Morning Chief....Morning Family

Mav has been keeping me updated on the family...I miss you All.

Yesterday was my last day at work...it was time..I was ready..

Still up in the air on the exact day the house will close but I continue to plan and will leave even if it is not closed as it will probably close next week.

Not sure yet if I am leaving town Sat or Sun....I plan on being in KC on Wednesday.

Trying to keep myself together....can't fall apart yet...still things to be done!!!!

I will either try to check in or have Mav keep you all updated to when I leave town...

Miss you all like crazy

Take care of yourself kid, and don't fall apart on us just yet.

Well whenever you leave town just try and leave on a happy note. Family history has taught me it is much better that way.

Beamer wanted me to let you know that she has a closing date and time. They plan to close on Wednesday the 5th at 1:00PM. But she has had enough and is planning to leave to come to KC on Saturday or Sunday, with stops along the way.

She should get here about the same time as I do.

She just wanted to let you all know.

Man...

Little Bit has to be pretty well frustrated; ready to hit the road.

I was thinking about her situation this morning. I suppose there is a "good" side of it. As she sits there and listens to the echo of the empty building and figits over the lacking of a computer, there can be no doubt that this phase of her life is over. Nothing is being left - only something ahead. There is no going back, there is no "back" to go back to.

In a way, that is a pretty neat condition to be in. No guess work now, no speculating, no options to consider. The "what if" phase is over and the path is mapped. That state is to preferred over "I have no idea..." any day, in my mind.

We're all rootin' for you babe, for both of you. Hang in there. It's happening.

The situation is very difficult for those poor people but things are moving. Since Tuesday they are receiving 3000 euros each for their immediate needs and much more to come once the loss of houses, barns, cattle, cultivations etc is listed.... a big task but there's lots of people working on it.
Also burying dead animals and repairing the power, water and telephone lines. And so much more.... it's almost bare land anymore and everything has to be restored almost from scratch.

Tell her to be careful...and not get too wild-ass crazy on the road trip...

She will be bubbling over with craziness and anticipation..Geeze... I can just see her...And I will be driving that road this weekend

You think fate was responsible for 300 fires starting within a couple of hours? And 60-70 more each following day for three days? Sorry, that's too much for me to accept as coincidence or natural causes.

A mix of hot winds, drought and soaring temperatures has been blamed for more than 3,000 forest fires this year. But this week alone, a rash of deadly and uncontrollable wildfires raced through the nation, swallowing thousands of acres of scrubland in the Peloponnese — even the sacred grounds of the ancient site of the birthplace of the Olympic Games, Olympia. Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis declared a nationwide state of emergency. More controversially, the Prime Minister suggested that sabotage was behind the blazes. "So many fires, breaking out simultaneously in so many places can not be a coincidence," he said in a nationally televised address Saturday. Within days, 79 arrests of "suspicious persons" were made. And on Monday, arson and murder charges were levied against a 65-year-old man for allegedly torching parts of Aereopolis, in the southern Peloponnese, where six people were killed

I guess I was addressing the conditions of the blue phrase above. And I guess you were addressing the conditions of the red one.

On the Front Range in Colorado there is a disaster of this nature building. There is mountain side after mountain side of spruce trees that have been killed by some sort of needle worm or something. The major outbreak was over 30 years ago. Hillside after hillside filled with dead spruce trees - essentially huge piles of dry kindling if you know how a spruce tree is constructed.

One day something is going to happen, it may be an asshole with a can of gas, or it may be a lightening strike, but it will start. And there will be a fire of epic proportions. A true fire storm. That puppy will crown out and head South faster and faster until it is almost an explosion. When one considers all of the recent building on the front range... it will not be pretty.

And its going to happen. The Forest Department is freaked over it. They were 30 years ago. But the "tree hugger" mentality of liberal powers that be has kept logging operations off of the front range.

So, it may be an asshole - or a number of assholes that start the fire, but the condition has been more than 30 years in making.

I guess that is the foundation of my question. Who started the fires is one thing. But how the country side got to the state that that many fires could pop up all over the place is another. How did the countryside get in that state? It wasn't just last week, "when the wind came up..."

Damn...

Today's lives and centuries of history... It has to be a nightmare to walk back in on what is left.

The countryside had no areas with dead trees. It was huge, green, very much alive trees up in the mountains... and olive groves... I think 1.5 million olive trees were burnt down and who knows how many million fir, pine and other kinds.

So I don't understand your question. If somebody finds it a good idea to burn the country down, it's the easiest thing in the world to find any number of lowlifes who will cruise the country on stolen bikes or cars and leave mechanisms or start fires... and they wouldn't charge much for the service.
The countryside was fine and healthy.... the sickness is in the minds of certain people.

Not really. To get through it, mostly.

