About Me

My photo
I'm an artist, educator, militant anti-theist , and I write. I gamble on just about anything. And I like beer...but I love my wife. This blog contains observations from a funny old man who gets pissed off every once in a while.

Has anyone tried getting hoarders addicted to meth so they sell all of their possessions for the next fix?


GET LEARNT

A hotel located 2,500 m above sea level, overlooking approximately 2,000 mountain peaks in six different countries. Appenzell, Switzerland

It concerns me that so many retired people spend their last days in a perpetual alcoholic stupor.

I'll be the first to admit that my driving skills have diminished drastically. I cope with that with lower speeds.

I'm convinced that many old people like being angry and will nose around each day until they find something to be pissed off about.

^^B7^^

The US gave Iran the Shah and his hated security thugs who brutalized the people. Then the Ayatollah took over and began to do the same things the hated Shah did.

^^B8^^

This is a Zoroastrian religious tradition. They do not bury or cremate their dead but leave them on a mountaintop or a high minaret called a “tower of silence”. It was an ancient Persian religion before Islam took over Iran.

Which essential oil is best for getting people to stop talking to me?

Imagine the terror of a deaf passenger watching the flight attendant yawn.


ON PHOTOGRAPHY


You people have sent me some great advice concerning cameras and such and I thank you. Here are some images I deem worth - some of them sent by viewers.

And then there is this technique that I toyed with in the depths of an old German bunker.

^^C8^^

There are elements of design that can be applied to anything visual - including photography. Liking visual arts to music, I have been trained to see bad design elements in the same as the trained musician has been trained to hear sour notes. I think I have a working knowledge of those elements and look forward to the next leg of my journey.

My photography professor at the university never altered any of her shots. She didn't even crop. She said that altering an image was cheating and it was her job to take the picture she wanted in the first place. That's a little extreme but I'm not really interested in using the computer to cover up my mistakes. But I'm still trying to figure all this out.

The one thing that I am certain of is that if I ever photograph a woman I will make sure her feet are clean.

^^C9^^

Men are so bad at eye contact because the last I checked titties don't have eyes.

Think about the profound mood shift from losing electrical power at home and losing it at work.


WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT


Does the configuration of those fences confuse anyone besides me?

^^D1^^

Could that be true?

^^D2^^

^^D3^^

What projects it?

^^D4^^

Remember this poor truck?

How the hell is he going to get it out?

^^D5^^

^^D6^^

I've found the feet that women's shoe designers use...

^^D7^^

The Rumble Seat

More hand jobs have occurred in the rumble seat than any other structure known to man.

^^D8^^

Bless her heart.

^^D9^^

^^D10^^

Speaking of...

^^D11^^

Are we to assume that was constructed just for the people who change their minds?

^^D12^^

Every time I complete a task that wasn't on my to-do list I add it, then cross it off for a free dopamine boost.

But what is this?

*I'm pretty sure I'm going to feel like an idiot when that is explained to me.

Apparently laying in bed and yelling "Coffee pot activate" is not a thing. Why is this not a thing yet?

Another clip that is as old as the internet...

^^E7^^

Just looking at that would make my friend Kent physically ill.

Now let's suppose he falls and ends up dangling from the safety rope, do you think the camera person could hoist him back up?

^^E8^^

Slap Game

I was very good at such games. We played with the slapper's palms touching the sides of their thighs.

Gawd watching that man walk that high up casually makes me glad I have an office job. When my dad was young man he was a 'high rigger' for our Hydro utilities company here, essentially what that guy is doing going up there to work on some electrical equipment.

D1 - Though the gardens have odd shapes, the reason seems to be so that every garden has access to one of the two pathways that lead to the fronts of the houses. This would usually be for the purpose of moving waste bins out to be collected as well as providing a rear exit to the houses.

What is this?

Looks a like a prop plane.
In the enlarged picture there is someone looking out a window and the squiggle on the right is the prop.
This would make sense as logically an airplane would be next in line with the technological progression.

White supremacist is an oxymoron.

First image in B2. I would have expected fire and drought to have an upward trend over the last few decades. This graph indicates they're pretty much flat.

Ubuntu is a Zulu (South African) word, not Nigerian. I know americans have very poor geographic knowledge, but Africa is a continent of many different countries and peoples.

B2
This is misleading as it doesn't adjust for inflation.

Is far more usefuk
