Never mind the ice on the reservoir, it's warming up and my bike knows it. It's no doubt coming up with all sorts of plans to torture me this year. Bring it on, it's about time. I hope Sugar Bottom dries up soon so they can open the trails.
A bit more on the blog.
How many times have I come across a story or parable which keeps telling me to seek within? Again and again, and it always sounds wise and even common sense. Yet as I allow time to pass by me and ripen the fruit, the more I get to glimpse a fraction of this truth. And it is 'a fraction'.
"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." Guess who that's attributed to?
This last year has been, for me, like 'an axe to break the ice'. Academically I've understood that the treasure lies within, I've known that's where to look, but I've had no real comprehension of what that feels like or how to get there. Now i do.
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding, according to Kahlil. Somewhere along the line i consented to it, not in my unconscious sleeping state of the last X many years, through gritted teeth I swore blind it was against my will, but truth be told underneath it all, in that marble, under that ice, I knew the day would (begrugingly) come when I would grant it had been worth it.
And when that day came, all memory of pain dissolves, the old shell falls away, and i am present.

We went over to Lancaster Royal Infirmary today to see the Fracture Specialist. We arrived early and were seen about half an hour before my appointment time which was very impressive. After a short examination (during which I nearly fainted due to the pain) and some more x-rays he concluded that it looked unlikely I'd need an operation. Thank goodness. I was so releived, I'd been told to pack a bag for the hospital as if they decided to operate it would have been done that afternoon, so it was such a relief to know that I didn't have to stay in. I now have to go to a fracture clinic closer to home next week for some more tests andx-rays just to make sure. Fingers crossed.
If one goes over to the FBI compound with information on the exact location of a person who is on their most wanted list they will tell you to come back in two days to speak with a live agent during normal business hours. The man there said he knows of no reward that he is aware of ((.....sounds like our telecom here.)) So why bother?
What you take pictures of when waiting in line. And I will always know this ride as Mickey's Wheel of Death . . .

"Todos saben que las apuestas están arregladas
y aún así juegan esperando un golpe de suerte.
Todo el mundo sabe... que la guerra no existe,
los buenos la han perdido desde antes de iniciarla.
Todos saben que la lucha también estaba arreglada:
el pobre permanece pobre, el rico seguirá robando.
Así es como su controversia al sistema camina,
es un secreto a voces que nadie ignora.
Todos saben que la nave está por desplomarse,
están conscientes que el capitán trata de ocultarlo..."
Last night, I attended the 2nd annual Hope on the Slopes fundraiser at Ski Bowl. It was great to see such a large outpouring of support for cancer research, and particularly to see my company's team rally up donations for this cause. We have a friend in the office who was diagnosed recently, and everyone has been touched by her strength and resilience in the face of such adversity.
If you want to help, you can fight cancer today with a donation to the American Cancer Society. Any amount is greatly appreciated.
I know I have been putting up a lot of landscape/scenery pics from Jiuzhaigou lately, so for those of you who nature may be too much I present you with a Tibetan Beauty! I think she's beautiful but I tried some of the food she eats and it's really revolting. I nearly threw up just smelling the yak butter tea ha ha :-)
I'm a Fooly Cooly fan, but I guess my name makes it obvious, anyway.
I rarely smoke. Personally, I don't like cigarettes that much. I prefer hookahs. =)

windspeare: medievalpoc: madamefaust submitted to medievalpoc: I know it’s not 1800s week, but this gentleman is currently on display at the Newport Antiques Show in Newport, RI and I didn’t want to forget about him or his fabulous eyebrows by the time 1800s week happened. John Blanchard Thomas Howland United States, 1850-1857 [x] Thomas Howland was a resident of Providence, Rhode Island who worked as a stevedore and became the first black elected official in the city when he was elected warden of Providence’s Third Ward. He was denied a passport on the basis that he was a person of “African extraction” and thus “not deemed [a citizen] of the United States” - again, this man was an elected official, in addition to being a citizen with voting rights. In 1857, he and his wife and daughter left Providence for Liberia where his wife became a teacher and Howland worked as a sugar manufacturer. That is really cool! I’m going to post this (even though it’s actually an American painting), since this painting’s going to be on display this weekend at the Newport Antiques Show, in case anyone wants to go see it in person! I’m sorry but… Isn’t this another case of an immortal celebrity? #DEAD If this had been anyone except The Rock I could have resisted reblogging but…. Can we just please put him in every single silly action film loosely based on historical mythology pls? P.S. here’s a vase from 5th Century B.C.E. Greece depicting Heracles slaying Busiris:
"....know why it's good TRUMP puts his name on Buildings-so Big of Letters?
So The Banks can find em quick to take em back"!!
Hey-If I can see those damn letters from 2 miles away- they are too damn big!
AND-
poorly located on the buildings facade.
We all know how complex it is to pass through all the security checks & customs checks at the airport, we all have been there & know how strictly concerned the airport authorities are in terms of luggage & bag checks.