I need to more or less print a retraction. There were some "extenuating circumstances" that Ms. Nikki sort of neglected to tell me the other day. It has been a tear filled and mortifying time getting it straightened out with the pastor's wife.

And in the long haul, I suppose it is my fault. I trained her up, more or less, and turned her loose on the world. Therefore, I am going to start going to church with her on Sundays, and am going to get more involved with her in a spiritual sense. She so wants to sing in church - so I am going to help her with that as well. We go into "rehersal" starting this Sunday. First thing on the list is to get her to sing without the false vibrato... this is not going to be fun. As we talked about it, CJ shuddered and said "good luck". I immediately had an image of her ducking her head under her piss pot and diving over a log for cover...

And me in church at this time... a large internal wrestling match there. I've got to get my attitude right, and right now my attitude is enjoying sucking...

LOL - it is not important. I am thinking we are having a communication snafu here.

That sounds like it is going to put a serious hitch into the Olive industry as well...

This is my newest song - it is actually quite hard to play and sing (if one tries to play the arppegios that Alison's guitar player plays while she sings...

...and me and the lyrics can sort of relate - I know this feeling.


A Ghost In This House

I don't pick up the mail
I don't pick up the phone
I don't answer the door
I'd just as soon be alone
I don't keep this place up
I just keep the lights down
I don't live in these rooms
I just rattle around

I'm just a ghost in this house
I'm just a shadow upon these walls
As quietly as a mouse I haunt these halls
I'm just a whisper of smoke
I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire
That once burned out of control
You took my body and soul
I'm just a ghost in this house

I don't care if it rains
I don't care if it's clear
I don't mind staying in
There's another ghost here
He sits down in your chair
And he shines with your light
And he lays down his head
On your pillow at night

I'm just a ghost in this house
I'm just a shadow upon these walls
I'm living proof of the damage
Heartbreak does
I'm just a whisper of smoke
I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire
That once burned out of control
And took my body and soul
I'm just a ghost in this house
Oh, I'm just a ghost in this house


I ran across this coming up with some "listening" home work for Nikki. I'm going to have her sing along with Alison, and to try to emulate her sound.

Isn't it about time for a "happy" song....?

Well, you will get a break till about Wednesday. It will be about that time she blows through your part of the country. But watch out then.

Morning all!

Headed to rehab. It's a bitch getting up early enough to not have to run to get to the class.

Have a wonderful Friday! Send Beamer some energy, she needs it.

LOL - I got two or three happy songs...


Stand a Little Closer to the Mill

If ya want a little heat you have to draw a flame.
If ya want a little sweet, you have to squeeze a little cane.
If ya want a little wheat, you have to plant some grain,
and stand a little closer to the mill.

Yodel - lay - heeeeeeeee

...so listen to the truth in the words that I sing.
If ya want a little lovin' you need to shake what you bring,
and stand a little closer to the mill.


There's two more verses to the thing but I am having to pull it off the CD and it is going slow. The timing of the verses is a bitch. It is another one that sings and plays at different speeds.

I'll have a look around the house, and if I see any of that energy stuff, I'll be sure to send it to her. Best I can tell, it's been a couple years since I seen any energy around here, but I may find some under the couch or something...

You'll be safe on the roads till late tuesday

dam double dam this sure has tested my patience.....

Sleep is so hard to come by...I fell asleep for about an hour last night and then I had a nightmare.

At this point Wednesday can't come soon enough!!!!!

Well it's Friday what the hell happened to our friday song???

Have a great week-end family...hitting the`road sunday morning and playing leap frog across the country

Think I found it .... in the closet, behind the moving boxes, not the ones marked with an X but the one that says : Do not move for fear of nervous breakdown ... I'm so happy it's Friday. I've said it more than once, this week was pure craziness unleashed, for me.

I am sending lotza good energy your way Beam ... I am so excited for you and hoping your very safe on the ride.

Blooze : I love the Ghost In This House song. It hits one, really deep. Very humbling my friend. AND I'm happy to hear about your helping the girls with their church and singing. Wishing I was a fly on that wall ...

Mav : Easy does it my friend. Before long Beam will be there mother henning you and you'll have no idea what hit you, but will love every blessed minute of it, lol

Ran : I am filled with remorse and sympathy. Just when one thinks their life couldn't get worse of have it harder, we see the light of life open up and swallow us with it's dawning of terror ... which seemed to have visited your neck of the woods. I am praying for you and yours ... and hoping everything gets brighter for ya'll, soon !!



All my love my friends and I hope you have a weekend filled with nothing but love and wonderment ~~

Morning Blooze


RhymeFairy, thank you. It was a hard blow to all of us, whether directly affected by the fires or not. Thinking that there's cold brain(s) out there who aim at lives in order to attain more money/power/influence... well, it's unsettling to say the least.
