There is a reason, maybe someday I will share why?

A break in the rain.

There is something refreshing and cleansing about the rain. I simply enjoy the washing of the world. It’s as if the dirt and grime of the everyday build up are brushed aside, and run down the street to become the dirt and grime of someone else. Maybe they will see the beauty and newness this watershed brings.  

As per AC:

“I've been asking for some rain. My roses had been pruned and it has been a crisp and clear 70' after the holidays. I really wanted a couple of rainy days...just to wash the flowers faces and bathe in the raindrops of a new year. I think my British roots show through in this kind of weather and I dig my umbrella. After it rains and the sun peeks out...it is so refreshing to just breathe... a good way to start the new year I think.”

The clouds shall be gray for a day or so, I will be here to enjoy them as they wash my world and bring a smell of new and fresh and tender rebirth to all things.

And in that water is the reflection of living things most clean and ready to be beheld a new.

Yes, down the street it all flows; to someone else's world. Thank you for the rain.

I often wonder what would have happened.

It’s Sunday morning and I have a cup of coffee in hand. The TV is on, it’s one of those free weekend things and a superhero movie is pandering to my interest. Sorta.

When I was younger, I wanted to have adventures and do things rather exciting. I had hopes of that most perfect ’ideal’ with a wonderful and trusted partner in life. I thought I would travel not only this planet but I really had aspirations' of going beyond, someday.

Like Captain Kirk, I was never a Boy Scout; but I wanted to be.

What I have learned is that there is something more unbelievable than any leap of imagination ever penned by the most creative authors the world has ever known. It is that spark, that rush,the moment of realization that there is nothing more rewarding than holding your grandchild's hand and having them believe that everything you ever conceived..is real.

Thank you God, and give me the strength to be that daring, that bold, that strong and yes; that right. It is hard being, yet I try.

 

There is reward for just being. There is a justness in being a common man. There are steps to be climbed.

I wish to draw your attention to RED MEAT

once again.

Damn it!

I never even got around to giving her a name. She wasn't really mine, I more or less belonged to her. She came with the house and greeted me every morning at the door. She would come into the house but would never start eating until I came into the kitchen where her dish was. Never a lap cat; but truly a friend.

She was attacked today by two damn dogs and was killed. I got her to the vet but she had to be put down as her back had been broken.

I know there is a lot of pain and misery in the world. I know that there are people really doing bad things to one another, but she was my friend and I am crying. I am going to wash her dish and bury it in the back yard. I miss her already.
Damn it! I hate those dogs.

and the waters shall part, ah make that recycled

Today, Disneyland plans to begin draining the Rivers of America for the first time since 2003 for refurbishment.

Make sure you take pictures of the ‘ rivers of america’ looking like the rivers of arizona in july if you go anytime soon. Of all the refurbs that take place in the park, I personally feel this is the most striking.

Interesting tease as to additions to be added while the ride is down in this video.

Note to my daughter: look for the ducksssssss!

for all of those looking for deeper meaning…

in these end of the world times:

Happy New Year; tonight!

This is the famous address "Flatiron Building, New York." The Manhattan landmark under construction circa 1902. Here’s hoping everyone has a safe and prosperous New Year.

Hay Alice, what was at the bottom of that hole?

Tim Burton let loose with the Disney brand name. Humm, he takes over the Haunted Mansion at Halloween, will we see a special ‘overlay’ maybe in the near future. This could be fun, I hope so!

i give you the Tesla Xmas Tree

I hope everyone has a wonderful celebration of the birth of Christ, a wonderful and healthy New Year and a most warm and safe Holiday Season.

Remember to be thankful for what you have and who you are.
