Not Sharon, not the Mermaid, but aerial. Yep, what's that doing up there I have no flipping idea as I see there is Dish Network attached to the house.

I disapprove of this message

I am [insert name here] and I approve of this message. America needs [insert banter here] and I can bring positive change. I am the right [candidate gender] for the job. Americans want [list of needs and some desires] (missing is that America wants to remain on top, realistic or not -- that's what Americans really want) and with [these steps] (we or America) can make it happen. And now a word from our sponsor: [Have you tried Ego-Viagra; do! It will perk up any normal ego into a superego. This is RJ Reynolds ... This is car company blah, blah. Here at Mobil Oil, we care about the environment.] Welcome back!

As I was saying ... thanks to the American market (ie: company commercials) we are stronger as a country and can win the war on terror (though we'll scare you into not sleeping at night). All we need to do is turn our tail and run and threaten to not buy anything, though virtually nothing is made in America now. We need to be oil independent ...

[H3, more fuel efficient than numbers 1 and 2, and you can drive over trees in Yellowstone, it has that much power to conquer the wild.]

So, vote for me. I promise less cronyism; isn't that right guys? Yes, [sir or mam].

I will now entertain questions with a politician's song and dance.

League of Women Voter's

Much better than many other sites. Do you want to be blanketed with info, then go here!

Ballot

Allen County ballot shown courtesy of Fort Wayne Journal Gazette.

Vote with hope.

Audi

as in outside, or the car, or the car with the obnoxious driver with obscene music played at deafening volumes, hereafter dubbed Loudiy. I was driving to get an oil change and I stopped a car and a half length away from the loud car, despite my distance from the light. What a flake, rude too! The driver was likely early thirties, not a teen. I understand that there are many new hearing aid devices available. That's good news for you as you'll need them in around ten to twelve years -- you putz!

journalism

Why most people who try journalism don't make it. Here, I clearly would bomb out for I would tend to use spell check before submitting or posting anything on a news site.

Last night's walk

about 8.5 miles ... not too bad. The sad thing is, I was expecting rain and I had with me a hat and coat. It was hot and I likely looked silly carrying them these several miles.

-- picture from Google Earth

I think I'll see things in marshmallows next

Jesus in a sonogram?
OK. I didn't at first see it, then ... pow ... a really bad desperate attempt at finding something.
So, Jesus made an appearance with different length arms, no torso and the arms are too long for a human? Uh, I think you are terribly in need of miracles, but not this. Try going to church and finding Jesus in your heart or soul, no an X-Ray, your paint, your tie, carpet, dashboard, photographs. I think it was stupid to have this as a news article.

Somebody made me...

want money to do it. Hannah Montana Cyrus poorly chosen photo shoot. "I didn't want to do it", right. I suppose there was a gun to your head the entire time. Yep. Right, bogus! She did a risque photo shoot and no laments that it was a bad thing. Worse still, Vanity Fair gets off free for the near child porn? Who's to say that there are photos of her wearing less? I think this should spell the end of Miley, hopefully the end of Vanity Fair and maybe Disney will start re-thinking and re-tooling itself for FAMILY viewing.

Hey kids! Be like me and Britney ... be a high-paying ho thanks to Velvet Jones.

Let's close this chapter on America's journey to the dark side, shall we?

I'm sloppy too

That isn't a job

So, do I inspect terminal people, an airport terminal, or must I be terminal and I'm hired as an inspector?

harsh treatment for shoes (2nd day with them)

The grass stain on right shoe occurred five hours after I bought the shoes. Yep, I'm tough on shoes.
I normally buy a little more expensive shoes, but at $10 and my treatment of shoes, I thought I would try them. They are not especially comfortable, insole weak.

Fort Wayne's Summer Fashion

A button on the front plays I didn't mean to piss you off with the music from Robert Palmer.
I think Fort Wayne has a crime problem. I think we should slack the rules a bit on deadly force for known felons.

I actually got word that someone will not seek work here for concern of the killings. I don't think that is realistic, but it is not unfounded. Fear of a thing sometimes is quite justified.

Bling-Glish

Are you threatening me?

I am Corn-Cholio!

I wear my shirt over my head, lean like a Cholo and am King with Bling

Datz me

So, where's the English?+

+ think old Wendy's commercial, "Where's the beef?"

So... let's clear this.

The problem is that for months and months and months potential voters didn't get state-issued IDs (forms accepted) and now that the election is here (Fort Wayne News article) it is a hardship? That's total bunk! When you read the forms accepted, some dummies might cry, "unfair", but apparently they've never filed a W-4 then, right. If you ever worked for a company that required you to fill out a W-4, then you have the ID required to get a state-issued ID.

So, again, who doesn't get to vote? People who don't or haven't filed W-4s. Why would I knock myself out about getting them to vote?

I support

the nomination of someone who isn't a buffoon. While I am not known for my Republican or conservative views or banter -- namely because that isn't my "flavor", I can honestly type that Clinton and Obama have overwhelmingly shown that neither one is fit for the job. You all can stop; you got me; you are both bad picks. I got it!

I think the zinger here, apart from Obama's dubious "typical white people" and associations with "Klandestine" rhetoric denouncing Jews, Whites, Catholics and government conspiracies, is Obama's last ditch effort to get the "disenfranchised" vote. So, who is served by voting without IDs? I would venture to guess those ill-suited to vote.

