G1 thanks for the Sarah Lee I enjoyed that. I recently found my Sarah Lee Cd I thought I'd lost, maybe Abe's will turn up next?

Well what to share tonight, it's getting close to tomorrow so how do I want to leave today? I have been in a bit of a Madchester mood recently, but tomorrow should be free to be, and that in-between is just another world...

but then you will have to examine your approach, period.

this is just the tip of the iceberg!


Agnes, go for it...

Me and Arlo did a little long term guerrilla gardening a few years ago, I half heard/read somewhere that English Oak trees are protected and couldn't be chopped down. that autumn we collected a load of Acorns when when
planting.


go for it? it is not about me!

and if you think i am talking about deer only, or predominantly, i am not. i am talking about birds and squirrels and such, who before fairly recently seemed to have enough to go around, and we humans had plenty to share with our neighbors from our gardens, but now the animals have been forced into the only refuges they can find.


i want to be clear

the garden had always been shared and enough to go around.

but now “the landscape” has been cemented over, displacing lots of animals.

so there i was riding down the road, and decide to change the radio station and then hear someone telling me that bob dylan had been awarded the nobel prize in literature and at the very same moment, going in the opposite direction was someone driving a vintage automobile while (at least it is what it looked like) while also playing the guitar(?), (you could see the guitar arm sticking partially out the window and see him singing)

surreal?

i am going to guess he was going for effect, in which case

well done!

sometimes you just want to understand what is in a friend’s psyche

as you want to be understood as well
