  • What is in the basket?

    I go thru dumpsters to find treasures. I found a picnic basket and several other treasures. The basket is a bit old and faded. Even the red and white checkered cloth is faded. I also found some silverware and will have to restart the computer in order to see the memory card in which it is on. The person must of used the two white handled ultensils for salads and the three left one can be used for cutting pies and cakes.The final piece must be from when they visited Australia:

  • What kind of tree is this?

      What kind of tree is this? You can tell what it is by its fruit. This is the pale type of mulberry. Why would someone plant this type of tree instead of a tree that produces this type of fruit: The answer is the following picture: The ground is pretty messy here with mulberry stains. Guess how messy this mulberry is: It is very messy. I'll just show it on the tree:

  • The part of town I am used to

    There are a lot of Guatemalians so they have a gutaemalteca market. This store is famous where a guy walked in bragging about killing someone. The people scoffed so he went home and brought back the dead guy's head. I am feeling in the pink with this picture of a rose. Yes life behind bars. This iron work is not welded but riveted in place. Around my neighborhood is several shrines. I don't know the guy but anyway he is enshrined there.

  • Saturday and Sunday work

    I work unscheduled hours and sometimes I will work Sunday and Saturdays. I get some spare cash by taking down the sun covers for the swap meet booths. This cover has click buttons on the leg and a button near the top of the cover. You can collapse it by yourself or two people simeotaneously can collapse it and put in a small bag. Then there are sun covers that use piping that needs to have screws unscrewed and are slightly harder to take apart. Going to the swap meet an hour before it closes is a good time to arrive and I made about $15.00 for about two hours work.

    I saw this bumpersticker and it made me think: In a way it is terrible how unprepared some kids are educated. They are probably not as smart as a Golden Retriever. That is sad. Let me say that there are some stupid dogs who are not trained so maybe there are more dumb dogs than stupid honor students.

    How smart do you think your honor student is? Most likely my honor student daughters were smarter than any Golden retriever and I would bet a thousand dollars to anyone willing to bet that their Golden Retriever is smarter.

    Sunday I went to help a lady install the Sony media center. It is based on Android sort of and has the ability to connect to the internet, get Netflicks and surf the internet. The remote is like a small keyboard with a mouse. In addition via HDMI I was able to hook up a new computer (the old computers have only the old VGA)

    With that completed I then went into the gardening section of the work. I planted two rose bushes, replanted some bare spots in the lawn and weeded out some bur clover, white clover and weeds. It was a lot of work and I was tired going home via bus/subway. I was not as tired as this guy who left his bike on the subway: Most likely this bike will end at the lost and found.

  • Falling in love fallacy

    No one falls in love at first sight. What happens is that after a few positive and negative things a few bonds start to occur and people tend to justify it more with love at first sight.

    This topic depends upon how others experience their true love. I would guess some folks had it really easy and other folks keep investing into their love. Let me say that I do not invest much in love and for sure like the lottery ticket winners, the more you invest the more likely you are going to win (at love or whatever)

    How much love needs to be invested? In the Big city if you are faced with lots of love choices, then the ones with jealous lovers will tend to stay with the jealous lover. Maybe that is my downfall, my ex wife had one other love and she did not ever see me jealous. I suppose if I was a more jealous lover, she would fear to stray and think that I loved her more.

    Doing romantic things is one way to reinforce romantic love. Yes we did go up to a cabin with a fire burning fireplace. It was romantic and if we did more romantic things maybe it would have reinforced our love. How many romantic things is needed to keep a marriage? Well there is a balance between a budget and the ability to do romantic things. I suppose we were average in the romantic thingy......

    Religion, are you even yoked or uneven yoked is the Biblical thing. I suppose I am more religiious knowledge wise and performed religiously with her in the things she believed. She did not introduce much that I could hate or see incompatible. A Tenrikyo wife with a former Christian Husband...did that help to doom my marriage? Strangely near the end she wanted to go to the Christian Church and we got counseling and that still did not save or marriage.

    Sometimes like true love there is the destiny that people are just not meant to be. I hope she is happy with her love and for me, I get to kick back and observe about love for a while
