This is probably a cactus.

 Whatever it is it makes a pretty flower that blooms at night.

 This is not the flower. This is a very cold DragonFly in a sassafras tree....

 This is the flower in bloom.

And this.

God has a sense of Humor.
  And I love it.

The columns at the top of my blog are the same ones here - in. The column all the way on the right as you look at them from the bayou fell to natures forces combined with time. The one next to fell to a moment of inattention on the part of man. Something I think we all ahould be able to relate to as I know of no one who hasn't experience a moment or two. This kind of damage is irrepairable due to the nature of the construction of the columns. Hand made bricks from local plantations probably fired in a kiln on Walnut Grove. Modern day bricks are made of different stuff and do not mix well with century and a half old bricks. Those of us familiar with them know that they will eventually all fall down but we see no reason to hurry the process, nor are we skilled in preservation practices. I am content to let nature have its course and walk cautiously around similar things. I'll have more to say on it later, but it is bedtime and I have to work tomorrow. First Christian Church is alive still and we wish to keep history alive as well.

To the Gravy I say Yo bro, you right on. Write as the Spirit guides and work to please God. If mankind don't get it, it is on them, not you.To GB I say, I'll stick to tobasco. 10K is plenty warm enough.

And to my 9 grandaughters I say "Good night sweathearts, good night." And lastly I say to my two grandsons, go to bed and go to sleep. You have school tomorrow.

Love to all the rest in the world and the ships at sea..

Surfing with the alien. The answer to many questions.

Surfing With The Alien. Nice piece of  guitar work by Joe Satriani.

Surfing with the aliens; not the same thing.

Bugs bug me. Always have and probably always will. At least, until the worms get me. It's not a major concern with me though. I think God's plan is the best and I get a new body in that. I hope you do as well.

Other bugs cause me to desire to inflict duress upon programmers who mess with my site. If you was a real programmer you'd develop improvements under the appropriate free licenses and not be such a dweeb.

Yes, you did see me use the word "dweeb".

and you, dufus, are one.


In case you haven't guessed, some twit injected an advertizement bug into one of my older machines. XP is rapidly becoming an open target. Wait for the next version of windows if you must stay with  the olde crowd or go ahead and fruit up or get a real system with the penguin.

Shine on Lord.
