Day 12: The expedition turns whiny....

 I remain unable to come to transition with the change of season.

The darkness, cold and winter death of the gardens we worked so hard on.

I lack motivation and purpose.

I will say nothing of the world wide weirdness of the past week.
In today's world
insane acts create insane responses.
Politicians and talk radio
are spewing non-stop shit.
No need for me to add to it.

Nothing but scare tactics to influence their supporters,

into believing they are the only one who should be chosen to lead,

and that they alone can provide protection from the scary,scary world.

The state governor's who symbolically refused to accept Syrian refugee's 
out of fear of them committing violent acts--

Are ruling the states that any Refugee should be
 afraid of ?

Why of course this happened in Texas where else?

My Aunt Lizzy used to, as she called it
 "go to church by radio".

Going to church by listening to the radio was to her,
as good as showing up.
It didn't apparently matter that we were Catholic, 
and the the Preachers on these Radio Churches 
 were to her
other-worldly strange, foot washing,snake dancing--
 totally not Catholic.

She would sit dressed in an old housecoat
at a kitchenette table, drinking coffee out of a saucer, smoking, 
in a tiny east coast apartment kitchen in front of the radio on Sunday.
An hour spent listening to anyone against sin
counted as a get into heaven free card in her mind.
I can only hope that her version of the rules was right?

I transfer jazz off the net onto cassette tape.

I am creating Jazz recordings to
play on any one of my collection of old school boomboxes.

I realize this is a very peculiar hobby of mine--
when the majority of the world gets their music now
digitally off their phones...

One afternoon when i had my gear all set up 

and i was taping off my laptop,
a friend from work stopped by.
As he gave a passing look at all my equipment hooked up
to the laptop on the dining room table..

 All he said was:
"You're doing this wrong you know?"

The $19.00 Marina Militare copy watch sold by Amazon arrived..
It is of excellent quality, nicely heavy and well made.
 It keeps perfect time!
Pictured here with my new para-cord bracelet.
This particular bracelet contains within
a handcuff key, fire-starter, compass, P-99 can opener,
and wire saw.

I am very pleased with both equipment additions.

This has been an excellent streaming binge watching week.
From detectives who see the dead all around them 
in:

to:
Hitler watching newsreels from parallel universes

To the awesome film noir of
jessica jones

It will be tough trying to watch 1 star streaming zombie movies

 after this week....
