The simple things
years of another day another dollar did not give us have the joy this honest open hearted toothless smile gave us
The village chieftain of kiraska was a gracious host and a lovely storyteller.
We might have brought them solar lights, but in a way these simple folks lit up our lives
I picked up the other day a couple strings of outdoor solar powered lights. Because our back porch is blessed neither with any kind of lighting, save for whatever might be gleaned from the other side of the french doors, nor any kind of external power outlet. These little, decoratively-caged lights fit the bill for outdoor lighting that doesn't require access to the power grid. And even on a solar-poor day as this one, the lights reliably switched on once the sun, already hiding behind an impenetrable gray blanket, dropped behind some unseen western horizon.

BACKSTORY: Achievement Unlocked: Attended virginal burn. Birthday Burn!!! -- The first (only?) year for this burn -- was intimate and awesome -- and we declare their effigy to be twice as good as any of the 2 Wickerman effigies we've seen burned. (3 Wickermans ago, we missed the burn due to alcohol.) // This was our 51st time camping. // On the flip side, it turns out packing 600 sq ft of tents and shade shelters, instruments, board games, croquet, bocce, cornhole, fireworks, 2 coolers, lights, clothes, kink toys, etc (all into a Prius) and driving 4.5 hrs to camp 3 days in 110 heat index while having a horrible illness and occasionally coughing up blood ...... is a way to learn your limits. // HARDEST CAMPING EVER. (Other than that time we tried to camp on Assateague Island during a tropical storm. Don't do that. You will end up having to leave. At least we did not have to leave.) // Clint was on the verge of heat stroke almost every day. We left a day early to not die. If not for the chill room with A/C, we probably would have had to leave before the burn. // Clint was also unable to do anything physical. We had to decamp over a 2 day period. It was just too fucking hot. If the AliExpress solar-powered fan hadn't arrived the day before, Clint'd have been even MORE fucked. // At Ramblewood for Fusion, the heat index was 95, but survivable. This 110 shit melts the eye makeup right off your fucking face. So we've learned our limit is about 95, nowadays. We will have to exercise caution, check forecasts, and possibly avoid early-bird tickets for anything in July. And also NOT bring the 30x10 shade shelter we bought, which is way more work than putting up three 10x10 pop-ups. However, it was inviting enough to get a bunch of people to visit our camp. But several parts of it broke upon first install. We filed a credit card dispute. The heat made us hardly do anything. We just talked and sat around. We didn't play any of the games we bought. We didn't launch our fireworks. We still had a great time. The effigy was amazing! The heat, however, just sucked the most of any heat of any of the 51 camping trips we've ever been on. It was rough.

i picked up these really nifty solar powered lights for the walkway in front of my house...and at night it looks like a disco party is going to start at any minute.
I quite wish I'd moved the little terra cotta pot before i'd taken this snap, because it would look like a big weird eyeball if I had.
Now it just looks like a big weird eyeball with a sty.

BACKSTORY: Full report of this yard sale expedition can be found at: clintjcl.wordpress.com/2012/06/16/journal-yard-sales-2012...
But in summary: 6hr33min trip of 69.1mi spending $93.32 on gas & 75 purchases worth $826.40. $126.17/hr saved.
The Dutch angle just happened as I tried to compose the shot, but as I liked the effect, I decided to keep it.
Besides, this fuchsia has survived a drought and manhandling, so it deserves a spot on the photostream.
Bought a £6 lamp from CPC. Cut the mains plug off it, spliced down the brown and blue cables within and added clips to them.
Put in a 2W LED bulb and voila - you have a battery powered lamp. That £10 7Ah battery will run this 12V light for about 30 hours. Our typical 100Ah batteries will run it for 500 hours.
And it is bright!
After the launch of the UK's Energy Africa campaign - which took place at the London HQ of Facebook - partners, ministers and NGOs gathered at a fringe event to share commitments and ideas.

