loincloth and I know for a fact all pants with two buttons going horizontally up in the front are overalls no matter if they have shoulder straps or not because pants always have the waist going all the way up to the chest if they have two buttons going horizontally up in the front no matter if they have shoulder straps or not. As one of my collaborations when I revive Nelvana's version of Corduroy the Bear with the premiere of Two Buttons again and Forever Fixing Betty Quan's upsetting mistake for good I will censor these stupid minor goofs of Mickey Mouse's overalls.

Because she ate her red leather one - so had a trip to emergency vet yesterday afternoon.
Vet made was ambivalent about making her vomit, but I insisted. Vet was glad I did given the size of some of the pieces she swallowed. They would very likely have caused a blockage - which would have been much more expensive to clear!
Because I didn't want to disturb Mother to go get the camera. We're
encouraging the lap cat tendencies whenever we can.
This picture shows how bad the land has become because of Climate Change and that not only people have been affected but also livestock. If the animals have no grazing land, they cant produce milk and contribute to milk production, and produce manure to improve the soil.It was taken in Monze district, in Zambia. Agriculture is a way of life for many Zambians especially that 56% of the population lives in rural areas and 90% of these depend on agriculture for their livlihoods. Additionally, Agriculture is a large employer accounting for more than 70% of total employment.The farmers try to use crop residues to make their land fertile so that there can be food not only for them but also for their dairy animals, because there is hardly any grazing area. This is very important for them because Dairy farming is an important means of livelihood for people in this area. It is vital that farming practices that improve the soil are promoted so farmer's fields are improved and the cows have grazing land. every one wins.
