Twisted...

...ways for generations

Your smoking heathen carries to and fro
Hear I dangle, struggle in this tangle
Your tons of iron rolls by, day after day
Are thooz eyes closed, can you not see
Can you not see thee

My thrashing, my squirming, my pulling
All my energy exhausted, I bleat out in pain
Writhed and wriled every inch of this dirt
You sit up there in your pretty white shirt

Agony, you bastards, what about your phone
Bet you called yer ole lady back home
Tried to jump on two from side to side
No water, no food, this heat, shade is none

There you go one more time
Energy is none, given up, I am done
Enjoy yer trip, hope hell suits you for your crime
I lay my head now, this barbed wire still...

Pesticides--Not organic then Question it

What's On My Food? :: How Much is Too Much? (((this is a link)))

This info stemmed from seemingly unconcious people and my own ignorance. People (including loved ones) still eating wendy's, burger king and foot long hotdogs served up in styrafoam boats, others filling gigantic cooler like glasses w/ fountain drinks smoking cigarettes only to travel 70 miles to get a re-fill and inhale more. What is so god damn difficult about making wholesome meals exclusively from ingredients without scientific names. Aim to control weeds, birds, rain, fires and now Bill Gates working to control hurricanes...go figure...so as an adult...one true thing we are in complete control of is---what goes in our mouth---if ya think it is too hard or takes much time or blah, blah, blah then have the guts to watch "factory farming" or "food,inc". If ya keep on doin what yer doin after that then...??? Everything in moderation i suppose! Like Bob says, "...people obviously don't care." Choose yer battles comes to mind also.

413 miles, ending a 2,045 mile...

...gruel !!! This Saint Bernard in Browning, MT could be a reminder----rest yer chin, it will be there----I remember telling Marina w/ some kind of authoratative tone prior to leaving, "I am gunna go just 250 miles/day and where ever that puts me then that is where i git fer t' day." Character flaw comes to mind, not just in me but in most, what is the "pushing on" thing about, we all do it w/ something---riding, carrying mulch, mowing, choppin firewood, deleting photos, one more paper graded etc, etc.. Some are simply more excessive than others. Time and money are probably the two biggest drivers, yet the concept of "avoiding pain to gain pleasure" comes up as well. Work in progress i reckon? Perhaps one of the keys is to recognize when you are not like this and apply it to other events/activities.
Member the Saint Bernard----rest yer chin, it will be there----

278 miles of raw 94-96 degree heat...

...leaves this guy tired. Made it to Malta, MT. What a scorcher!

Observed thus far i am absolutely the most under equipped motorcyclist out here, however i did see this poor cyclist w/ a backpack on and stuff hanging front and rear, a tear was shed for him...yet, if my ass could bleed purely from pain...my blue jeans would run red

315 milies & beatin w/ wind...

...this day. How many miles per hour duz the flag represent?
Took my 125cc's down to 75cc's.
But who cares when ya run down a farmers wheat field at the end of the day to a luxurious mosquito infested bed of grass like this...a room with a view!!!!
Figured out today (during a 3 hour pit stop) what happened 7 miles into my journey days back...my air mixture screw on the carbureator FELL OUT...1200 plus miles of fighting the idle at every stop, everywhere. Could not believe it but Bob the owner of Cycle Shack in Grand Forks, MN took a screw out of a brand new Mikuni and put it in my Keihin and it sorta worked and after a collaboration of 4 guys(((random quotes from these guys---"I am depressed today, I found out I became a great grand daddy." why does that depress ya, "Because I still have a 24 yr old mind."---"My old lady got kinda shit faced last nite so I was late to work for my original job, but its ok." ---"I just can't do anything right today, I gotta be careful...I am becoming my own worst enemy." ---"Ya know these guys do not like working with me." why is that, "Because I know what I am doing and they do not try to change what I know." ))) put it back together and she purred away, he let me go for $35 and said to send him a post card. Thank ya kindly! Good luck w/ yer special forces man out back....