Female Adult Literacy program was initiated in 2016. At present PEP is running 26 Female Adult Literacy (FAL) Centers with 316 Female Adult Literacy members (Adult Students) in different areas of rural Sindh as follows,
Khipro48
Mirpurkhas47
Khawaja Goth7
Tando Allahyar80
Tando Ghulam Ali134
There are 6 area officers and 1 WEP coordinator for the implementing and monitoring of the adult literacy program.
As a gesture of appreciation Pervaiz Lodhie President and founder LEDtronics Inc. offered a special gift of a Solar Powered LED Solar Light to the 316 student and 7 program officers.
Funding for the solar lights was provided by one of gentleman from USA. His name is not mentioned here on his advice.
First distribution ceremony was held on Thursday October 12, 2017 in Shaleemabad, Achaar Khaskeli & Shanti Nagar ALCs located in Tando Allahyar districts.
Lt. Gen (Retd.) Syed Perwaiz Shahid a renowned educationist was chief guest for the event.
Ms. Lillian Charles Program Manager PEP and other team members from PEP were present in the event.
During the ceremony 72 female students received solar lanterns. PEP will organize another event in Hyderabad for the distribution of remaining solar lights in November 2017.
Hope you are well , I am fine too. We are thankful for all your support through lights that you have provided to Women who are part of Adult literacy classes. As I have received a call from Mr Shahid i am sharing the following information with you.
Women Empowerment groups were started in 2013 in all the PEP schools. The ideas was to provide awareness to women regarding their rights, responsibilities, savings, and issues such as early marriage. These women were provided training on building low cost washroom and they were also provided training on how to save their families during severe floods. At present PEP has 67 groups in total. Each group has a group of 10 females.
In 2016 , on the request of women, adult literacy course is introduced to the women. Project aimed at 5 centres in 2016 but 27 centre were started in 2016. they women were provide free books and no fee was charged from them. A mobilizer from the same village taught these classes.. They course is designed for one year as it is a weekly class.
In 2017 , PEP introduced a centre where women can learn from android tablets. PEP has designed three grade applications in Sindhi on tablets which are useful for these women. They can use those applications and hear sounds and can read the sentences and stories.
Now women are able to read and write sentences. Instead of thumb print they can write their names. They developed their confidence and able to perform theater on sensitive issues. Some of the theatre performances are uploaded on PEP website.
PEP is reaching out to the marginalized communities with a hope of educating them and making them effective citizen of our country.
PEP requested you to distribute these light as a token of thanks and as a resource for them so they can use it in the night too. They are thankful for all the encouragement that you have provided to them.
Please feel free to ask further information.

How to add a touch of mystery to your evening view out the window:
Even if you don't have a garden, you can still enjoy solar light magic in the evenings. I bought these 6 solar lights a while ago and I immediately started to wonder where I could put them. I live in a block of flats and, although we do have a garden, the lights would not last long (either they would get destroyed or, more likely, they would get stolen). So, I decided to keep them somewhere safe. My first choice was the balcony. However, since it's a glazed balcony, the charging of the lights was not as effective since all the light and the heat were filtered through glass before reaching the solar panels of the lights. I therefore decided to place the lights somewhere outside, so the kitchen window was my next choice. It gets plenty of sun, so it was the perfect choice. The problem was in finding a way to attach the lights to the window sill. I found this hexagonal flower pot, which was just perfect. First, I removed the plastic spikes from the lamps, since I wasn't going to stick the lights in the ground. I was left with the lights on the silver metal poles. I used some strong double-sided tape to attach each light into every corner of the flower pot. Finally, I filled the pot with two large bags of marbles (the little glass balls that kids play with) just to add some extra weight to the pot and to add a bit of decoration. And voila: a little bit of magic on my window sill :-)
The second solar light on the right is actually a part of another flower pot. At the bottom, there is a bowl in which I have planted three little common houseleeks (Sempervivum tectorum), which I have grown myself from a big mother plant. In the middle there is a little plate, meant as a bird feeder, but I have used it as a decorative shelf and placed three large snail shells on it. At the top, there is the little solar lamp.
So, even if you don't have a garden and you have no way of attaching the lights to a sunny spot on your balcony or window sill, this is a simple solution for the problem :-)

They broke my trim while installing the window. Given that I had waited an additional month past the original install date due to their mess-ups ... I was pretty insistent that they go down to Home Depot, buy replacement trim, and install it at no cost to me right that second. They sent a higher-level guy over -- he actually arrived within 2 minutes of me calling (!). I ultimately got my way. Even if, in theory, they weren't the ones to break it....The least they can do for keeping our living room in disarray for a whole month is to actually make the final product look right. After all the trouble we've had with contractors during EVERY possible home renovation, it's increasingly hard to get me to take no for an answer, and I've increasingly come to understand why "bitchy customers" are the way they are. Asking nice doesn't work.
The replacement trim wasn't an exact match, but nobody's checking that. I'm quite happy with the results, especially after Carolyn painted it.
Look outside the window. See the solar light sitting in the bricks? LIFE TETRIS.

