He'll be riding in the trunk on the way back to Earth.....

The week started out rough---
but turned out to be pretty good---

I've written on this subject previously but---
There's been several articles on the Net this
week regarding Jeff Bezo's 
Long Now clock project--
The Long Now Clock is being built into a mountain
on a Texas ranch owned by Bezo's.
There has apparently been much construction activity 
at the site recently...
For reasons unknown, 
the concept of this clock,
and the fact that Bezo's is actually building it
fills me with hope--I have no clue as to why??
This type of clock i first discovered in a novel
by Neal Stephenson where monks maintained
a similar clock for humanity through the ages...
I enjoy the concept of leaving something
huge, technologically mysterious, behind---
something that is completely unconnected to our stupidity...
that will last through the ages and represent
us to those who have forgotten us...
A short, true story about a Yale student who
could not afford both tuition and board,
so he lived in a ventilation shaft on campus...!
Talk about working things out eh?

They are remaking and selling to the public,
the phone from the Matrix movies...
I'd love to have one of these...
but of course they will not sell them in the United States..?
We never get any of the world's cool shit, you know?
dreams of owning the matrix phone

I actually managed to construct a blog
for advertising my guitar playing and as a gig hunting 
reference...
This week I am working hard on writing content and
setting it up...
with the hope to find venues to make a bit of cash---?

Our neighbor's niece is visiting the US for three months.
 She is from New Zealand....
We were talking the other evening and
I think I found the best way to describe the
our current American Strangeness---
I told her we were have a 
National Nervous Breakdown...
because of Trump...
Later I was actually pretty proud of 
summing up our current condition in the 
fewest possible words or excuses?
I think I am going to hang with that description--?
Sort of sums us all up, right at the moment.
Finally,
 someone, in print, took on the fact that..
If you hear voices in your head you are crazy..
it used to be--
UNLESS:
It is God or Jesus???
Not anymore---
No--you are just fucking crazy....
It doesn't matter who they say they are...
Each time this year, the Winter stay-overs
at the South Pole have a 
THE THING
movie marathon...
How the fuck do they sleep afterward....?

Streaming on Netflix--
Very dark!
This was cool--
a detective story set in the future....

Hey -- Mom? Tell us about Hell again...

 
Busy this week--
Projects and People and Things....
and speak a bit on what's happened over 
this insane week....
It won't become a habit I promise---
The Republican fake news ploy is now over---
what with the 13 Federal, Russian, election indictments...
and without a doubt more indictments to come---
All these Trump camp Republicans are going to jail...
eventually...
if money laundering, stealing from the government or
accepting Soviet collusion to win the election
does not take them all down 
including
their Boss...
then----
paying off their girlfriends, with campaign funds.
so they keep quiet
  will....
If you listen to all the excuses...
apparently----
according to Trump's lawyer logic..
You can be paid 130,000 dollars for simply--- 
not having sex with our President...????
You can tell that Trump's afraid by his 
more idiotic, than usual, recent tweets...
only a matter of time dude---
coming for ya----
I am so proud of the Florida High School Students
who are calling out Trump and the Republican Party on 
all the media formats over their
"thoughts and prayers" 
response to the recent school shooting in that state!
These students may indeed be the generation that
will take no shit...from this type of bought politicians
and actually change something for once...
These kids give me hope for the future! 

It appears as if we now have a NEW
Space Defense Center...
super-secretive-space-defense-center-near-colorado-springs-begins-24-hour-operations
I guess my big question is 
Why would we have something like this---?
Go to all the trouble and expense....
Unless someone thinks we REALLY are going to need it....
Better to be ready for..well---whatever it is they're scared of...!!

well not guitar actually much this week---
 I started back in on Mandolin practice...
I've always seconded on mandolin 
in various bands i played in but
for sure wouldn't call myself a mandolin 
player....
I want to skill up on it so that the next time
I play a duo gig I can double on the 
mandolin...
This guy, i have no idea of who he is,
says the guitar is OVER...



I binged watched all of Twin Peaks
on Netflix.....
I loved the entire first year of the show 
but then....
it became extremely weird at the end of it's (2nd) last year..
to no one's surprise but mine i guess..?
But the first year---awesome!
