Wandering Around
ByI thought I’d drop by for a visit while I’m waiting for my paint to dry. If you try to rush watercolors they’ll twist your twanky.
Livingston is singing its song today. Lots of wind. The tree limbs are whipping back and forth as though trying to unscrew themselves from the ground so they could go dancing in the breeze.
Some days always wear a smile.
Did you ever notice that crows won’t look you in the eye? Today male birds are dancing, hopping and tweeting –that’s their version of Joey’s “How you doing?”
Most dogs smile at you, and their face is always filled with expectation.
The mine pits in Butte are so deep that if you lean in far enough you can hear Chinese voices.
Even if you are a Republican do you really think corporations are people?
Are you aware that America now has more people in prisons than Joseph Stalin ever sent to Siberia and his deadly camps? We have more prisoners than soldiers, and it costs us $30,000 per year for each convict. We put more people in prison than China — and they have a billion more people. What the hell is going on?
Remember, under it all a diamond is just a rock.
Why is it that all the people fighting against abortions also fight against offering help to the resulting unwanted children?
Up here the nights are so quiet your ears think you went on ahead without them.
E.B.White said it: “We are being nibbled away by the mice of time.”
While I’m at it let me drop a few more of George Carlin’s thoughts on you:
“In the expression Topsy Turvy, what exactly is a turvy?”
“Do you ever open the dictionary right to the page you want? Doesn’t that feel good?”
“Do you know the good thing about all those executions in Texas–Fewer Texans!”
“Why do they say’raw sewage’? Do some people actually cook that stuff?”
“In Rome today the pope took off that little hat and revealed that he had a map of Tombstone, Arizona, tattooed on his head.”
“After the hurricane, where do people put all those sheets of plywood?”

I’ll see you later. My paint’s dry.
Brilliant, as always!
Great stuff love YOUR brain droppings! Don’t get blown away!
Crows and ravens won’t look you in the eye because they are figuring how to lift your watch and pick your pockets. Entertaining and crafty: better than politicians! Write forth, dear heart.
