I’ve had the idea for some time that they’re broadcasting a frequency just under the range of audible conscious hearing. Sometimes I find myself listening to it, trying to make out what it says. Today I was well and good in the wilderness, middle of nowhere and it was so silent. The silence was heavy like an old-fashioned quilt. At home I was trying to figure out why it had been so unusual – but the silence. The silence was so present…hmm. Anyway I’m sleep-deprived, don’t listen to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another lazy summer rolls out on the Oregon Coast<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was able to get in a good bicycle ride this week of a little over 13 miles and the foxglove (pink flowers in the photo) are lovely this year. They go off like fireworks, and slowly they’ll die back bloom by bloom like a fading sparkler and late summer will arrive, and they’ll be gone. But for now, wow, what a show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pair of iridescent barn swallows are nesting under my room over hang and have built a nice little mud home. They are taking turns sitting on eggs at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighborhood was quiet this week too, or at least not burning down. The elk are starting to calve and are cranky. That’s about all I guess. I did a lot of yard work and caught up a lot of projects. Everything looks nice outside front \/ back. I was able to fill up most of my raised garden beds, and I’m going to put some flowers in there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When polled, 4\/5 cats said this was a relaxing home and they would visit it again for the ambiance, canned cat food and old soft chairs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This house used to be better back when they had one good orange cat and none of the others…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kidney Stone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have a kidney stone on my left side and every so often it gives me a zing so painful it knocks the wind out of me. Thank God it’s just a winge, and then I’m okay, because damn, it hurts. With current inflation and things going the way they are going (cue stockpiling beans), I sure don’t want to have to visit and stay at the US hospital. Ugh. I need to do the McDougall diet for a while and lose this fat and lose my kidney stone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re probably in a space war over our heads – I’m pretty sure of it – and our country is losing money like it’s being siphoned off into a black hole while Washington’s official stance is that nothing at all is awry (sure sign we’re fucked folks) – so uh’ yeah, where is this all headed? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, we might move, we’re looking around. It’s very expensive and see: hoarding beans. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
