    If I Were a Carpenter, Not Really a Lady

    Dick was having a bit of fun about female carpenters, so I thought I'd tell a bit of a vignette about that.

    If I were a carpenter

    Not really a lady

    Would you marry me anyway?

    Or call me crazy?

    Tulip Pedal 2011 - One Fun Ride

    This time of year in the PNW there are tons of cool cycling trips events.  They all raise money for something.  We've done many of the cycling events in Western Washington, but for some reason we had never done this particular ride.  This ride takes us through the tulip fields of Skagit Valley. The ride starts at the La Conner middle school. There were lots of riders there already, and tons of cars.

    LET. IT. GO.

    I Stayed

    By Linda Mutch  3/2/2011 [email protected]

     

    Not knowing what love is, I accepted the proposal.

    Not feeling desire, I accepted, I married.

    The picture was safe, not demanding, not loud. Predictable, quiet-all foreign.

    Nuclear legacy - then and now.

    The following photo essay was linked to on Huffington. It's the work Paul Fusco. Photos of the children - some abandoned - who were exposed or their parents exposed - to the radiation from Chernobyl. Caution, these are quite graphic.

    Will this also be the legacy of Fukushima  Nuclear Power Station ? It looks all too likely that it will.

    It's Frightening To Think That Your Life Is In Their Hands (to/from/for Scottie)

     

     

    The night is my shadow,

    and the shadow, my light.

    The coyotes and I roam these canyons and squares,

    our long, ragged coats sweep the streets

    as we wander.

    HYBRID RESUMES

    File:Quill (PSF).png

    Well the Wall Street Journal is giving us all tips on how best to prepare our resumes. I have boiled these directives down to these:

    1.       Omit unnecessary details concerning your personal life.

    2.       Omit references to your teen-age experiences as a life guard.

    3.       Never include photographs.

    Disaster Flick

    So I wrote this disaster flick.

    -Really? Why?

    Well, I had some things I wanted to say.

    -In a disaster flick? OK, tell me about it. What happens to what city?

    The setting is a small Japanese city.

    -Oh, a monster movie! I love it!

    No, no monsters. It starts with an earthquake ...

    - ... which releases the monsters. C'mon, you're messing with tradition here.

    Sorry, I don't want monsters.

    Happy Romance Day

    Can't let a night like this one go by without all the fanfare, so enjoy:

    They can never tear us apart!

    Some Romeo and JULIE!

    And, of course, alas...some Come What May...

    What can I say?  I'm a sucker for romance. 

    Much love to you all.

    Man on Fire

    I am happy for the people of Egypt, their commitment to change in the face of entrenched oppression is an example for us all. I’m also a bit jealous.

    Possibilities

    One of the areas I have the most trouble with when I construct a project for my radio interests is the physical layout of the larger components. The big variable capacitors and switches and coils and the like. I usually look at how others have done this and sometimes use this as a guide.  But I usually go with some current traditional method and am not always happy with the way it turns out. Oh it works OK but quite often it is larger than I want or not as elegant as I would like. This last time was no different.

    Bearing the price of dead children (Other people's kids of course...)

    The companion piece to Subcommandante Shaleen-both written simultaneously over one week in 2005.  David Seaton's  unlikely encomium to Pat Buchanan reminded me of Madeleine Albright's riposte when confronted with the figure half a million children dead from our sanctions...

    Begging a question

    We are seeing once aging what happens when the few elite at the top continue to repress and force those at the bottom to live lives of degradation and as virtual slaves. Their voices silenced. And how those at the top will go to any lengths to maintain this situation.

    I Think I'm In Love...

    I guess I'm a “shipper”. Before tonight, I didn't even know such a term existed. I needed clarification after being told that I, myself, am one. Apparently, I'm one of those who watches a television series hoping that the two main characters will evolve into a relationship. Sort of like a new age Dolly Levi. I watch House MD and can't wait for him to jump into bed with Cuddy after only, um, six seasons.
