The Curse Of The Chat People

Hope today's rain made it feasible to plant trees and move an ornamental grass in the next few days.... I've got a lot of holes to dig.

 

my new dining room table is covered in various veggies....more stacked against the wallhavnt barely touched the tomatoes yet....they are just starting to ripen


so.i went to the reservation to see for myself the new weed store....yup.....its a weed store....no scrips or nothing....just pay cash....they had various candy, oil, shatter at 70 a gram ouch....butter tarts,cookies,cupakes, tinctures.....8 kinds of weed......i am sampling some of each but my ''friend'' can still massively beat their prices....this will save me from running out again though.....45 or 50 for 7 grams

i asked about limits and they said an ounce....but go for a coffee and come back if you need more....so we did....went up the road and had coffee and a cigarette at a nice restaurant down the road....yes that's right....no laws on the reservation about smoking in a restaurant ....everyone there was smoking....i think people go there specifically to eat and smoke.........i gotta say though....no one looked healthy lol

so here i am smoking a rare cig with my stoner friend at the native restaurant....don't have to worry about being recognized anymore now that it is so politically correct to be stoned all the time in canada

 

We have a almost vividly clear night here, the stars are so bright, like LEDs up there. It's a shame my eyesight is so terrible in the dark, the stars just look like... Blur. It's funny. I can see the blur, but it's like HD blur. I can see contrast and the sharpness, yet the surrounding halos and light bursts caused by my eye surgery doesn't let me look at a star, as a star... I see the star, and then I see a thousand ghosting images of that star. That's my halo and light bursts. A continuation of ghosting images upon ghosting images. They farther away the light, the worse this ghosting expands. This is why I don't like driving at night, I can't see past headlights. I'll live like this forever too. I much prefer daylight driving. The more my pupil expands, the more it sees through my damaged eye tissue. Small pupil = looking through less distortion.

Anyway. From what I can see, it's very nice outside tonight. It makes a difference in clear sky or almost clear sky and being so high in the alps, that the visual distortions from heat isn't present either, so everything seems more clear.

Next week we are getting under 15°c so summer is basically over now, autumn approaches. Soon the lakes and dams will freeze and snow will lay it's veil, and we must wait for the spring time breeze until we can set our sails for new adventures.

 

Lovely bit of writing up there regarding the seasons, Irmi.


My eyeglass prescription is at least 5 years old but I can't see the moon clearly. I get that halo thing. Also, lights when driving at night have that halo; actually, last time I thought about it, the lights appeared to be stacked double on top of each other - like stacked boxes.

 

Mike doughty of soul coughing has a lyric in a song that goes "angels coming down from the traffic lights"
Reminds me of the halo you were just talking about.

 

For me, driving at night has everything to do with the weather and the cleanliness of my windshield. lol Earlier tonight I received a distress call from bff to come kill a spider in her bathtub. :rofl: She didn't want me to laugh (or even make fun!)...I told her I wouldn't make fun but she could forget about me not laughing. She said she sprayed a wee little bit of ant killer on it before dashing out and closing the bathroom door. She claimed it was "so big I could put a saddle on it and ride it out of the tub if I wasn't so scared."

It was DEAD when I got there. I thought that was sooo funny.

I'm watching the Olympics while I'm also on the internet. YAY

I'm going to have a hard ass time if something ever happens to either this computer or my internet connection.

lol

 

Sprays don't work like they once used to. I remember as a kid, bit of spray and bam! Knock anything dead in seconds. Now waste half a can on a big spider and it's still alive half an hour later. Very sick of course. Now for, all a can of spray is good for is making th bastards angry, or, make them fall off the roof for my big hoof to step on them. Conversely I have also sucked them into vacuum cleaners then sprayed inside the vacuum nozzle too.
Now I've been told not to do that because the spiders will crawl out, and, the spray could blow the vacuum up. I've noticed neither of this happening though. I don't think spider much like being in a canister of dust, dog hair and spray.

 

13 year anniversary for some of us who experienced the 2003 blackout

 

I got ripped off in that blackout......

everyone in Toronto's east end had no power except a 2 block square that was close to the transformer station....right where our company was located.....

I only got a few hours of off time and it was right back to work while everyone else had 1-3 days off

my dog may have knocked up the female shep......I guess we will see......captain lets the female drink and eat from his bowl but if the male even gets close to it captain runs him off with a deep growl and a snap

 

Even though it started in Ohio, we had no problems in the part of Ohio where I live.

 

I was in California at the time...

 

My house in nj had it the full time. But I was visiting a friend in PA at the time. If it wasn't for friends and family mentioning it I would have never known it happened.

 

The Olympic pool is green (algae I assume) and I've seen far too much gymnastics. But I am impressed that a 100 pound girl has that kind of strength.

 

i was welding when the blackout hit...thought i had popped a breaker when everything stopped


the neighbour that i remember coming over and telling me how big the outage was has since died...his wife died too...and a ton of other neighbours now that i think about it...lots happens in 13 years

and life goes on

i want one like this, except for the fact that i dont want my kids to make it.

 

Dammit!

I was gonna post that ^^^

 

Anyways... I moved that ornamental grass and a small oak out of the front patio garden... The oak is now nursery stock for some later date, It was not supposed to be there and was probably a forgotten acorn stashed by the obese front yard squirrel. (He's not overly smart) The grass got stuck out in the upper front yard in an area that I cleared of brush last year. I had planted it three years ago but it got to big for the space and was hiding the Japanese Maple.


The spot where they were is now going to have a purple witch's gazing ball...


There are still two shrubs to plant out front.
