It's going "to" present
-a careful, gentle whispering...
Madness I can handle.

"Oh please,
gentle me firmly,
'till I laugh or bite you."

Today we are experiencing autumn in California. The season came up suddenly. One day it was 95, the next it was 54.

Here is a view of California's autumn by artist Eva Szorc.

I stumbled upon the image through a Google search of "California Autumn". It seemed the most fitting of the images presented.

Beautiful paintings
come out of the perceptions
of beautiful souls.

Today I resemble my other brother Daryl,
he's a packing peanut too.

You're certain that you're a packing peanut and not a packing cashew?

Sometimes you feel like a nut...and proud of it.

nutty goodness.

...and good nuttiness

I am the nuttiest boring eccentric you will ever meet.

Thy fleeting
provides all the wind
that drives me.

"I break wind in your general direction."

you break wind
in all directions,
it don't smell.

That is why I don't even bother to say," excuse me."

As well you shouldn't:
"No harm, no foul", as some say.
I love your farting.

It has many tones pitches...and even rhythm if I concentrate.

But can you produce the scent of apricot parfait?

I know your only asking, darling, your not tasking me.


XXXX OOOO

Your answers,
if unforthcoming,
still please me.

I need to kiss you all along your arm, Mortisha...you spoke French.

this is our friend Tophat's post #19400 in the word association thread, which I find fun, but I want this thread to win the "longest" competition, so I'm not posting in that thread anymore ...so here's my reply:

What did Tennessee?

...why, I don't know. Perhaps it was a bunny.

No... but it was the same thing Arkansas.

...well then, what was it?

They saw Mississippi.

What did Delaware, ottopilot?

A New Jersey.

BadNick, please tel Dela I thought that was a smart idea. It's been getting a bit chilly lately.

Dear Dela,

btw,
you'll never guess who I saw posting in the word association thread, our deadly competitor:

I haven't posted in Word Association for some time now,
mostly because I find the ABC one more fun to play.


Sorry to change the subject so radically,
but I am so pleased that I remembered the name of a childrens book I read many years ago.

Below The Root - by Zilpha Keatley Snyder

Our small library has a copy available and I am looking forward to reading it tonight.

true sailing is dead...

arrrr!

Someone once sent this to me for assistance with pirate communications.

Longest Wave On The Planet
Love to surf? Then you have to visit Brazil to surf the longest wave on the planet Earth called Pororoca. Between February and March Atlantic ocean tides generate waves up to 12 feet high which can last for over half an hour. Pororoca in indigenous Tupi language means \"great destructive noise\" and it destroys everything in its path with the speed of 10 to 15 miles (16 to 24 km) per hour.

" "Sister, I'm sure glad I didn't try your temper," Billy said, attempting to joke.
"Where's the good in you, Billy?" Sister Blandina asked. "I seemed to see it once. I wish I could see it now."
Billy just shook his head. He didn't expect to answer the question, and in a moment, Sister Blandina turned, tears on her cheeks, and left."

BadNick,
I need some trees like that in my life.

gg, please go visit a beautiful arboretum and report back.

I'm not sure where 805 is, but this is UC Davis Arboretum...are you near there?:

Bounteous being
will never reconsider
nor does it have to

The trees are at full color here in wisconsin.

I wish I could spray them all with some sort of fixative,
to enjoy the Fall show a little longer.

I am fortunate to have a beautiful view of a small forest,
where I sit and paint and daydream....

I can daydream for the LONGEST whiles,
but i feel it is never a waste of time.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeee.wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

If in this instant
I could still pretend unfair:
I ain't got any.
