Home at last from the #hippiehirl - My videos came out bad but some of it got recorded by pros. Here is a taste. I'll upload some pix tomorrow. The thing that really blew me away... Four days, thousands of hippies some stayed and camped and some came for a day and on Sunday night when the gospel show was starting - I couldn't find one scrap of garbage or even a cigarette butt on the ground. I'm going back to Hippie Jacks

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five pound note.

And sang to a small guitar,

What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!'

Cowbird is a small community of storytellers, focused on a deeper, longer-lasting, more personal kind of storytelling than you’re likely to find anywhere else on the Web.
Cowbird allows you to keep a beautiful audio-visual diary of your life, and to collaborate with others in documenting the overarching “sagas” that shape our world today.
Our short-term goal is to pioneer a new form of participatory journalism, grounded in the simple human stories behind major news events. Our long-term goal is to build a public library of human experience, so the knowledge and wisdom we accumulate as individuals may live on as part of the commons, available for this and future generations to look to for guidance.

Wildflowers do much more than add beauty to the landscape.

Wildflowers do much more than add beauty to the landscape. They help conserve water, reduce mowing costs, provide habitat for birds, butterflies and other wildlife, protect the soil and save money on fertilizer and pesticides. Also, as Lady Bird Johnson said, native plants "give us a sense of where we are in this great land of ours."

Everyone seems shocked and dismayed that the "government" want to spy on us. I don't understand why "FBI" isn't trending. I've seen it at least twenty times in the last thirty minutes.
Don't be alarmed. They have always had a "backdoor" for this stuff. They see every post and comment. They hear every phone call. Same thing with every tweet and pin and text. Every one of them.
If you want to be alarmed at anything - be shocked that we allow it and even actually want it. Not our own msgs of course but everybody elses. Own up to it. You/We don't want any of THEM (pick you own group) getting away with anything.

Does any of that still bother you ? Is there anything you can do ?

At 3 AM this morning, over 30 Dekalb County law enforcement officers swooped in to illegally evict Christine Frazer and her family from their home of 18 years.
The scene resembles that of a drug bust or a raid on criminal activity, and has left a family consisting of four generations sitting on the curb with nowhere to go.
Officers are now restricting access to the street to all Occupy Atlanta activists who are trying to retrieve the family's valuable personal belongings.

Twenty more minutes.

Twenty more minutes. Almost quitting time. Why do Mondays always seem to take so long to be over. It started out okay, but after lunch, yikes...

Yikes was not the word Tim really thought. He’d learned through endless training sessions to actually think that way. Keep it tight on the inside because it shows on the outside. Tim, it seems tended to think out loud sometimes.

Fifteen left to go. Nothing to do except tie things up and get ready for the ride home. He looked left then right, nobody looking, so he loosened his tie. Just a bit. Not like the boss wanted, but a little bit.

Ten minute mark. Official time to close down files. “Don’t forget to back-up”, he could almost hear the “workplace specialist”. Again, not the word Tim really thought. He could actually hear Jim, in the next “cube” shutting down just a little early. He’d have some explaining to do tomorrow.

Five minutes, almost there. The senior analysts and supervisors began to move about. Mr Jones had his laptop in his travel case already. This was just about the best part of the day. Almost anyway. You could smell the anticipation, taste the freedom just moments away.

Finally, the mad rush to the door. Outside was, well, different. No sitting and waiting and watching the clock. Random looking movement sudden and unstoppable. Some to the bus stop and others to the parking garage. The bicyclists already riding off, free and getting farther away faster and sooner.

One leg over and one leg down. One sudden push and then both on the ground. One look left and another to the right and then, finally. Timmy was one. One with the wind and the sun and free.

Hi
