-Walked
for an hour and five minutes down along Short Beach
& out, around the point- almost to the light house
Hurricane Floyd certainly stirred up a lotta gunk
in the water
& that's still here.
I saw a couple seagulls fight over something as the
tide was going out-
(turned out to be the bait on a fisherman's hook)
One of the gulls got the hook, but not the bait.
I tried to help the fisherman catch the bird to get
the hook out-
the guy finally gave up & cut the fishing line pretty
close to the beak.
-I saw a bunch of Cormorants bashing their wings up
and down
against the surface of the water (Long Island Sound)
I think my laughter encouraged them.
-But then, after I rounded the point
there was a green surgical glove
half full of sand
lying there
battered by the breeze
(Reminder of somebody's illegal dumping of medical
waste again?)
-On the way back I saw a young woman with her (prohibited)
pug, out for a walk
& the pug was dashing in circles, chasing the waves
and
trying to bite them and
having a great time.
-So I said, "Somebody likes the beach."
-And the woman said, "It's his first time-"
-And as he ran to me she tried to warn me, "Sometimes
he bites-"
But then she blushed as he licked me while I scratched
his chest.
(Should I have told her that even nasty dogs usually
like me?
Poor woman might think her dog just flunked 'Watch-Dog.101')
-And then, at the nearest Dunkin donuts stop,
Some aging High School Football Hero type,
with a Southern Accent he was trying to hide,
talked up a minor storm.
(I nodded my head and smiled and wondered if his father
or grandfather would have tried to kill me in the
sixties
for wearing my hair too long.)
-Every once in a while he looked just a little more
scared than lonely.
-I tried to be as warm as his cousins or uncles would
have been
to anybody he brought home for a week long college
break or something.
-Hope he went away thinking us 'Northerners ain't
all bad-'
Guess maybe all storms settle down after a while-

I've been busy
I haven't checked back here in too long.
They deleted my old Message Board.
I lost the awful non poem
legacy to a lost niece.
But
here we are, living in the future...
The
first day of this last year of the millennium
dawned in a fog.
After sunset the fog was either still with us
or back again.
I
thought the moist nebulosity was an appropriate comment
on the state of the human race.
But
it almost reached sixty degrees today
(That's Fahrenheit for those of you who might be reading
this
in some hypothetical future or other.
Sixty Celsius would have really made headlines.)
And
tonight it's raining.
Sounds like it could have been a foot of snow
if the temperature'd dropped ten degrees.
And
I'm so tired from hassling with computers
Even a major meltdown would have felt like
anticlimax
not even worthy of a moderate sigh.

You
won't get any prizes you can hang on to.
(Unless
you can hang on to appreciative words now and then.)
This
Message Board will skip lines.
But
it won't indent to save it's on life.

tabs in)

Web Site Changes ==--
We're
moving the web site from Angelfire to Crosswinds.
We'll probably leave the site up at Anglefire and
maybe
change a few links so visitors to the old site
will find themselves at the new site.
You may need to hit your 'Back' button to return to
wherever
you were before you read this.
New Site's URL: [

.........Thank You

THE
JOKE
"As
a joke
we told the Earthlings,
'God said
Sex is Bad!'
...They
believed us!
(they've kept half the universe
laughing ourselves senseless
ever since.)

(Logo/Buttons)
As
mentioned with the requested link-back
the 'button' (that sort of looks like a jewel with
'Aerendel' written on it?")
is from "Cool Archive do Com" (singular)
in order to get one with a 'Clear' background
it has to be in GIF format
They want you to use one of their fonts and bring
the button away
ready made from their site.
I chose a font color as close to the color of the
button as possible
and chose a period as my text, (".") (without the
quotes)
and then downloaded the button, opened PhotDeluxe
(that came free with my printer)
Chose my favorite font (Swordsman BoldItalic in this
case)
and font colour... and wrote out 'Aerendel'
...and then had to carefully draw an outline around
the actual 'thing'
(shape?) which contains the illusion of a jewel or
a space ship or whatever you see there.
....and then had to delete the background
....and then had to "send" the "photo" "to disk"
in "GIF" format.
And finally we have our logo/button without a background
that looks
awful. <>This may be extremely elementary to some
of you,
But to those who are struggling to find their wings
on the web
Have a Web Tip...

