"Once acts of violence
Start to worry warriors
They might be persuaded
To abandon arms"

"My baby want a Birkin, she's been tellin' me all night long
Gasoline and groceries, the list goes on and on
This 9 to 5 ain't workin', why the hell do I work so hard?
I can't worry 'bout my problems, I can't take 'em when I'm gone, uh
One, here comes the two to the three to the four
Tell 'em bring another out, we need plenty more
Two steppin' on the table, she don't need a dancefloor
Oh my, good Lord
Someone pour me up a double shot of whiskey
They know me and Jack Daniels got a history
There's a party downtown near Fifth Street
Everybody at the bar gettin' tipsy
Everybody at the bar gettin' tipsy
Everybody at the bar gettin' tipsy"

Why worry?
There should be laughter after pain,
There should be sunshine after rain,
These things have always been the same.
So why worry now?

After some rich colour I am back to my favourite black and whites for some much needed serenity.
It’s been a strange week. I read about some incredible initiatives for protecting and conserving elephants earlier in the week but then I read about the Dallas Safari Club. Don’t know if you guys know this but they were auctioning off an actual ‘hunt’ of an African bull elephant to raise money for conservation purposes. I can’t even get through that sentence without making my blood boil. Not only is the idea of hunting critically endangered ideas for sport baffling, the fact that it is done in the name of conservation is just sad.
Trophy hunting is not new to people of such elite and entitled clubs. The club’s CEO in fact said there are some parts of Africa which are ‘over populated’ with elephants and their efforts would in fact benefit ‘such’ areas. And this is a long standing tradition, last year they auctioned a hunt for a black rhino in Namibia for a whopping $350,000 and even made it clear than if the government doesn’t allow them to bring the carcass back to the USA, they would not donate the money for conservation! What does this tell us? Their claims of working for conservation is nothing but a farce and these poor animals are worth more dead than alive, adorning some rich hunters’ wall while he regales his guests with tales of his hunt.
Due to intense public pressure the elephant hunt has been called off for the time being. But there are other similar trophy hunting clubs out there. And we have an obligation to stop them where we can. These are worrying times for our rhinos and elephants and there is absolutely no place for trophy hunting, irrespective of how much money misguided hunters are ready to pay for their adventures in the wild.
so many worries

so many worries-democracy, climate change, viruses including covid 19, economy, woman's rights, voting rights, all people's rights, war in ukraine, and the list goes on and on.
So I have a lot of anxieties. Sometimes it gets so overwhelming nothing makes sense. I'm in my thirties now and you know, you'd think anxiety only lasts during your teenage years but sometimes it never goes away. I've been anxious about my career, my future, my love life, my body image, my social image, gosh, you name it. I can only assume some of you may feel anxious about something or other and I can also only assume your coping mechanisms.
One day as I was exploring every nook and cranny of New York City I stumbled upon a New Age shop (I love New Age shops) called Stick Stone and Bone. They had amazing precious stones, and petrified rocks, and incense, and tarots cards, you name it. But what I remember specifically were these little stick figure-like dolls wrapped in a colorful fabric called 'Worry-Dolls'. The story goes, that in Ancient Mayan civilization (or modern Guatemala), they were given to children so they could confide their worries. One doll for each worry. After, the children would place the dolls under their pillows and then sleep through the night. When they woke, the dolls would have worked their magic and the children's worries went away! I was instantly enchanted! I had goosebumps and even felt calmer after learning that and holding one of the dolls in my hand. A lot of people don't have access to therapy or anti-depressants, or maybe they don't have a close friend circle they can confide in every time they encounter a life hurdle. Sometimes, something really simple, like a fabric and stick doll can make all the difference. Sometimes all you need is something small to believe in but in fact, you're really learning to believe in yourself and invest in your own power. I'm all about that.

Sadly Sheepy is a bit too old & tatty to give to the charity shop. He was destined for the skip until the dogs got hold of him. What worried me the most was that Martin actually said "don't let them play with that sheep it might encourage them to chase the real things" yeah right, like the dogs know it's a sheep! He's minus his stuffing now so the fun is over. HWW & Happy Sheep Sunday www.flickr.com/groups/1850980@N24/
HAPPY WINDOW WEDNESDAY(S) !
Well, only a bit of the actual window shows (upper left). However, the shutter and the androgynous little metal shutter keeper are certainly window stuff.
I think this is interesting on a composition level, but as per the caption, I am worried about the wires. It seems it wouldn't take much to create electrical trouble.
What if the wire insulation deteriorates more and some snow or wet debris connects the shutter keeper to both window wires? I wonder if I am beginning to sound like the world's most famous worrier about little things, Woody Allen.

