I don't get those people anymore--I think like @Looking4-Others, I must be on a list of lost causes. But if they had somehow found themselves at my door, and I had taken the time to answer, it probably would have gone like this: "Yes, I'm sure we have different ideas of Armageddon. I reckon it's happening right now with tRump in the White House."

Well, yes and no. Some insects are actually quite tasty. Inago no Tsukudani--grasshoppers braised in a soy sauce/mirin mixture--for example, is a Japanese bar snack, and I enjoyed them immensely when I lived there. They're getting harder to find, I hear, so they've become kind of a delicacy. Beondegi--boiled or steamed silk worm larvae--are another story. They are sold as street food in Korea, and during the fall and winter, the vile smell of them cooking fills the streets. No thanks! +o( +o( +o(

Good Day Hippies.

It's really good that you were able to do that, and that's why I stay on Facebook--I keep in touch with old friends back home in North Carolina, former colleagues overseas, and even former students in classes I had two decades ago. Like you, I reconnected with my best childhood friend on Facebook a ways back, and we had planned to meet sometime, but something else always came up. A couple years ago, he died of a heart attack. It doesn't pay to procrastinate at this age.

You Have Hippie Soul - To me this is what being a Hippie means to me.

DharmaBum50 comments on Feb 26, 2019:

There's a lot in there (once you get past the grammatical errors), so some of it applies, and some doesn't. For example, I try to be open-minded and nonjudgmental, but if you are a true free spirit, how can you NOT be judgmental of the fascist kleptocracy we are fast becoming? It is also because I am a free spirit that I object to the regimented play lists of classic rock radio that have run a lot of the Sixties music into the ground and seek out the truly innovative stuff that was characteristic of that time and that has largely avoided those lists--Velvet Underground is what comes immediately to mind, along with early Pink Floyd.

That big yellow thing popped out through the clouds briefly this morning, but it has now clouded over again. At least I know it's still there. It's windy as hell, but at least it's not raining, so I won't have to make use of that ark 90 miles north of me after all. Temperatures will be dropping all day, so I can see a fire in the woodstove later on. Meanwhile, I guess I'll cook up some Lebanese food for dinner and continue with my decluttering project.

Last night, there was music at the craft beer place in the next town up, so first off was coffee, aspirin, and lots of cold sparkling water to try and recover from the lingering effects of the 8.9% blackberry porter featured there last night. Defogged a bit, I walked the dog and heated up lunch (a Thai red curry). It's windy and warm today and will rain (as usual) later on. No work until next Friday, so I'm working on my decluttering project until then.

DharmaBum50 comments on Feb 21, 2019:

My experience was similar being a "loner/surfer," especially since I was basically a "holler hippie" in various parts of the South. Out there in the boonies, I, too, indulged in the drugs and music. Glad you chose some musicians who have significant parts of their repertoire that haven't been played to fucking death on classic rock radio. In the experimental spirit of that time, my musical tastes have moved onward into other areas, but I always return to Dylan, the Jefferson Airplane, the Stones, and the Doors.

Happy Hippie Day.

DharmaBum50 comments on Feb 20, 2019:

Sometimes you have to plan shit--for example, if I don't get on the tickets as soon as they become available this Friday, I won't be attending the Marilyn Manson/Rob Zombie concert in Cincinnati in July. When I'm on a road trip, it's a mixture of planning and spontaneity. I have a general route in mind, but when I run across places I like, I stay longer and get to know the place better. My late wife--a real trip Nazi--and I argued about that a lot.

The US of the South -Build wall here.

DharmaBum50 comments on Feb 10, 2019:

Bear in mind that because of our bullshit winner-take-all electoral system, what often goes unnoticed is that there is also a considerable opposition in the "United States of the South." For example, in 2016, yes, tRump handily took my home state of Kentucky; however, there were 628,854 of us who voted for "the other guy" and who will not @Freedompath "fall on their swords" together with the Teanderthals. Bear in mind also that as I look at a 2016 election map, there are plenty of states north of the Mason-Dixon line marked red, including swing states Wisconsin and Michigan. Had Hillary stooped to campaign in those states, we might not be living this nightmare now. And as I look at the abortion bill recently signed in Ohio, I feel certain that the @bobwjr"wall of ignorance and intolerance" could perhaps be moved a bit further north than the Ohio River. Regionalist condescencion such as this post and the comments below serve to do nothing other than piss off people like me and other right-thinking people who find themselves in this part of the world.

Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
