That's HILARIOUS!!!!
Needs its own thread, but thanks for posting THAT, HERE!
As for me...I'm havin' a cow that Bevin hasn't said boo since forgetting my last b'day.
I should send her a subtle prompt.

This might go over her head like one of the things Maggie throws at Jiggs.

And in this one, the character "Pa" comes out lookin' like Locker! No way that's gonna fly.[Click to View YouTube Video]
I could just email her and say what a good Fathers' Day it's been so far.
I SHOULD just STFU and let her step in it, but is that bein' a good dad? But then she's not under my roof, so I'll just keep hopin' she checks in.
Think I'll watch some golf, providing that I can find a free stream. It's what Boomer would have done.

In other Sierra Nevada news, the Dunaways are now back in their trailer on Road 222 by North Fork. They and the rest of the park's residents were told to flee/evacuate RIGHT NOW because of the fire the other day.
Thanks be!

Boomer B and Woodrow W, must have been a fad back in the old dayz.
Michele's dad apparently didn't get the memo Bull (or Lon) W.
This went nowhere somewhere else. I think it's pretty cool though.

Do computers 'dream' in color?
Each of the layers of the neural network deals with different features at a different abstract level, so the features complexity that is generated depends on which of the layers that is chosen to be enhanced.
hmm that next one too needs deeper thinking, in order to make a good comment on,
than the heat and humidity today allow....
let me drink some lemonade fresh made and get back to you (88z88) ya' know that made me laugh it was the ole' fail to hit the shift key I meant to add two *(asterisks) infront of a smallz like i just did . . .
oh thats right it is this foolish ness that is to blame for the traction that I do not atain....
z,where was this ?? I have been reading fantasy stories to the kids ,all about dragons and secret passages like the doorway in the cliff face.
z thanks for pointing out the one finger typing
it was a stoke of Jeery ness.
the photos of the fawns! we, here too, are finding late folds, pronounced folls ? but spelt the way i did it? I will have to check I think, any way we saw a mom and spotted fawn
on a one-way road that zig zags down a steeper grade than what seems safe.
imaturity on this sluce-way of a roadway may be fatal. It is good fun to take flat landers on this drive.
maybe pics to follow?
and for the united stayes of confusion,
and to the walls on which we stood tall
for liberty and cosmic entwinment through music and live events for wich we worked and lived to enjoy,. ///well then again be may knott
may be hot nott.
the line of the letter z's below reads very different in the edit window, when i try and type it out verbatim it comes out all z,ese. but if i try and skip a line ??
then the &# 378
then the letter z and the same repeating letters and alternating numbers to produce a confusing jumble on the edit screen
V V V V V V
,&#,378, : ,;z ,&# 380 ,&#,378, : ,;z ,&# 380 ,&#,378, : ,;z ,&# 380 ,&#,378, : ,;z ,&# 380
,&#,378, : ,;z ,&# 380 ,&#,378, : ,;z ,&# 380 ,&#,378, : ,;z ,&# 380 ,&#,378, : ,;z ,&# 380
if i remove the spaces, it reads

Never a purpose or even a theme Tripmind, a whale of a dab will do ya
Or just half of that at a time,
It is that way Here cause that is all we got and we want to make it last, it will not last so we stretch it out.
Nice of you to share, and for some the Link you did is in fact better , and proffered
No no preferred ,
(some times the play of words is play, and more often it is some auto correct)
But share,
and do not be deterred if the first blush is only mildly received
or the caustic nature of responses, that may bite but do not come in fours or eights
well we'll see the blight if your shares have been right, so..
So far - the Floyd is always in my kitchen sink and thanx for a long call at after four it was a cool knock on the door ,.
I have stopped at some thing you posted some where else and made a mental note ,
I can not say what it was you said or if I even agreed with you , or was it all pictorial ?
That is a favorite of this thread a picture of interest that is well focused or not to convey nothing,
or humane suffering and the pathos of life. Or not.
Pictures, all 'n any - of the joy of the sun rise on a favored cliff ,younge children playing and geezers climbing rocks -
well any one climbing any thing is also always welcome too.
also if it swells, ride it ! is a way of life, as is a locals only need to respect thehostsfrom /of California.

