LOLOLOL! What a precious graphic and poem!
To: Conspiracy Guy
"NicknamedBob and I have become word sculptors."
Funny you should put it that way...
The Poem
The poem rests inside my head,
Like carvings set in stone.
And all I have to do is cut away,
The words that aren’t my own.
Every singing bit of rhyme,
Is like a memory.
So all I have to do is shed,
The parts that aren’t me.
One thing I often wonder,
As I chop the chips away,
How much of me is taken with,
The message I convey.
With all the mass of messages,
The scriptings that I’ve cleft,
When I set out the last of them,
Will anything be left?

Great minds think alike. Too bad you and I don't know any great minds. We could learn a lot.

Thank you, Bob. Awesome photo of Mt. Ranier.

I don't see Darks as this kind of 'wanderer', I just like the song, and think of it everytime he tells us he's wandering.
Artist Lyrics: Dion And The Belmonts
Song Lyrics: The Wanderer
Oh well, I'm the type of guy who will never settle down
Where pretty girls are, well you know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love'em 'cause to me they're all the same
I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em they don't even know my name
They call me the wanderer, yeah the wanderer
I roam around-around-around
Oh well, there's Flo on my left and there's Mary on my right
And Janie is the girl well, that I'll be with tonight
And when she asks me which one I love the best
I tear open my shirt and I show her "Rosie" on my chest
'Cause I'm a wanderer, yeah the wanderer
I roam around-around-around
Oh well, I roam from town to town
I go through life without a care
And I'm as happy as a clown
A-with my two fists of iron, but I'm going nowhere, aah
I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place, I roam from town to town
And when I find myself I'm a-fallin' for some girl
Yeah, I hop right into that car of mine
I drive around the world
Yeah, I'm a wanderer, yeah the wanderer
I roam around-around-around
Oh yeah, I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place, I roam from town to town
And when I find myself a-fallin' for some girl
I hop right into that car of mine
Drive around the world
'Cause I'm a wanderer, yeah a wanderer
I roam around-around-around-around-around
'Cause I'm a wanderer, yeah a wanderer
I roam around-around-around-around-around

Is that you in that graphic?
To: PreviouslyA-Lurker
It was very serendipitous. I went to the Mt. Rainier National Park Website, looking for an image. I found that one almost by accident.
It fit the Mayor's words so well. I felt inspired, too.

One more short note ..... < Meek Soapbox >
I saw Robert Byrd's face on FOX News a short while ago. I had the volume turned down low, so couldn't hear what he had to say during this *yet another DemocRAT* Congressional Investigation of the Bush Administration (The Iraqi Prisoner Abuse cra*). I don't have to hear it to know he probably was saying something hateful, as always when the camera is on him.
I wish that I lived in Byrd's voting district (I actually don't wish that - *shudder*) only so I could vote AGAINST him and send him correspondence he would (SHOULD) have to answer. I would ask him, "When are you going to apologize, Senator Byrd?" Apologize to the country for your *service* in the KKK ..... apologize to the country for your use of the word ni**er, as recently as just a few years ago, etc. Since you and your lapdog media are REAL BIG on apologies here lately, the next time you get "face time" on national TV, please apologize for this, eh, Senator Byrd !?!
In fact, I may just send him my note anyway. If EVERY TIME he spewed his HATE on national TV his fax machine and email servers would BURN UP from the reaction, maybe, just maybe, he would shut up. But I doubt it.
My sentiment is similar regarding fat ted kennedy and others, as well.
