As the candidates begin to emerge from their holes in preparation for the upcoming "Election" I have become sick to my soul by the whole affair.
We have become complacent and dull witted. We don't know what to do.
Welcome to the machine.
Nothing about this is new of course. It's just that with years of practice, I think that they've finally gotten it right. On both sides of the aisle.
I would like to encourage you dear readers to read one of my favorite blogs on the subject. Like a piece of meat too big to chew, it can be deliciously enjoyed and eventually swallowed having me return again and again for more......

My Dad was a news editor and I THRIVED on papers, news and politics.

Now, I just feel so nauseated and really want to go live in a hole and not emerge until 2009.

I was just going to say something like loralee did. I am at the point I hate even hearing about politics. I certainly don't want to bother with voting, though I know I will. *SIgh*

I add my vote to yours. Brenden's post was brilliant.

It truly is time for reasonable people to begin shouting about what the neo-conservatives are doing to this country and to the world.

TaoSpring - pallet chicken coop

-
Image
I had less than a month to build a suitable coop and chicken run. I had very little money to work with. Having seen many coops and out buildings that people have assembled using scrap pallets, I thought that I would give it a try. Starting with two 4 x 8 pallets as the floor, I assembled all the available pallets that I could find. This is the frame of the coop. It will measure approximately 8ft x 8ft. Saltbox style roof will be 9 feet at the front and will taper down to 8 1/4 feet in the back. My inspiration is drawn from the bottom photo   seen here. I varied the plans to accommodate the unevenness of available pallet size. In a perfect world a 4' x 4' pallet would make pallet building as easy as playing with Lego's. Unfortunately downsizing has effected everything. Most pallets now measure 48" x 40" and the solid 4' by 4' pallets are usually reclaimed by their owners. Oh, they're out there, but I am looking to build for as little

We're all Gods witha capital "G", eh?

The multiplicity of available forums such as blogger, wordpress, my space and etc...allow us the ability to share something of our experience. And I like that:>) On some subjects we will agree while on others we may see things differently. And that's okay. So, here I go again... I recently read a brilliant and well written post on a Buddhist blog that mapped out the reasons why it is that Buddhists do not believe in a supreme being and that the concept of a creator God is antithetical to Buddhist thought. The post also cites that the Buddha listed belief in a supreme creator as one of the wrong views in the Brahmajala Sutta, Digha 1. This neatly packaged "Buddhist belief" feels like too big a piece of gristle in my mouth. Chewing it creates a rather fatty taste in my mouth and to spit it out feels rude. I have come to a place where I am sensitive or aware of beliefs, labels and such. At several points in my life I could say that I am a Christian, a Taoist, a Buddhist,

Seasons - garden update

This summer has been very unusual. But I've seen it all before. There are times that the seasons act according to form and there are times that they don't. There have been more days of rain and clouds than sunny summer days. In point of fact, we had warmer days in May. We got started rather late but as you can see things are progressing in spite of all the wet weather.