If you wanna post a vid, I've emailed the instructions.
The accepted practice for leaving a link to a video is to put the performer's name/song title in this form above the link. I always drop the 's' from the link, as in
Pink Floyd/Echoes

Very insightful comment there upstream from tripmind. Makes a fellow's mind start to wondering/wandering.
Was this thread created on purpose? Out of kindness? Could a neural net do as well?
Neural nets are actually very cool technology for some purposes. When my credit card was lost or stolen, it detected an abnormal pattern in "my" spending suddenly and declined the charges and then instructed an actual person to call me and ask "do you know where your credit card is tonight".
I wonder when the last TV ad asking about your knowledge of your children's whereabouts aired?
1980's??????????????????????????????????? (ha i got it too)
Well some of the people can be part right 1/2 of the time (2011).

Eiger Bob sez:
My kidz are all on ice.
Randy turned MFM on to Knut Hamsun, author of Growth of the Soil (Nobel in Lit., 1920.
MFM swears he talked to his daughter just after his birthday, but hasn't heard from her since. He doubts she is lecturing at either Wildern or the Yosemite Museum.

I have here the answer to the question that started the ball rolling and I awoke to too,
(Pick your favorite Pink Floyd trx)
z,
Those not busy being born . . . . . And the rest you already know.
(??old school, Sonny Terry? Bromberg? take me to the'lectric chair)
And the TRoosevelt rider Quote too - the dark spirit rarely follows close to the swift rider or
Some such, but that is fixable if I start that now thi the meaning of flames to me won't get posted.
Trip report and rehashed climbs to send read on. . . ,!
A typical trip to the grocery store, in 87 degree heat and 77% humidity.
In this sort of heat I tend to get the dropsees, and it gets to me the most
when I take the camera where I have little to no hope of finding anything to shoot.
So it was that sitting, sweltering, in the now shut up parked car,
I decided to leave the thing in there to bake and then test the fixed focus.
so I strolled into Shop-Rite, from half way into the thirty acre parking-lot - So Hot for June !
The shimmer of the heat reflecting off the pavement,
and that smell
of everything rotting and the exterminator smell just a wiff, but you know the poison is there.
Ozone mixed with exhaust fumes but no homeless population, or dirtbagers This is almost across the street and this, it is close to where I fell off the ice. . . Urban Ninja style.the last one is wide and at an angle to make the Veedavoo crowd drool . . .
but only for a small bit it is almost not a cliff,
more, steep hillside peppered with steeper blocks.
I was thinking that if the high temps were to slack a bit
it is time to get a belay for the seven or so lines that i have climbed on top rope
then I will pick between the names ; Carwash cliff, or Stews View,
either will need to be described in parts as there is a split ridge type thing going on .
anyhow it is too hot right now, and Iwas at the door to the ShopRite Store,
AIR CONDITIONING THANK GOD...
as I was strolling in, as I said, I had left the camera in the hotbox car.
what??. . . LOOK AT THOSE KICKS!!..... what's attached to those flames?
She was just so sweet but I could see the scowl erupt
across her mothers face, as this sweaty troll,
almost half as wide as tall . . .and at that, short,
only rising to her daughters chest,

So where are all the white varappes?
All the white head bands?
And all the "white stuff" the weathermen speak of?

And for that matter, all the white va-rappers?
By their shoes, their wives, and their cars shall you recognize them.
In the Western Movies, it's obviously the hats which call the tune, for good or bad.

My father seldom watched football, but he sure knew White Shoes Johnson by reputation and he began doing the funky chicken on the golf course after making a great shot.
Billy was electric and more fun to watch than a barrel of other punt returners.

Uh, I'm not certain, but I believe I was viewer #103 of that particular video.
I was parked way out in the kokomo. Reception wasn't that good. Wedding was a rocker. As I recall, it was a white wedding.

Cfcgtg and every aboriganal swear and gesture, I lost that post!,,, Olof gone well put once and not, I tell you, a short sit to do that - short duty hat - the wife threw me off the magic box at three hours in with photo shop and after checking in I left to walk the dog and eat . . .
I came back and read what z. Had said and when I hit save it clipped only half.
The easy way down? or up? there is just so much wrong with that.
it led to my posting the thread about paying to spend the night on a porta-ledge.
I kinda liked this for its sunniness and old school lean. . .
