Phos-Chek

Saw a truck pulling a tanker of Phos-Chek into town yesterday morning.  Didn't have my camera so according to the rules of the internet it didn't happen. 
I wondered if there are long term effects (good or bad) in the areas this gets dropped. 

spinning

The Merry-Go-Round used to be in just about every park across the country.  Making me dizzy remembering this park toy.  I've had enough spinning around and around playing this silly game.   I might vomit on your shoes. 

MOUNTAIN CENTER: Brush, timber blaze blackens 1,000 acres (update)

http://www.pe.com/local-news/local-news-headlines/20130715-mountain-center-evacuations-under-way-as-fire-grows.ece

A brush and timber blaze has blackened at least 1,000 acres in the San Jacinto Mountains overlooking Hemet where two mountain highways are closed, small-scale evacuations have been ordered and officials say the flames may burn for days.
“I’d say the potential is for several thousand acres,” said U.S. Forest Service spokesman John Miller.
There’s no likelihood that Highways 243 or 74 will reopen before Tuesday, July 16, he said.

Fireworks are illegal in Riverside County between gun shots, bottle rockets, and M-80's you'd think I lived around a bunch of patriotic Americans.   Three houses fly an American flag in my neighborhood and that includes mine.

street person

I don't get to this area often. Lots has changed here in the past 6 months. One of the major retailers has closed it's doors. The parking lot has street people weaving between cars. This guy was called over to a Cadillac and after it drove off frantically pulled everything from his pockets placed it sided by side in little piles. He used his fingers to count off numbers as he spoke them. Two guys approached him and he gave something to them. He continued to hunch over his belongings. Gathered the odd assortment together and put it into his pocket. He was moving in a peculiar way that resembled the "potty dance" when a person needs to use the toilet. He walked off with a gait I would call happily limping along.

Reche Canyon

Plywood fence = Marijuana farm

The neighborhood and adjoining properties are put at risk.   This needs to be stopped immediately.  Lawmakers do your J-O-B.  If you think it's a good idea to grow marijuana in a residential zone you should have to live next to a pot farm.  Restrict marijuana growth to Industrial Zoned property. 

The thing about driving down a dirt road.......

it happens,
it conjures up images
images of
strange lights, little green men, hill billies, deranged killers, legendary beasts.
Usually I see rabbits,
but it would
be an interesting sight
to see any of the imagined possibilities

hint of blue

Had I known, I would have turned around here. I thought it was going to be like any other day. It wasn't even 10:30. Things had begun to spin off course, or they took the path of least resistance. My assuming there is a course could be the entire problem. Twenty four hours haven't passed. Here I sit accused. The only thing that can clear my name is a security camera. I thought I made a valid point. I didn't realize that would trigger plan b. The smear. Like collecting bacteria to grow a culture, the smear works in the same manner. Collect a random sample and allow it to grow. The culture it creates is perfectly suited for certain life forms to thrive, for a limited amount of time. It's a rapid process without concern for longevity. Easily discarded and forgotten. The process had begun. I think it will be their undoing, I just have to wait and see. The time in between, allowing a new realization to emerge. Hopefully those affected will be able to live more completely.   This little incident will be forgotten in the shame of lessons learned.  It caught them off guard the Lord works in mysterious ways.

 the slightest hint of blue in the upper left corner... I am immensely pleased with this picture

John 10:11-12 The Good Sheperd

 

It were magical yesterday

While walking I encountered an extremely large Bullmastiff.   He sat down and stared at me 100 yards away. I turned to go back the way I came. He jumped up and ran straight at me. The loose skin around his mouth showed his full set of teeth with each bound as he quickly gained on me. He looked ferocious. I stopped walking and screamed which got his attention. I told him to stop, which he immediately did.   Eventually I found out he was a tail wag, wiggle butt, slobber all over you type of dog.   I remember thinking when he first saw me and sat down how he looked like one of those Chinese statues of a temple guard dog.  I just realized I was too distracted by the extremes (panic turned relief) I didn't snap a picture of him.

This is the area, over by that place, near those things where the stuff is always like it is

Every once in awhile something happens and that is all..

If thoughts are things

I wonder how common it is for people to feel frustrated.  Frustration caused by the inability to communicate.  To have people hear what you are saying.  Having your words and ideas twisted is like not being heard at all.  To cast your pearls before swine, in a world of pig faces, where the oinking never ends, silence is golden.  Being understood is not as urgent as oxygen or water to the human lifespan.

and on the 8th day God created sterno

Camping essentials King Cobra, Royal Platinum, and sterno in a sock.

The criminal is the victim of crime.

Yesterday a guy I know was approached by a seemingly friendly group of guys.  One of the guys got close enough to put his hands in the victim's pocket.  Pushed him down then ran off with cash and miscellaneous pocket contents.  Why do clothing manufacturers make pockets?  It makes people with the criminal gene susceptible, and it's just not fair.  A weak minded person is led to believe treasurers trove are hidden in pockets.  It's a trap designed to keep a person with the criminal gene controlled.  They can't help themselves and clothing manufacturers know this.  Designing a wallet to fit inside a pocket proves this conspiracy.  Encouraging people to carry cash and credit cards in a pocket is, without question, well designed mind control.  The poor unsuspecting person with the criminal gene falls prey to this enticement every time.  It just not fair to control people in this manner.  Every time you put on a clothing item with a pocket you are part of this problem.  You are treating a vulnerable group of society unfairly and keeping them forever oppressed.  Look deep into your own life and count your many blessings.  You have to realize that your pocket is a tool of a maniacal force in this world and it can lead mankind to ruin.  For the love of goodness stop the mass production of pockets today.  Give the person with the criminal minded gene the same opportunities you have been given.  Give away all your worldly possession, walk the earth naked, and barefoot.  Open yourself to all the possibilities remove the temptation don't hide yourself out of fear, reveal yourself to the lowest common denominator.
