Palm Sunday

Today we celebrate a day almost 2,000 years ago
that a man road a donkey into the area's capital
city to become the King of Man.
We call it Palm Sunday because the people lining
the road threw palm fronds on the road to cushion
roadway and form a welcoming carpet.
All did not turn out as expected. All did not turn out
well........or did it?
Stories have been written, songs have been sung,
and wars have been fought.
Man was not ready then to accept a savior.
Man is not ready now to welcome the redeemer.

But, as it was then, so is it now.

The time has come when we will write new stories,
sing new songs and fight new wars.

Will it all turn out as we expect? Or will we
even survive...........angel

Coming and Going

I've been doing some thinking over the last few days. I've been thinking about some
of the people that have wandered into and out of my life over the years.
And I've been thinking about some of the ones who have entered my life and have
not had the good sense yet to depart.
Some of the ones who have moved on I sincerely miss and would love to have them
back in my life.
But, here's the rub; Almost eyerybody that I know has a different perception of
themselves, so the ones that I don't want, will think they are the ones that I want, and
the ones that I want to keep will get angry and think that I want them gone, and the ones
that really annoy me will think that everything is just peachy fine and want to spend
more time with me......
How the hell do you win?

Global warming

Well, there was a huge parade or gathering or
what ever you want to call it in DC today.

Nobody can deny that global warming is happening.

The issue is who is to blame. Is it human activity
caused or is it a natural phenomenon or a comb
of both.

I know that some people don't want to hear about,
or talk about this.......so go read a different blog.

Anyway, regardless of the cause or causes, this
is happening.

The tree huggers want us to save the trees. Well,
too late. 90% of the trees are gone. It'll take a
big effort, lots of $ and more than 25 years to put
a dent in replacing them.

People say stop polluting.....well, we can't. We
need steel, energy, refrigeration, and as the planet
warms, air conditioning.

With northern climes melting, untold hidden carbon
is now being released as well. That's stuff we never
factored in before.

The vegetarians want us to stop eating meat because
the animals cause too much pollution. Well that
doesn't help either. Man started eating meat because
the animals could eat the sparse grasses that we
couldn't process, but then we could eat them. That
issue still exists. And transporting salad fixins' to
those areas creates more pollution than it might
save.

It's all pretty grim and dire.

The problem is too many people wanting too much
from this little blue/green ball floating in space.

Oh, and I'm a lot like a whole bunch of other folks. By
that I mean, You will not take the food off of my plate,
nor will erode any further my ability to live my life as
I choose.

But I'm up for any constructive solution oriented input
that might be put forward.

Maya Prophesies

What we know of the Maya and their ancient
prophesies is quite interesting, and flawed.

Most of the original texts and knowledge were
'lost' to the Conquistadors and the Catholic
Church in their zeal for converts.

Almost all of their temples and cities were
destroyed to repurpose materials for new
buildings and various projects.

There is no Rosetta Stone to interpret the
existing writings and the Maya understandably
do not trust the Spanish.

The real Maya still exist. Their version of the
prophesies and the academically accepted
versions are like night and day. But the Maya
will not correct the record.

Most of the true ancients don't even speak
Spanish, which complicates matters even more.

I have been studying Maya legend, history and
their prophesies for about 11 years now.

The people now know and trust me.

I am starting to learn Traditional Maya, at their
insistence, so that more can be taught to me.

From all that I have learned so far, from all that
has been told to me, I'm not looking forward to
hearing the final details.

I am open to intelligent debate on this topic.

It's mid night in the Yucatan

Well I see that I am alone again.

It's just a couple of minutes past 12 here, and
everybody has gone away.

No banter.

No comments.

My dog has wandered off to his bed.

The new puppy is sleeping quietly in her box.

The stars are like pinpricks in a black velvet sky.

The moon has not come up yet.

It's blacker than a coal miner's face out side.

I finished all of my chores today.

Tomorrow is Saturday.......yay

But here, everyday runs into the next day.

As the sun comes up, the parrots will arrive to eat my
bananas and the shepherd will drive his flock up my
driveway to eat the new grasses. The local trades
people will peddle past my castle on their bicycles to
do their daily work. Life goes on.

I will have my coffee, feed critters, shower and think
about saving a world that doesn't know that it teeters
on the brink of disaster.

Another day in paradise.

Another puppy blog

Well, the new puppy is sleeping on a full tummy.

But that's not the end of this story.

It couldn't be, could it? Not when Vikings are around.

We are well renowned for being thorough.

I had to go back to where I found the pup to make sure
it was the only one.

Surprise, surprise.

I found 2 more!! One dead and one more living.

I looked down the road and saw one of my neighbors kids
out playing and waved to them to come see what I found.

The six year old grabbed up that puppy like it was Christmas
and the 12 year old very respectfully asked if they could
keep it.

I made them promise to treat it well and sent the 4 boys with
new puppy home to face the music.

They were whistling, laughing and dancing all the way out of
sight.

I think that I paid off another sin today......

My karma's starting to look pretty good

I've lost my mind (again)

On my way home from looking for work
in the city today, I stopped on the side of
the road for some reason.

I heard a small whimpering sound coming
from the tall grass. I looked. I found two
very young puppies. One was dead. The
other managed to climb into my shirt and
came home with me on the motorcycle.

