Absolutely no title.....

        Usually I title my blog posts first when I come up
with a theme.  This time is different.  This time I have
no theme .. I have no ideas .. I have no direction.  All that
I have is time and a desire to pass some of it without it
involving a nap.  I do have plans later in the day that
involve some plumbing at camp but I'm working through
some weather issues at the moment so I figured I might
as well waste some of my reader's time as well as my own.

  Without causing any political riff I would just like to state
that I am going to make an honest attempt to spend as much
time as possible out in nature this year.  I am deeply troubled
by the recent huge steps backwards the government is taking
on environmental issues.  Yes the EPA was in need of some
refinements but eliminating the clean water act and the
corporate dumping in Lake Erie will only replace what it took
us years to clean up.  Maybe corporations need fewer restrictions
but ruining our waters and drilling on our national parks simply
for the sake of the almighty dollar seems like a giant price to pay.
A few temporary jobs for the people  and a lifetime of destruction
and huge corporate profits is simply not worth the price in my opinion.

     Somebody ask me a while back if I ever fantasized about things
I never had and wanted.  Let me drop a bombshell here.  Now this
may not be  true for all men but speaking for myself i would have
to answer yes.  Taking it a step further and perhaps sounding like
a perverted old man I have to say 'Hell yes'   lol   Now before you
go off of the deep end on me I am not talking about lustful encounters
with every woman I ever met.  But fantasies can appear in many forms
from a simple meaningful conversation to open honest friendship.
After all a fantasy is nothing more that a wish or a dream and being an
avid dreamer I love dreaming of things that would bore most people.
As to material things... No .. not at all.  I admire nice things and hold
hope that someday I  can acquire some of the things i seek, but no,
material things don't have the ability to smile back at me....

     Speaking of dreams.  Last night I had a dream that I'm sure if I told
one hundred people, one hundred people would swear that I was making
it up.  I assure I am not.  I have no idea where it came from or what could
have prompted it but it was definitely bazaar !  In all of my frequent dreams
I am either lost in a strange city or being chased by someone.  In last nights
dream I was with a group of maybe five or six unicycle riders and we were
attempting to get out of a city for some unknown reason.  Not that we were
being actively chased but I did feel a sense of urgency in our departure.  So
there I was on a eight foot high unicycle in a small group at the end of an
entrance ramp to a busy highway weaving to and fro trying to find an opening
in the traffic to merge.  Having never been on a unicycle before I was surprised
at my ability to even get on let alone ride on interstate.  Luckily I woke up
before the traffic cleared enough for us to get on.  I'm sure that would not have
worked out for anybody involved.  In a related note the arches in my feet seem
a bit sore today and my butt is a bit tender.  Next dream I'm requesting better
shoes and a wider seat.
