I love this song......

Galileo's head was on the block

The crime was looking up the truth

And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode

I try to trace them to my youth


And then you had to bring up reincarnation

Over a couple of beers the other night

And now I'm serving time for mistakes made by another

In another lifetime


How long till my soul gets it right

Can any human being ever reach that kind of light

I call on the resting soul

of Galileo

King of night vision

King of insight


I think about my fear of motion

Which I never could explain

Some other fool across the ocean years ago

Must have crashed his little airplane


How long till my soul gets it right

Can any human being ever reach that kind of light

I call on the resting soul

of Galileo

King of night vision

King of insight


I'm not making a joke

you know me I take everything so seriously

If we wait for the time till all souls get it right

Then at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihalation

in my lifetimeI'm still not right

I offer thanks to those before me

that's all I've got to say

Cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime

Now I have to pay

But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration

To let the next life off the hook

Or she'll sayLook what I had to overcome from my last life

I think I'll write a book


How long till my soul gets it right

(till my soul gets it right)Can any human being ever reach the highest light

Except for Galileo (resting soul)

Resting soul (of Galileo)

King of night vision

King of insight

we're supposed to be getting it "right"?

crap.

too much control is a bad thing you know.

let's hope the airline pilots are super-relaxed for example but not so much so that they're asleep.

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

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.

I hate bad news

Sunday morning......Saturday night was spent around the fire with about ten people, little scotch, little beer, good conversation, shrimp, cheese & crackers, sliced apple and smoked gouda. So, getting up this a.m. was a little difficult and then the phone rang. It was my oldest daughter. My niece's baby died. Her father was holding her on the couch and gave her a bottle at 11 p.m. When he awoke, she was beside him on the couch dead. They don't know if he slept on her and she smothered or died from natural causes. She was 2 months old. We don't see as much death in little children as we once did. We have very old cemetaries tucked in throughout New England with many little children, sometimes from the same family that died from disease. This kind of death is different. How does anyone deal with this? If it is ruled an accident due to smothering, how does the father manage? How does my neice ever be able to look at him? Damn, I hate bad news......
