Rated: 13+ · Book · Personal · #1311011
A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life.
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.

Ferry boat between Solvorn and Ornes across the Lustrafjord i Sogn og Fjordane.




I'm starting a new blog because

Online journal capturing the moment and the memory of moments. A meadow meditation.
#982524 by Kåre Enga in Montana
had over 1,200 entries and that was getting close to full. I don't want to trim it by deletion. I did that once, much to my dismay. Will be used more for poetry.

BOOK
Hoarfrosts from Hell  (GC)
Anything I'm not happy about or that I don't want in my main blog!
#997339 by Kåre Enga in Montana
is still hidden from the public and will remain so. It's more personal and full of angst. Was used for 30DBC for May 2020 and now used for Blogville.

BOOK
Enga mellom fjella  (13+)
Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.
#1317094 by Kåre Enga in Montana

I'll be linking to

is for my opinions. *Laugh*

BOOK

was set up for nature observations and musings.

 
BOOK
Watt's Gnus  (18+)
On topics and today's gnus. Definitely opinionated. Set to 18+ for a reason.
#1439092 by Kåre Enga in Montana
come out of a need to share interesting stuff I come across. When I was young I did a small newsletter named as such. (or was it column in the newsletter? Been 30 years... I think.)

 
FOLDER
Flash Fiction  (GC)
Short 300 word, more or less, "stories" .
#2190336 by Kåre Enga in Montana
is where I put my flash fictions. Maybe someday I'll figure it out and have enough good ones to publish. Ratings vary and some are hidden from view.

I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
STATIC
Space Cadet - the never ending journal  (18+)
Journeys of an Alien Space crew.

I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

Evening. Pleasant temps. Clean air after the sprinkles earlier.

I went to Best Buy and bought a computer. Not 100% thrilled but we'll see.

Sitting here eating peanut butter m&ms because Target is next door to Best Buy.

I took the bus there and back.

Waiting for the #2

Bindweed blooms at the busstop,
shy pink bell-blossoms
twining among green twigs.
They climb over sleepy bushes
to greet us,
we who wait for a ride
having climbed the curb
and planted our flag.

Earlier:

Billie Jo gifted me a salmon dinner and Laxmi a chicken taco. This is NOT the way to lose weight.

I'm tracking the hurricanes.

No one seems to want to talk about covid... burnt out?

Answer to QotD: "Yes, color can be used for communication. Ask any Sunday school teacher or prostitute. They are both acquainted with lust... and colors can be lusty.

We English speakers think of blue; some of us think that it's just one color. Spanish speakers think of celeste and azul. Japanese too. It's interesting to talk to Persians over what is green or blue as we don't draw the line in the same places.

Language is only one means of catagorizing the world around us. Many people are visual and color is essential to knowing whether something is ripe... or even poisonous. I grew up learning the big box of colors. My color vocabulary is more feminine than maculine and my color acuity is great. But my other senses are not as sharp and taste and sound are fading."

AUGUST 21

"Depends on your intention.

Autocrats crush. Parents, teachers, bullies... some crush. Is this bad? Probably for the person being crush while others applaud. Many identify only with winners.

Consensus and agreement work better in most situations. Any relationship that must be sustained cannot survive without it: marriage, friendship, a republic."

37 AQI, 67 degrees at 2:15. Looking forward to more sprinkles. At Butterfly Herbs writing two postcards: Angelo and Norb.

Bought orange honeydew melon, spinach pocket, 5 potatoes.

Pisses me off:

More than a few Americans fantasize about picking up their lives and moving to some seaside villa in a country where your rent is less than a car payment. It's a fantasy because while it might be affordable, few people actually end up doing it. There are things to consider other than rent when moving to a far-flung beach town. Stuff like "does anyone speak English?" Or "is the food edible?" Or "is there Wi-Fi?" Miss these answers and your turquoise-watered fantasy turns into an experience so stressful you end up back in America before getting your first sun burn.
