you'll prolly wind up in juvenile court with your new wild friends

But Loddy, why worry about me? It's not like I am some dark overlord from some strange place...... Umm.. Wait.... *eyes dart left and right*

The Japanese beatles have found my rose this year. I had two years respite from them, now I have to slaughter them. Rather not, as insecticidal soap and other such leaves this unsightly yutz on my rose. Not to mention those darn ugly iridescent green bugs frozen in odd positions.

The marketplace was the perfect illustration of orderly chaos. People busily flitted about their normal routines trying to get things done.Some were too busy to notice a faint dual tone rumbling. Others ignored it thinking it was an approaching storm. Only a few actually saw what it was and knew that soon, everyone would see it.
A whirlpool like portal opened up parallel to the ground. It quivered, shook, bent and finally sat still. The very air around it seemed to bend and refract. Then it burped. And a man fell to the ground hard.
And the portal closed with a drawn out belch as various debris dropped out and bounced along the ground.
A handfull of people surrounded the body while muttering to themselves. That's when the smoking, flame licked body moved.
"Not one of my better time jumps, I'd say. Hmm?" the body said as it slowly stood up, making crackling sounds as it did so.
"Oh, that hurt. Good thing I heal quick, eh?" he sad, leaning towards a frightened old man. The old man muttered a small phrase to his gods in his language.
"That's okay. I've really got to get goinganyways." the timejumper said while patting the old man gently on the cheek. He turned and drunkenly hobbled/shuffled away from the old man.
"Whoa, that hurt worse than I thought." was the last thing the small crowd heard him say as he rounded a corner.
Then the crowd went back to their normal lives as if nothing had happened. And according to their collective memories, nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Perfectly normal for a case of temporal shift-inversion induced amnesia on a mass scale. But a few who were there knew what had just happened.

And they duly reported it to those who should know about such things.

The Timekeeper was still brushing off dust and patting out small flames. The fact that he was doing this in and absent minded fashion didn't register on his mind.

Palo, I never heard of that plant, but then I am not really knowledgeable about desert plants...poor little Lulu...got her tootsies, stuck with thorns...glad you were able to get them out for her to be able to walk again....

I just had this picture of our Palo, trying to lug Lulu home, slung over her shoulder, and now having one shoulder permanently lower than the other...

[grannie9]

I know a lot about you tho.. and it's mostly all bad.. You would probably eat all he profits.. NO.

[palo verde]

WOW!

[andysandmikesmom]

I love ground lamb...we only get it occasionally in the supermarket, so when we do, I buy lots of it, and freeze it...its really yummy...

That way of making meatballs, looks especially good...I will have to try it...Ii just love Ricotta cheese, so I imagine adding it to the lamb, beef, and pork mixture, along with the Parmesan, makes for some tasty meatballs...I am going to do that, the next time I make meatballs...

[palo verde]

roses sure love growing for you darksheare
you have the touch
they are my favorite flower

[andysandmikesmom]

Post 403 was meant for you...looks like I am losing my marbles and talking to myself...

[grannie9]

Could you possibly post those stories in the morning..when I'm not so close to going to bed? First the dog eating Ivy and now this? You are not good for my peace of mind you know.. I'm old and feeble.. Be kind..

[palo verde]

the scorpion plant grows along ground like ground cover
it is weed no one likes cause it makes zillions of goatheads
if westy were here, I'd ask him if it is in Baja too
it is a desert plant

[grannie9]

One or two eggs, some bread crumbs and we like galic.. Fry them in olive oil and you'll love them... I use about a pound of each meat.. You can also use Veal instead of Pork.. but I love the flavor pork gives to sauce..

[palo verde]

rofl I must be losing my marbles too
I just assumed it was addressed to me
I didn't notice my name wasnt on it

[grannie9]

Oh.. and Mom.. if you use the wet Ricotta, drain it for awhile to get out the water. The last Ricotta I used was nice and thick with no water at all.. Wish I could remember the brand..

[andysandmikesmom]

Those kids notes were good...I especially liked the one of the parent writing to the school explaining that her son could not attend school as he had an 'acre' in his side, rather than the correct, 'ache' in his side...that one just made me laugh...

It also reminded me of my Aunt Pearl, who know, the one who gave old Uncle Oscar the incorrect address of my dad, and Oscar wound up in the police station...

Well, Aunt Pearl, always wrote long rambling letters to my mom...pages and pages of nothing but the most mundane, and trivial things...anyway this one time she was talking about a neighborhood man, who lived across the street, and his medical problems....

Now I guess this man had a 'fistular' cyst up his rectum...but Aunt Pearl often got words mixed up, or just said things funny...anyone instead of saying that the man had a fistular cyst up his rectum, she said he had a fist up his rectum...I remember watching my dad as he read that letter, and burst out laughing...

When Aunt Pearl said that the man had a fist up his rectum, my dads comment was, "Gads, that must have been some fight"..

Anyway, that kid with the 'acre' in his side, made me think to myself, "Gads, that kid has one big side to fit a whole acre in it"...

Kids and Parents say the strangest things...Art Linklatter indeed...

The brand is called Little Miss Muffett ;-)

[Darksheare]

Well... It's time for me to check my eyelids for holes...or check holes for my eyelids... But I do have to say that the heat kills my puter.. so I get on at odd times. Sorry, I'll try not to freak anyone out...

On a side note, if anyone knows where Milford, Pennsylvania is.. There is an art exhibition there from the 10th to the 21st. Borough Hall, West Catherine street. Info call, (570) 296-7660. Reason I'm throwing this out there to take wing on it's own is because I finally got the guts up to put some of my artwork out to view. Anyone anywhere near the area can go and see what a nut, err.. see what goes on in me skull. I think I'm the only guy to toss graphite sketches out there...

[palo verde]

Happy just rolled on his back with joy
Happy is good name for him, he came with the name
how he got it I do not know
there never was such woebegone pup on planet when we found him in the pound

[habs4ever]

I saw a great interview with Art a couple of years ago, and he told a very sweet story of how a special taping of his show was done and unbeknownst to him, about 2000 grown people were assembled to celebrate Art and his work, and they were oncce all the kids that appeared on his shows from 40 yrs previously, and they brought their own families with them to meet Art. At first, he had no idea what was going on, and then old clips of the kids began appearing, and then an adult would stand up and introduce himself.

Of course, Art just feel apart, as a normal decent person would, and the place just went nuts for the man.

Did you know that he was a speaker at this yrs CPAC Conference in DC??

[grannie9]

Why don't you scan some of this artwork, and scare the hell out of us..? The stuff you wouldn't dare show anyone else..

Oh, and by the way.. Good luck.. really.. If I lived close by, I'd go...