Good morning Sunshine...

...what a change from last night. thanx fer the show!!!!

284 miles in full on sunshine, yum!

Watch out for crazy breads in Wisconsin but more important watch out for crazy redneck hunters w/ ready to fire broadhead equipped antennas....

400 miles & 5 of 12 hourz rainin..hard

Nearly dried off in 2 hourz of no rain, only to find more, so much more that the pelting rain cleaned the bugs from my visor, ouch. Motels were $55-60 so the hooch went up!!!!

First 267 miles...

This 21 year old rig iz gettin 90+ m.p.g. everytime, wow.
Look at thooz Pine needles who needs an air pad?

I need to get it done?

Can i go back now?!

Lily or Frog...

Lily pad floatin out the season
frog jumpin fer no real reason

Frog free to go there and here
lily anchored deep in muds smear
colours, both luminescent
lily flexes to all passers by
frog flees upon any approach

Frog barely accepts his own kind
lily lays open invitation, having no mind

If we were to...

...Not complain of the un-complainable
...Forgive the unforgivable
...Drink the first drink
...Help the helpless
...Balance the un-balanceable
...Eat what's needed to eat
...Move the im-moveable...your ass...

...could then, one of our parasites begin to wither

Tail was tucked...

not in, just down
Sun lays Life down hot neath his haunches
Deliberate in step. Next pad down
Slow. Slow. Is it really there, wait. Slow.

i missed yer gaze, my look was fixed
Grouse are second only to Hare, he launches

...tail untucked

Almost done?

Can i go now!

Gods were...

...talking.

the real ones

ones of touch, sound and sight...of this day

not some imaginary folk from anuthers story...of long ago

ones never touched, heard nor seen
embrace todays wrath
with yer own wits
Old Ones called it...
...Natures path

Where hav thawtz gone...

......az to taste morns, fresh squeezed Dew.
......az to scent Coyote, riding North waft.
......az to lay with Ponderosa, on her floor.
......az to stain of Berry and grunge like Dirt.
......az to sit with breath and Bird.
......az to run like Water, gasping for quench.

Lookin...???

for what...the next thing. Why? All these years wanting the right piece of land, running water, bordering forest, secluded, off grid and on and on then...
all the while working for the future, loosing my present,...the present. Time...the only one true thing equal to all living creatures, measured by sun up to sun up.

letting go...so now can be relished. startin over. believe i heard John Lenon said, Life is what happens while making plans. seems so, screw the plans.

There is a girl i saw. Second period she walked by in the hall, she did not notice me and probably never will. She is the most beautiful girl i have ever seen.
Wonder if she likes the woods or ocean and animals?
Wonder if she likes ice cream or chocolate? Does she like to kiss, i am sure she has kissed lots of boys. She might not like how i kiss, gosh i sure wood like to kiss her. i hope she looks at me one day. i wood really like her to see my smile. is her mom and dad nice? i hope they are nice to her, cuz she seems like a nice persun.
Tomorrow hurry, oh hurry and come. Maybe i can see her in the hall agin! Wonder what her favourite colour iz?
Good nyte for now, tomorrow hurry.
i heard someone say her name is Marina and she grew up in London. Wow she must be very smart. All the boys are talking about her.
Hurry up tomorrow. Hurry up i want to smile.

Drawn...

...Decisions frum where and when
Web tangled, strangled we dangle
Eonic connections soo diverse
Stone, Water, Fire and Air
Bed deepest, yond compair
Yet we pummel, dam, douse and louse

We always need more smiles

sureal in a strange way, out for a 32 degree morning paddle in Koocanusa waters.

osprey divin in to feed their families, Swallows swooping about fillin bellies full, Bald Eagle bein a watcher as they do and off in the distance a yellow dot.
curiosity changed my direction and there it was---smilin at me in pristine waters.