BACKSTORY: So our homeowners insurance (Farmers) got dropped due to having peeling paint on our window sills (among other things). Weak. It was a LOT of work AND money for us to repaint all our sills. Wood windows SUCK!! Modern vinyl windows are MAINTANENCE-FREE!! Wood windows... You gotta re-glaze the panes when they fall out, and then the wood itself is always going to slowly rot away. We already had our cats knock a pane out, so we already had glazing compound for pane repairs. This came in handy when we painted our various window sills, as some also needed glazing compound.
So the largest window in our house -- actually 3 windows -- was a major pain, and one of the few single-pane windows in the house. It would leak heat/cold in the summer/winter, and looked really bad compared to the new siding we had installed 6 or so years ago. So we decided to go ahead and replace just this window (actually 3 separate windows). Man was it expensive! $2,350! Thompson Creek had the best pitch and data, whereas Home Depot required $30 up front for an appointment they never showed up for and a list of 4 phone numbers to escalate (all 4 failed). So we had Thompson Creek do it of course! They did it, said they did it wrong, made us wait a month while making a new window (pro: they are all custom-made just for you; con: they are all custom-made, so a screw-up requires waiting for a new one to be made), then installed the new window, and finally everything was good and we were satisfied.
It was just kind of a pain because it cost so much money and had our living room in disarray for so many months, and the whole insurance basis for the situation was pretty bullshitty in the first place. We're not going to make a property damage claim due to moisture that occurs because our paint was peeling! Ridiculous...
Saturday, 4 April 2015: Chhule (3350 m) to Mu Gompa (3700 m)
A magic day, a high point in several senses.
Leaving Anthony and Val in Chhule (छुले) repairing and checking LED solar lights distributed 10 years or so ago (most still going strong… and much valued), Hazel and I headed up the Tsum Valley with Tsering and Krishna, following the Sardi Khola / Syar Khola / Tsum Chu river as usual - running more glacially as we got further into the mountains and closer to the southern edge of the Tibetan plateau.
Beautiful weather, lots more mani walls and chortens (and patches of old snow) on the approach to Mu Gompa, with a steep, slippery climb at the end.
Tsering set up our tents on the highest paved terrace, with stunning views back down the valley - the Ganesh Himal to the east, the Sringi Himal to the west. Across the valley - the river now far below us - a high yak kharka leading up to (hidden) Longnang glacier and the Phuchun Khola, and the peaks of Taya Himal and Pashuwo. A Himalayan Griffon (Gyps himalayensis) gliding high above the stone roof of the gompa. Helipad - incongruous - below.
Hot lemon and kit kats for elevenses-with-that-view on the terrace segued into lunch in one of the lower sets of terraced rooms. Hardly a soul about - everyone’s gone to KTM to see the visiting Rinproche. We had the caretaker and yak herders seeking shelter for company.
Come the afternoon though, the weather changed, and our afternoon stroll up to Dhephu Doma - the ancient Ani Gompa at 4000 m - featured snow... the one thing I’d (sort of) assured Hazel we wouldn’t have!
By dinner time our tents had been transformed into iced bombes, necessitating a night of tent bashing from inside and out to dislodge the snow….
A super, silent night - my first time camping in snow. Magic.

well i'd like to say we sold dozens of beach pebble lighthouses and made thousands of dollars at the manhattan beach hometown fair this last weekend but i wouldn't be telling the truth!....we did ok though and got a LOT of positive feedback and met a LOT of really great people as well as seeing some old friends...we don't give up easy and will be back with new designs and ideas at the next fair!
