Thursday 2006-06-22

Note 1
= = = =
Difficult online day.
So difficult/
it's nearly midnight;
and--you see
how far behind I am.
*
Note 2
= = = =
Am going to 00CC00.
Went to bcg 00BB00.
Am changing all my pages
again, and as always, I am
having problems
with color combinations.
*
Note 3
= = = =
Being alive yet dead is a strange condition.
-
Don't know what led me to say that.
I, unlike many others, have
never had a near-death experience,
even though I have often been
nearly dead.

Wednesday 2006-06-21

Note 1
= = = =
You likely know
how memory interacts
with location.
-
Just the same, this reminder:
A couple decades ago
I was told by a younger co-worker
that if it came to me
to go get or do something
from or at a nearby workspace,
but that/ on upon arriving there
I could not remember
why I had come to that place,
the chances were high
that if I returned
to the location where
I had had the thought/
I would/
remember that thought.
-
On that day,
and on many days since,
I have followed his advice
with astounding success.
-
It appears that/ where one's mind,
which is in one's body,
is when/ a thought lights in it/
matters to one's memory:
that one's memory
connects that location
to the thought birthed there
as an aid/
against forgetting.

Note 2
= = = =
Did a mess of weed wacking--
I have a hand grass trimmer--
out on the lot here
before nine this morning,
after I had gotten back from
my mail holder.
Found about a dozen more
fallen twigs.
I also got a few
sticker seeds
on my right pant leg,
and my tennis shoes
got spattered with dirt
and bits of weed leaves.
The sun hadn't yet
quite dried away
all the usual morning dew.
-
I still need to go out again,
but I may wait
until tomorrow.
*
Note 3
= = = = 
Even though I have a pop-up blocker,
I am having to deal with
pop-up ads from a company
I am not going to name.
The other day I sent
an email to that company
to let them know
how hugely annoying 
their ads are.  
I'll bet they laughed,
if they even bothered to read
my remarks.
Actually, the ISP 
on whose pages those ads occur
is probably thereal culprit.
But--after trying
various tactics--
I think I now know how
to handle those ads
in order to avoid
getting
shut down.
-
There are devils lurking
everywhere.

Tuesday 2006-06-20

Note 1
= = = =
Things done and things in the wind:
in the wind are wandering nasty clouds,
but as to what is done,
nothing is ever really done,
although it may look that way.
I done wrote a dirty rap ditty
moments ago, but
I didn't toss it,
just hid it.
-
John Donne once wrote
an excellent poem
on being done.
*
Note 2
= = = =
If you want to feel better,
clean something,
even if it's only a
small space on
your curio cabinet.
*
Note 3
= = = =
Beneath the boat
was a dead frog.
-
Beneath his coat
was a dead dog.
-
Stuck in my throat
is a dead smog.