About Clinton, what can I type? She was crooked before they got to the White House, revealed plainly years five and six. Their policy of corruption was deep and intrinsic. There's no way I would vote for her, but ...

I appreciate both Hillary and Barrack coming to the state and my town to speak to folks. We haven't had a thing like this for a long, long time. We are generally a fly-by state.

Thanks for coming, but ... you still don't get my vote.

AT&T Go phone

Well, I suggest go home. "Paradise By the Dashboard Lights" being sung father to son with phone applicable lyrics. Whoa, I can't believe you went to that! "I will love you 'til the end of time" included. I suppose there will be a Snickers, commercial about eating chocolate bars by the dashboard lights next.

Enough with the gay stuff, please!

Into a blank stare

Diabetes ... I don't want it. My family has a history of it. I saw the paleness, the blankness of eyes ... hardly a thought coming into focus. Cripes, that's gotta be scary! I am thinking now that although I had a short walk, I didn't do nearly enough, so I will either walk tonight or draw or work on something.

It still haunts me ... the eyes: unfocused on anything, moving but no dilation and behind them a mind burning with no desires, cares, or wonders, only confusion and a dream to sleep. Zombies are so cast.

I'd need an ID?

Well, thankfully the Supreme Court upheld that Indiana isn't being unfair by requiring state-issued IDs for voting. What's the hardship ... oh, that's right, being able to get a free one. Yep, that's tough. Well Obama, Bahamas, group failed on this one. That's one more vote he won't be getting.

I think there are many who will cry themselves to sleep knowing that people will actually have to show ID to vote. Darn ... just marking "X" isn't good enough anymore? Are you John Doe? "Grunt." Is that grunt a yes or a no?

more travel by the while

After walking for so many miles, I have become sunburned and muddied. I also bear the scars of thickets. Ah, the cost of walking the less beaten trail.
Haary Baals Drive in Fort Wayne, Johnny Appleseed Camp facing Coliseum Blvd. The bushes are lovely.
Dam long walk on some days.
A short bridge to soccer fields. This is Shoaff Park in Fort Wayne. Sadly, the locals in the area were discharging weapons in their yard.
This is on the North end of Shoaff Golf Course. This pond hosted many geese, none of whom liked me being there.
Metal, rusted, ladder down. I had to hold the hand rail for I couldn't see the individual steps for the brown mud, leaves and rust.
Higher ground, but not morally. This is a high spot overlooking St. Joseph River
The depth here you can't see well. It was an edge to the bank. It fell about 12 feet forward into the river and about 12 feet down. I won't bother going into the math to find the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
I found a lone, mostly hidden face in a birdhouse. "You can't see me", I believe is the message I was to get.
In Shoaff Park, I took the uncleared river path that was narrow, steep, full of thickets. Here is an example.
What I don't have is a clear picture of reeds that appear to be "bamboo" that I listed as straw in an earlier post, as runoff material likely from fields. Bamboo from Indiana? Who knew?
Pink and lovely now will burst forth into white-pink blossoms, then stay green until fall.
Ah, a human-made shanty lean-to. I wonder how many squatters reside there?
St. Joseph River at the bank. I later saw two speedboats with riders.
I nearly didn't leave, for as you can see my shoes sank like quicksand into the mud.
small pond at Shoaff Park that meets the pavilion and the lot linking to the children's playsets.
an old school that is closed but seemed to be used as an art studio by someone
it is on 100 N. near Ossian, IN
Tinman in Ossian ... OK, he is a sheet metal man for an AC business, but still odd.
old fugal grwoth in Fogwell Forest, IN part of Acres Land Trust
peel apart tree, not a banana, in Fogwell Forest
along a scant trail from Fogwell Forest to a private residence of horse owners, this anthill was 24-30 inches wide
Fogwell Forest is green and alive, but mostly quiet when I went. The mosquitoes were not pestering me ...

OUT

I got out some aggression. I have a bit more. While my more tangible demon is out, there is still the fire left behind -- stress and curious wonder with the destruction it left behind. The "thing" I mentioned in F' Off is still a problem, though not as "close". I'm not sure that I need to kill it, I just wish it would fade away -- dying from Earth and memory.

Marked down

It's a shame when I read Lio by Mark Tatulli that I reasonably infer that he is denounced for his characters' rude behaviors. If that is the case, the protesting group must not have ever read or protested Calvin & Hobbs, Far Side, Opus, Doonsbury, et. al. I wonder if those same people ever read or protested those cartoons? The same might be reasonably remarked about Shrek.

I like his work. Heart of the City smacks of allusions more relevant to my generation including Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Star Trek, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the Reagan years.

99.9999 percent of the antics of Lio cannot be duplicated. Is there a child who can put together a 50' robot that terrorizes the town? There are far fetched battle dramatics between a strange boy and his interest, an equally strange girl who will have nothing to do with him. Generally, Lio spend his time in working on his next great adventure or is kind to even the disenchanted "monsters" of many fears -- those that lurk under the bed.

So, whether the persons protesting are editors or readers, shove off and let interested readers be delighted in with his endeavors.
