two blogs this week
The Human Time Project is a concept I intend to support---the project revolves around watches and health care in the 3rd world--The Human Time project offers for sale the below illustrated watch, selected for simplicity and ability to withstand the elements. If you purchase one watch--an identical watch is provided free to 3rd world health care workers...having a accurate timepiece is an essential part of medicine from the taking of a pulse to administering medicines at the correct times....this is a non-profit operation which offers both a reasonably priced watch and the ability to do good....I like this concept and am investigating.....I hope to support it with a future purchase. Take a look at the below website--and if you are planning on purchasing a watch in the near future please think of them.
Winter has shown up now here in southern New Mexico...it appeared this weekend with temperatures in the low 20's overnight...once again all the plants are brown and dead or sleeping till spring...we are planning our gardens with a new concept in irrigation for the spring---the droughts and increases in temperatures here makes planning the watering system to be built into the gardens prior to spring, of utmost importance...
Dark in the mornings when i leave for work and dark 12 hours later when i return...I feel like a Morlock in the winters---
and with the plant world dead or sleeping it feels like the road out there...
Throughout the winter I try to focus and work on small things, personal things. There are good things about the winter tho---like huddling up on the couch with JoJo and our Boston Terriers watching movies in the dark afternoons.....Putting my military surplus clothing/equipment to real work against the weather and being warm, comfortable and organized because of thinking out problems in advance....the winter for sure makes you appreciate the spring and green when it returns....
I have been doing remarkably better mentally at work---for reasons unknown to me---it may be the tattoo decision the mental freedom it has provided---it may be that fewer and fewer people think that their particular party or religious group has the solution to our overwhelming problems and have ceased their personal propaganda attempts against me-- It has become easier to survive the stupid these past few weeks which is quite a change for me..........
Vehicles--i am going to attempt to clean and organize vehicles this week if the weather allows--the winter is a bitch---I need to wash and organize both the Prius and the VW camper---the Prius is averaging 50.7 on a daily basis and of course is running like a clock---the VW is winterized for the drop in temperatures here to the low low 20's....the vehicles need a good cleaning/organizing due to the winter weather.....
This Wednesday I go in for the first consultation for my left forearm tribal tattoo----------------- the big, visible one--------you first work on a design with the artist---i know what i want it is merely a matter of communicating...then there is a second consultation to check that what she has designed to judge if it meets your approval before the third appointment, the actual application...............so I am about a month away from the first application session on the visible forearm tribal.
I'll be working through all the upcoming, normal people, holidays---saving my leave for late January or early February when I'll take 2 weeks off to do some work around the homestead towards the spring----then I'll start saving leave again to go camping with JoJo in the V-dub during the summer. We have to design an auto watering system for the garden and install it when we build the gardens in the spring if we wish to leave on summer weekends for camping in the mountains......
Winter is here and an old man's thoughts turn to ACTION FIGURES ?
Mine do anyway--it has been quite a while since i have added to my meager action figure collection...and prowling the net the other day I discovered the Robot from the 1998 film remake of the Television series----LOST IN SPACE....
The remake of lost in space was profoundly beaten up by the critics...but there were several excellent items of notice in the film production, design and special effects---one item of note was the "instant on" combat armor worn by the major West character which would be tremendously excellent to have available in real life--feel threatened and instantly incased in armor against the world--- the new film also put forth a newly designed combat robot....which of course would also be the ultimate real life accessory item so useful for pulling the heads off of surly DMV clerks and so forth...our society would actually be polite if we all were followed about by our own individual combat robot.....
I ordered the above illustrated Robot figure action figure from the Lost in Space Film for 1/3 of the original price. It is new in the box and may be one of the last out there affordable by cretins like myself or possibly just the last one---it's shipping weight is 19.8 lbs. !! but i have no true idea of the size since there is zero information available about this figure...I'll find out when it arrives...this item fulfills both my action figure and robot addiction all in one fell swoop for the winter...you really can't ask for more----i am spending the time prior to delivery picking out a display spot in the nerd cave....
A nation is a society united by a delusion about its ancestry and by common hatred of its neighbours.
