I don't know the time anymore (because my watch batteries' energy ran out).

Additionally: I have no tiny screwdrivers.

hardly sharing anything,
my appetite's yours.

Tales of the country... episode one:

Twas a dark, dark night, when I pulled over to the side of the road, to re-adjust the spotlights on the bullbar of the truck. Hitting that big 'roo had caused them to point downwards, and become ineffective..

I was windy. Very windy. As I climbed down from the cab, I shivered a little. Was I cold? I only had shorts and a light shirt on, other than my boots, and it was probably nearly 30 degrees C, so I didn't think so.

I stepped to the front of the truck, to inspected the bar for damage, shining the torch underneath to check for any remmnants of the unfortunate animal. I adjust the lights to my satisfaction.

I need to drain the main vein, so I step slightly to the side, out of the brightness of the lights, and unzip... Crikey it's windy! Dust is swirling around the truck and it's trailers.

I start to head along the side of the truck, to do a load and tyre check.... Out of the corner of my eye, I see a flash of movement... WTF?

The hairs on the back of my neck stand up. The goosebumps flush all over me..

Maybe I'll check the tyres later... I spin around and slowly race back to the drivers side door.

Back up into the cab, where I slam the door and stomp the gas.... Back up though the 15 speed, and the heart is settling back down, and all is good...

The clock on the dash says 3.30 am, and I still have 7 hours to go.



(this is a true story...)

True story
left me wondering
what happened.

...what happened?

sounds like Dennis Weaver was in this story

I can't relate (no relation).

Thanks for the recount, Zooks. It helps the days gel.

Son served Jello shots
at the fire Saturday night
but it was still fun.

(2x3)+2+0=8

Tell starbuck I say hey.

Jet, Nick's post was in reference to the film, 'Duel.'

Zooks..what happened next?

His recent mysterious,
outrageously emo & touching,
rumination's on facebook...

(I will, darlin')

On my facebook profile info under "religious views" I show: wholly

So far under "favorite quotations" I only have one: "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!"

GODDAMNSIT, BadNick,
in that we can see our hearts
& love us truly.

(2-3)+2+1=2

my fb bio: June 30, 1949 was a warm day in Braunau, Austria....>>>>and here we are today.

I plan to add to it as needed.

We'd be better friends
with additional input:
It's not never true.

& then Zooksport2,
in completing the circle,
could tell us the rest.

(2+3-2)+1=4

I searched fb to "friend" you, in case we needed to do that, but all I got was something about a sandwich, 3 foods never to eat, and some TFP stuff. The sandwich was a triple decker! ...or a quadruple decker, depending on if you count the bread slices or the stuff between

It's our crazy modern world
so flying right up in our faces
it's ugly to think about.

...but I think it's beautiful.

There is no more to that story, as such. I stopped at daybreak and did my check, and carried on home. Don't know what I saw. Most likely my imagination.. It was just a really wierd, spooky, windy night. Gave me the creeps, never experienced before, or since.

I'll add another adventure soon, about a wedge tailed eagle I caught.

I await your raptor rapture! ...probably a better adventure than if it caught you

Hmmmm....I'm confused...nothing new though.

Welcome to TFP, G~man.

Nice avatar.

Why Thank you....

OK, let's dance.

Hi G~man. I think I recall another one...wasn't James Cagney a G-man?

Easing in gently
can't imagine a tough guy
like Nancy Reagan.

(this is what I feel like, stemming from yesterday, to the brutal day I had just now)

A neighbor just said
that I'm only a low-life:
I'll think about that.

Just kidding;
I have a handle,
internal.

I'm starting to really draw my own ire for continuing, in vain here, to inspire hope, creativity and applause.


How does the new year shape up for you? It's days away now.

I'm getting my shofar ready! September starts the real New Year - Auburn Reporter

I had no idea. There's that coincidence monster of mine again (or it could be my hunger).
Excellent follow-up link BadNick. Commendations! (is a shofar a hat of sorts?)

And, after 3-4 months of putting it on the shelf, I think I'm going to work out and tinker again with my idea to have a uniform calendar consisting of 27 days and 12 months, yet I'm still tinkering with notion of +3 hours, plus dusk / dawn settings, as well as whether a leap year comes every 3 years, or every 30.

It's arduous work, trying to change the world turns.

:thumbsup:

you might try harder
to notice your relatives
or think about it.

this is for fun, boy,
expecting applause for angst
isn't creative.

i hope your said ire
gives you much more cause for pause
than you're letting on.

:love:

It might look sort of cool if worn as a hat, but it's intended to be a horn blown during some religious ceremonies (I know Jewish, not sure about others); the most common are made from a ram horn, here's one made from a Greater Kudu horn:

I'm gonna get one of these to support these fine folk craftspeople

Almost could believe
a city's walls tumble down
under that assault.

if not just the walls, I bet this could bring down all of humanity

Knowing what they want
can only insulate you
from providing it.

Loving who we are
has other connotations,
less unconstructive.

...well done on that number

tvtropes.org is my new wikipedia.

I go there looking for one thing, and end up staying there for hours, because I followed that one semi-relevant link.

trivial fact:

so far, my journey has consisted of (back-tracking):

It may not seem like much, but I've been on this site since the sun was shining, and now, there's only 12 states in the Union that can still state they have daylight.

I beg to differ.
The planet keeps rotating.
That's why I'm dizzy.

Test.

Okay, the new avatar won't load..time to go bug the staff.

seems Pete admires
your visualizing
& the skinny man

I had fun using that avatar on FB for a few days.

Great movie. You must see, Waking Ned Devine.

what could this be?
