A very neat and unintentional perspective on my good freind Thomis Gebhart at an erzatz get together.

Into the Sun mid february - this is too cool one can see solar flairs - by the by the sun is in quite a turbulent phase just now at least one hopes it is just a phase.

Something is deeply wrong that the subject of torture should even come up in a nomination of the US attorney General. In any event one can click on the link and retrieve the code for the above banner and paste it onto one's website.

A recent find at the thrift store for a dollar a great pastel but the real miracle is to be found on the back of this artwork.

The Madonna appears opposite the pastel!
What does it all mean?
Could she have abandoned her perch on the cheese sandwich to enter my life on the back of a thrift store art acquisition?

Probably easier to see her if you click on the image and view the enlarged photo.

inauguration day

Ah inauguration day for President Bush’s second term. I guess the only question now is at what point if any will the crimes and outrages of Bush and his sycophants force the Republican majorities in the house to begin impeachment and the Senate to convict? Is there any character at all left in the so-called conservative cohorts of the Legislature?

Perhaps if one recalls Watergate when Republicans eventually did the right thing.

Its not much hope but it is some.

Meanwhile my survey of Democrats and democratic web sites and blogs reveals that these folks still do not seem to get the fact that despite the black box voting and obvious election fraud tens of millions of Americans voted against Kerry – not for Bush – for reasons that any reasonable observer must find as compelling as any argument to vote against Bush.

Given a fair count of the votes I fully expect Kerry would have carried the day but it still would have been close. Democrats need desperately to acknowledge that there might just be some sort of problem with the product they are trying to sell.

Neither of the two major parties have any real support amongst the American People all they truly command is a lesser measure of distaste.

In fact there must only be a handful of voters who actually voted for either of the two major party excuses.

Like I said not much hope.
Oh well the Republic was nice while it lasted,

After discussing GIS with some of my Geologist Buddies I observed -

“Geographers Rule the World”

Yet another new endeavor my re-exploration of porous or no-fines concrete an ultra cheap concrete that is made of gravel and cement.

As it is not necessary to coat every grain of sand as there are no grains of sand. Thus the amount of cement ($) needed to make concrete is drastically less. The material does have quite a bit less strength that normal concrete - about a third as much - thing is regular concrete is incredibly strong being able to with stand loads around 3200 lbs per square inch.

So unless you plan to build a skyscrapers or a major bridge no-fines should be more than adequate around the homestead. Being porous the material can also become an excellent insulator by applying plaster on an inside and stucco on the outside. This is of course a test block made about a week ago.

Into the Sun - Pretty neat huh?

My Dad always said never look directly into the Sun good advice for sure, but with the digital camera everything has changed and yes one can now look into the Sun.

Problem is that it took me all these years before I realized how this new tool changed everything. I guess that is the way of it humans get a new tool and it is years maybe generations before all the ramifications of that tool can be recognized.