(Lucas
Land - From An Extremely Vivid Dream)
I
dreamed I was in a Theme Park
And I'd been there before.
And, At least in this part of this park
Most of the buildings and the costumes the actors/employees
wore
were Medieval, a kind of year round Renaissance Faire
and
At various times of day they had special quests that
visitors could
participate in
For instance.
Around noon several Gargoyle statues came to life
And sprayed various (random) guests on the hand with
(washable) gold paint
The town Elders would be notified and there would
be an emergency meeting
and the Quest for several artifacts would be underway.
There was a Dragon Fang dagger (Plastic) (one long
fang-like blade with two shorter fang like 'teeth'
up near the handle part)
And there wre other artifacts (Like a Crystal ball
and a Tarot-Like card of a Queen)
And all the guests who found these cards would be
part of the climax where the guests who were 'touched'
by the Gargoyles were 'cleansed' of the 'curse'
and the Gaygoyles which had come to life were turned
back into stone.
There were also underground caves for different quests
And good dragon versus bad dragon quests
and certain times of the year when
'Expert Level Questing' took place.
Trolley like cars shuttled guests between various
parts of the theme park
and, food cars on the same line served fast food or
limited menu meals.
(In this dream I was looking for a certain menu car
and watched several of the food cars pack up and leave
(out of food?) I was disappointed.)
This time I found the Dragon Fang Dagger (In more
or less plain sight in one of the dining cars.)
I remembered being with a group that had found the
Queen's Card in a cell in the dungeon in the castle
that was part of this set.
And a family came up out of the caves with a youngster
who had decided he didn't want to brave the goblins,
but one of the 'Elders' gave the boy
a 'Magic Globe' that glowed and played music and scared
all the goblins away. He went back into the caves
and scared goblins all afternoon.

December
21, 2012
is
the date, according to the Aztec Calendar,
when all of Earth's Biorhythms Zero Out.
Latest News from the fringes indicate that
all life on Earth will make the jump
to a higher dimension.
Apparently, many of Earth's
current 'leaders' rather like things the way they
are
and are consciously trying to keep us from making
this jump.
They have allied with aliens (the greys)
who can't make the jump with us
because they have cut themselves off
from their emotional (Astral?) bodies.
(Their abductions of and experimentations with
humans ((supposedly okayed by our 'leaders'))
are an attempt to clone a hybrid race
with emotional bodies
so they can continue as a race.)
(Of course, I have no way of verifying this...)
The Biggest Problem here is:
Either we all make this jump or that's it:
No more life on Earth.
Luckily, we've got more friends than enemies.
Um, I'll keep ya posted. .........

I am ready to make the jump...off the top of my building!
I have had enough.
I am one of the greys...lots of grey on the head,
beard, even pubic hair.
I am out of step. I have lived too much life. I am
not politically correct,
and in the times in which we live, political correctness
is a must--but I refuse to buy into it.
So I had better take my greying body up to the roof
and take a leap. I will go out singing
"Suicide is Painless," as my grey body M*A*S*Hes onto
the grey sidewalk.
Oh, shit! The only access to the roof is through the
upstairs neighbor's apartment,
and they are out of town. Looks like I will be around
for a while longer.

rjb,
Your
reply has been sitting here for nearly two months
and I didn't even notice.
I thought nobody had the guts to post anything.
Sure am glad I was wrong.
........Jim
oh,
{P.S.} and variations on the date the Earth's biorhythms
zero out include 12-12-2023 and 12-23-2012.

Joy? ==---
So
a psychic gave me a massage the other day...
She said I haven't been allowing myself any joy lately,
Rather than blame the entire material universe for
discouraging joy in any form-
I'll admit it. She's right.
