I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm drivin' in my car
And a man comes on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no
Oh no no no
Hey hey hey
That's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm watchin' my TV
And a man comes on and tells me
How white my shirts can be
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me
When I'm ridin' round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl
Who tells me baby better come back maybe next week
'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak
I can't get no
Oh no no no
Hey hey hey
That's what I say
Or - an accidental discovery.
There is a certain satisfaction in discovering through experience the underlying reality of something we take for granted. I mean, we all know what a mile is right - 1760 yards. Well, actually no, it wasn’t that at all, that calculation must have come later, the mile stood alone prior to that.
On my long walks with my guide dog, and later with just my white stick, to pass the time I used to count my paces - sad I know, but I can’t see the scenery, so it kept me awake. I used to count 100 paces on just one foot, on each finger and thumb, and when I had done all digits - 1000 paces, I would transfer a coin to another pocket. As time went on, on certain walks , if there was a marker nearby like a large tree, a road or whatever. - something I could pick up, I would mark the 1000 paces or sometimes 500. One day I went in the car with my wife to see how far a particular walk was and as we drove I asked the distance at the markers I had accumulated, and to my surprise, they coincided almost exactly with 1 mile, or half mile intervals! The fact is - and you can verify this, 1000 strides on one foot is one mile, it is very accurate, to within 20 or 30 paces for me. I am of average height and stride. One hand half a mile, two hands a full mile.
This must be how the distance of one mile came into being, people in times of yore, needed to know how long a journey would take and therefore a standard was set by which anyone could gauge their progress. All you needed was 10 fingers and some stones in a pocket.
As a small boy I can remember seeing very old stone roadside markers - milestones, ’40 miles to London’ or 50 miles to London’ or which ever town, they must be all gone now. Somebody - with a pocket full of stones - must have paced those markers, 100 paces x 10 fingers x 10 stones = 10 miles. He would then leave some sort of marker by the wayside, and later along comes the horse and cart with the large stone markers and drops them off at each marked point.
The measurement of a yard has nothing to do with a mile. The name tells us that, it was obviously a measurement for small pieces of land and fields a *yard*. One day somebody said I wonder how many yardsticks make one of those mile things? They had someone - probably several people walk the mile, then lay down a yard stick at the starting point and discovered you had to flip it 1759 times to reach the mile.
So a mile is not a measurement of yards and feet, it is a measurement of hands and feet, and that photograph above, of all the cow parsley lining the road was taken precisely 3500 paces (on one foot) from my front door, or exactly, three and a half miles……

Almost done, you can see the tail a bit yet, but there is no "You should see the one that got away" story to this montage. It was an interesting and compelling view of nature!

Although doing a "365" is not for everyone, for those that do enjoy it, there is a real sense of satisfaction when number 365 comes around. This is my sincere congrats to all of you in this global community for your significant achievement – you've inspired me, made me smile and laugh, taught me about and showed me new parts of the world, invited me into your journey, pulled at my heart-strings, and given me much to be thankful for.... It's wonderful to be a part of this community. I thank each of you (too many to name) for your faves, and likes, and comments along the journey. From Kamloops, BC, Canada, I wish you all in 2023 a New Year with much laughter, meaningful experiences, and a peace deep in your inner heart. Happy New Year! I look forward to seeing you along the way as the new year unfolds.

Atticus sure loves it here..fresh mountain air, a new ball and just being outdoors. In his opinion, no comparison to our city living when we aren't here.
The first of 2016. It can look like any other sunrise (or sunset), of course. But some folks wake up early or stay up from last night's New Year's Eve festivities to mark the beginning of another year. If only for the personal satisfaction in knowing that there are 366 days (2016 is a Leap Year) to do things that were unaccomplished in the previous year. Like taking more sunrise/sunset photos. This one, incidentally, was taken with a smart phone.

Lotte often lies on the shelf next to my computer, and for me, there's nothing better than spending time with her like that.
All my cats have different personalities, and we all get along well.
When I think of all my cats who have been a part of my life, I know how rich my life has become because of my animals.
Happy Caturday
Questo scatto l'ho eseguito nel lontano ormai 1996, nel borgo di Arpino (FR) paese natale di Cicerone. Utilizzai una pellicola per me speciale la Kodak 160 GPX professional non più esistente, utilizzando una Pentax K 1000, il solito treppiedino e scatto flessibile. Era autunno inoltrato ed attesi, la luce del tramonto. Questa prospettiva mostra il borgo antico del paese ove è presente un arco acuto risalente al 3.000 a.c. di costruzione Ernica, un antico popolo locale e pre-romano. Questo scatto raggiunse la finale del premo Vittorio Bachelet andando in mostra nel locale che ospitò la premiazione e per me fu una grande soddisfazione perchè era la mia prima partecipazione a questo concorso fotografico nazionale. Ringrazio tutti per gli eventuali gradimenti.
I took this shot way back in 1996, in the village of Arpino (FR), the birthplace of Cicero. I used a special film for me the Kodak 160 GPX professional that no longer exists, using a Pentax K 1000, the usual tripod and flexible shutter. It was late autumn and I waited for the light of the sunset. This perspective shows the ancient village of the town where there is a pointed arch dating back to 3,000 BC. of Ernica construction, an ancient local and pre-Roman people. This shot reached the final of the Vittorio Bachelet prize going on display in the room that hosted the award ceremony and for me it was a great satisfaction because it was my first participation in this national photographic competition. Thank you all for any comments.
Le jardin Yili, situé à Saint-Rémy-l'Honoré (Yvelines), est le premier et unique jardin traditionnel chinois privé de France. Un lieu unique, emprunt de spiritualité. D’immenses sculptures minérales naturelles sont présentes tout au long du chemin. Toutes gravées d’idéogrammes, ces pierres, comme l’ensemble des monuments du jardin, portent un nom :
« C’est la tradition. Si une pierre ou tout élément naturel ne porte pas de nom, cela veut dire qu’elle n’a pas d’âme. »
Shi Kang (Co-créatrice du jardin de Yili)