But first, let us explain what exactly “Smart Luggage” is.
Smart luggage has grown in popularity among business travelers, frequent travelers, and other tech-savvy individuals in recent years.

Holland, Kyle, and Amanda D'Amico. I Know the Woods Come Alive at Night. Philadelphia: The University of the Arts, 2018.
"I Know the Woods Come Alive at Night depicts the forest as if it were an architectural structure with a carpet leading visitors to the entrance. However, with only experiencing the outside, we are left to wonder what this liminal space contains. That text in this book was excerpted from an online hunting forum entitled "Do you ever get afraid in the woods?" and is positioned low on the pages, causing the viewer to crouch down to read as if they are looking for something in the thicket. These posts are confessions of fear which disprove my notion of the Southern male archetype and convey how I feel about going into the woods at night."--Artist's statement.

OK, so I know the quality isn't great ... but it was taken on my iPhone at sunset. Low light ... yeah. But it was gorgeous out there, and I wanted to remember being there, at the doggy park, with Josh and Port, the day before Thanksgiving. It was a nice family afternoon. And my expression doesn't really reflect my mood (ha! when does it exactly?) ... but maybe I captured that "damn, is this thing going to take a photo any time soon?" that I was feeling :-)
I do like that you can catch lens flare with an iPhone though ... that is really cool.

Whenever I see Luke and Leia together without context, I wonder if they know that they are related or not.
During 2015, the final year of Star Wars Weekends, I discovered that the characters who appear on stage before the fireworks left the park by walking past the ABC Commissary and using the gate between Star Tours and Backlot Express. One evening I stood on the path between Sci-Fi and Star Tours and greeted them all as they passed.
It looks like Mom and Dad are photobombing in the background.
Neil Young's second album, and his first with backing band Crazy Horse, this is Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969). An excellent album, if you're into folk rock.
Not sure how this turned out; I'll be mulling it over!

How to know if you have been secretly brainwashed... If you don't find it odd that a child on a merry-go-round spinning at 7km/hr must cling on for dear life until the ride stops so they can climb down and regain their composure on a planet that spins at 1600 km/hr then I'd say you have your answer.
FlatEarth meme collected by A.J. Wilson of iPressThis at FlatEarth.Online, made by others.
I know some folk sneer at people who put up pictures of their cats and dogs but I think they're still valid subjects. Anyway, I pay for this space so I can publish what I like!
So here's another one of Sandy. It's a wonder I've got any pictures of him at all as he is the least co-operative of all our dogs. Point a camera anywhere near him and he turns away - you have to be lightning fast to get anything. I quite like this one because of the nice evening light.
This cat insists on being photographed - as soon as he notices I have the camera out and start aiming at flowers, he will plant himself directly in the path of my lens!
I know it's a bit darker than what I usually photograph, but I wanted to capture the beauty of the ocean at pre-dusk and of course capture the rays of the sun at the same time :)
We do not know what she’s thinking.
Something about a love she once had
and lost, the mechanics of an ingrown
toenail. She has a pretty face, we know
that, which is to say he’d desire her
if he looked up. He has a strong back,
probably, maybe a woman at home
right now bending over a tub of laundry,
a remote control. Let’s not imagine
the worst. People have to live and they
have to be able to have a little fun. It’s
the great escape of the wolf in everyone
that makes the paycheck such a tolerable
instrument for measuring life’s inequities.
Her name is Ariel, his Francisco. He grew
up in a village where everyone had sisters
so he knows the mystery of woman is
insoluble. She was an only child, a spoiled
brat, but has become a good person,
disturbed by the world’s blindness
when it looks at some. She looks at many
and sees the goose, the lion and the dove
that rise each day from every human bed.
She sees the movement of shadow as it
transforms a clear head into a place
of violence. But she knows it’s love
that will save the world if it can be saved.
Now she is thinking about bread,
the joy of good teeth. He’s thinking
about beer, Mozart, the glorious
necessity of the absurd.