It's eyes are just open and still blue. It was
able to lap up some milk, so I think it's about
3 weeks or so old. Now it's having a nap.

My old dog is not impressed. He's so used
to having me and the castle all to himself.

I'm TOO OLD to be a mother again. I need
a volunteer to come and look after us all.

Any takers?

Life in the 21st century

Ah.....ain't it grand.

Well, most of the time. The little conveniences that we
can no longer live without.

The daily distractions that we wish we could get away
from, that we were so eager to buy.

All of those so called labor saving devices that now take
up most of our day.

Yeah, ain't it great?

And then of course there is CS. The thread that stitches
together that curtain that we have drawn over reality so
that we can talk to each other without having to actually
be together.

Though, this CS marvel does come with a couple of small
annoyances. You know what I mean.

Once in a while, I will get somebody look at my profile, and
then block me so I can't see their profile. I feel that they
are doing me a favor. I don't have to waste my time to see
if they are worth my time, because they already showed me
that they are NOT.

And then there are the ones that send you a message asking
how they can contact you. That always gives me a giggle,
cause haven't they already contacted me when they ask?

Finally, I wish some folks would be a little more serious and
stop joking for a minute or two.

But maybe none of this matters anymore. It looks like WWIII
is around the corner, unless a meteor hits us before a super
volcano erupts or the aliens return to punish us for turning
this beautiful blue/green planet into a brown dust bowl.

Then again, El Salvidor may decide to save us all, but I'm not
in the mood........

It must be me....

Well, I've spent the best part of two years
on this site, and I am still alone.
I have spoken (written) to many people in
that time and nothing has clicked.
Conversations always seem to go off in a
strange direction, or more likely, just seem
to peter out very quickly and end for no
real reason.
So, I've come to the conclusion that it must
be my fault somehow.
Perhaps I am looking for too much, or I have
too high an expectation.....I don't know.
But I really can't figure out what other people
want out of this site.
I do enjoy the blogs, but that seems to be
drying up and some people are becoming
angry and too harsh.
Now, it's time to get cleaned up and ready to
go out for a lunch with my best Mexican
friends. They're dragging me out of the
castle for a little fiesta.....maybe there will be
cake?
Getting older has it's good points and it's bad.

Have a good day everybody, and maybe try
to be nice to each other for a while?

A FairyTale

A long long time ago, in a place far far away, the
Chieftain of a small isolated principality decided to
throw his lot in with all of his neighbors and they
joined a revolt against the King.
The revolt ended badly, but the Chieftain had shown
such valor that the King spared his life. He was to
be exiled to the colonies in the New World.
The Chieftain took his wife, his daughter, and his new
born son, as well as a handful of possessions, and
set sail for the colonies.
The New World was kind to them and they prospered
in the new land. Another daughter was born, a lovely
home was built and the Chieftain started to make a
great name for himself hunting, trapping and trading
with aboriginals.
As his reputation grew, the Crown became nervous
that the Chieftain might become a threat and hatched
a plan to remove him forever.
He was hanged after a short trial for having sheep on
his land that were not his own.
His son, only 6 years of age, became the man of the
family that day and went to work.
He went to work for the new electric company as a pole
monkey, climbing up the poles to set the new wires in
place.
He supported his family so that his sisters could attend
school and they could all eat. His sisters taught him his
letters and arithmetic at night by candle light.
The boy became a man and advanced through the new
electric company with a vengeance. No job was too hard
or too complicated for him.
Eventually he was given the responsibility to engineer the
newest power generating station.
Upon it's completion and the ensuing festivities and ball to
inaugurate the system, he was introduced to the Governor's
grand daughter.
They fell hopelessly in love.
With hat in hand, he went to the Governor's mansion and
asked for the grand daughter's hand in marriage.
The Governor was a very smart and honest man. He said
yes, but with only three conditions.
Upon providing a suitable residence, free and clear of debt,
the princely sum of $10,000 pounds on deposit, and a new
automobile in the driveway, he would have the Governor's
blessing, and the hand of his grand daughter, if she agreed.
The deal was struck and in only twelve years, all was as it
needed to be.
They were married in the church that her family had all been
baptized in for three generations.
He went on to become the Superintendent of the electrical
system.
They had one son and lived out the years bringing smiles
to each others' faces every day and all that saw them and
knew them were satisfied in the knowledge that there is
nothing that is impossible.
Many years later, illness caught up with him. He fought hard
to stay with his love, but he could not.
She joined him less than three weeks later.
After all that they had been through to be together, they would
not be separated by death.
They are together now.

Evening in the tropics

Well, it's about 10:30 at night and still 27 degrees
outside.

I've just finished watering all of my gardens in a 25 km
breeze, so I got soaking wet as well. Quite refreshing.

My old dog is smart enough to stay away from the hose,
which is good, because the aroma of wet dog is not
that pleasant.

The moon hasn't shown it's face yet, so out here in
the countryside it's as black as a coal mine with about
a trillion little silver pin pricks of stars shining from every
angle.

I don't know why, but it makes my rum and coke taste a
bit sweeter.

I'm not quite sure how I could improve on this.

Holiday Hot

Today is what I think of as holiday hot.

It would be so relaxing and soul fixing
to sit under a palm tree sipping a very
cold rum and coke with some fresh lime
floating in it while watching the young
ladies playing in the waves off the beach.

But it's just too damn hot for working.......