18 august 2006
this entry is late...mostly because it's taken me a few days to get over the events of this past tuesday's training class.
as some of you already know, matea has fear issues with other dogs, stemming from 4 months of bad experiences at dog parks when she was 8-10 mos of age. add to that her breed - GWPs are bred for "sharpness", meaning if they perceive a threat they're going in, and matea is definitely the quintessential GWP - plus she's a female, and a wannabe alpha...even though with her own pack of at least five other dogs, she's a big pushover.
in class, cheryl - my new hero in dog training and behavior - sometimes has exercises in controlled chaos...dogs retrieving across each other's paths, toys flying everywhere, excitement amped up...all to create dogs who are more interested in working with/for their handler than be distracted by other dogs.
for matea, such exercises are brilliant as it boosts her confidence, showing her that she can work around other dogs and focus on the task at hand without perceiving a threat from every dog she encounters. and she's doing wonderfully. we'd not had a single incident with matea in almost 4 mos of classes, even if another dog accidentally bumps into her or gets into her face.
...until this past tuesday.
taz (an older jack russell...ironically sold to cheryl by another friend of mine who breeds JRTs and has a wirehaired pointer as well!) was in class. during a controlled-chaos exercise, matea was heading out - full steam - to retrieve her tennis ball for me...dogs everywhere, and go figure the ball should roll under taz, the JRT.
taz spun, facing off with matea, and matea had her head down, totally wanting to back away. this was my interpretation of her reaction, and it was confirmed by cheryl after class when we reviewed the event.
matea was actually making the decision to forget the ball, and more importantly, forget the JRT, deciding neither was worth it. if i'd called her back, i truly believe she would have come. but since cheryl's goal is to build this dog's confidence, i stuck to the task at hand: "fetch...fetch." then, apparently, taz made the first challenge/snap. at that point the GWP sharpness kicked in and matea was on her. you've never heard such screaming...cheryl assured me later that taz had been through WAY worse during flyball events, and that her reaction tends to be extreme screaming at just about anything.
with the screaming, the GWP prey-drive kicked in...probably 10 times that of any normal dog. being 50-feet away, i wasn't in the fray until it was over 5 seconds later. 5 seconds that felt like a bloody lifetime. matea was not giving up. BUT let me assure you there was no blood, no injuries, which i suppose i should derive confidence from, in that my dog does have bite inhibition.
i DO believe that had i been right there, the incident would have stopped before it began. however, i wasn't. and fortunately cheryl WAS. AND fortunately taz is one of cheryl's dogs (owned by a niece, i believe). AND fortunately, cheryl is cesar millan in a woman's form. she was calm and assertive, snatching matea's beard and twisting, then holding her by her lips for a good 4 seconds before switching to her happy-voice and saying: "okay! let's go play!"
for the next ten minutes cheryl had me send matea for retrieves with taz right there (held by cheryl), and in fact, growling at matea....a rottie was lunging at the other side of matea (a friendly rottie, but matea doesn't seem capable of discerning the difference), and other dogs at the receiving end. you could literally see matea work through her fears, her body cringing as she came close to the other dogs, yet following through with the task at hand with coaching from me. but it was clear that matea does NOT want confrontation...she was giving the growling JRT a wide berth after that, and not because she'd been reprimanded for fighting. there was really no reprimand.
still, seeing 68 lbs of solid muscle on a little 15 lb JRT is truly frightening. growing up i witnessed the swift death of a pug at the jaws of our one german shepherd...and i saw many fights between our shepherds. any kind of dog fight or scuffle has a major effect on me, even on tv, and i'm working to overcome that.
after class, with her arm around my shoulders, cheryl pointed to matea, lying 20' away on her own in a down even as the JRT was being led past her.... "that is not a bad dog," cheryl said. "if that was a bad dog, i'd be going home and digging a hole tonight."
Toronto Police Mounted Unit officer Kris McCarthy and police mount Bobby with the Peter Witt streetcar. Last week.
The back story to this image is sort of amusing I guess. After weeks of preparation, finding a vintage uniform to fit the officer (Men were tinier back then) working with the TTC to get a permit and then them having to bring a retired operator out for the afternoon to drive it out of the shed, I'm presuming hours of polishing the streetcar, and me mucking about to get insurance certificates etc, we arrived a little early for the shoot, pulling up in the trailer with threatening clouds looming overhead, jumped out and just started shooting as fast as we could. Sure enough, after only ten minutes the skies opened and a torrential downpour just soaked us all to the skin. Kept shooting for about another minute but started to worry about water damage to the equipment, not to mention the vintage woolen uniform, and we hightailed it out of there.
For anyone who has been missing the drone photos ...
Don't worry ... I got your back. ;-)
Lots more to come, I shot a bunch of images over the past 3 weeks that I'm only now processing.
And West Michigan is still mostly green so I will be shooting more going forward!
These are all shot with a Phantom 4 Pro UAV in the vicinity of Mancelona or Gaylord.
(I admit I "punched up" the colors on this shot, it didn't actually look like this to the naked eye, I wanted to give it an abstract / over the top feel ...)
