 Old sign that reminds me of that optimist saying, "Keep your eye on the dough, not on the hole."

 Midwest style tagging.

He had the whole van to tag and I guess some remnant of respect made him choose the spare gas jug. I have to erase it or else others will claim their own territory.

Parting Words

The good ship Oggy is about to depart for unknown shores. A homeless street musician asked me for a ride to Austin, Texas and that sounded like as good of a plan as any. "I have no money but I sing for food," he said. "Let's go," I responded. Then he said, "Or Eugene, Oregon..." And I said, "Hush. The wind will lead us."

Oggy in the beatnik cafe

The words of Lyndon Johnson ring in my ear, "Is the world gone? We say 'Farewell' Is a new world coming? We welcome it - and we will bend it to the hopes of man."

The Gray Enemy

Don't worry about us!

What they don't tell you about Koala bears at the zoo is that their sexual habits often lead to chlamydia and blinding conjunctivitis. Wildlife vets capture and treat the bear but in their absence another bear has claimed dominance in the forest and the returning bear has to live in someone's back yard. I can relate.

The More Things Change...

I'm getting old and slow or maybe I don't care as much because it took me all day of watching Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do movies and weed whacking the sidewalk to come up with something to write about. No, I'm not going to bore you with how the Koala bear is endangered in Queensland, Australia because their gum trees are becoming suburbs for growing numbers of electrical engineers. I'll keep it simple...yes, the internet is rotting the brains of children. Twitter et all is changing the way kids think and communicate and it's not an improvement but it's an advance. Maybe that's not a simple concept but I'm sticking to it.

Conspiracy

Note to Oggy: don't get hooked into the Doomsday, 9/11 Truther cults on youtube. There is officially so much complete crap on there that I can't take it. People really take a lot of time editing these videos together that make the JFK assassination conspiracy look like an episode of "Who delivered my mail?" The video that made me shake my head and declare there is no hope was titled, "Real reason NASA bombed the moon." Something about how that title is constructed was so perfectly insane that it broke my spirit. I am lonely and sad. Don't ask me why NASA bombed the moon because I didn't watch it. All the narrators seem to be British or Australian...
