More death. Just heard an ol pal of mine from my wilder days has died, three days out of work release. Crazy cat used to follow the Grateful Dead back in the day. Found dead in his hotel room, cause of death as yet unknown, but knowing old Thompson, 'twas probably an overdose of something heavy.

Shot of vodka in his honor. Here's to old fuzzynuts, may he rest in peace.
Sorry about your friend, Muskie.
R.I.P.

Deteriorating or under construction? Under construction. The timbers are evidently used to hold up parts of the structure while it gets worked on. I'm not familiar with these construction practices.

Just a shot taken from the bus window.

In this shot, I was trying to capture the street vendors wandering between lines of moving cars, hawking their (the vendors') wares.

For space consideration, and the entreaties of Grandma, I left the Nikon at home. All my photos will be shots from the phone. Sorry.

Under your bed
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air

Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men

There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone

Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow

You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home

That's Greatful Dead's Ripple, in honor of my dead Deadhead buddy Thompson. Really kinda sinkin in, now. Yeesh, in the midst of life we are in death.

Happy Monday and New Week!!

Was a good Midsummer celebration. I was with Juho at my in laws (Juho's parents) on Friday, we barbecued and talked and watched
TV to the night. On Saturday I was at my friends cottage. And it was around midnight before I went home. Oh I forgot we was with Juho
and drive with the car on Friday, we did a little trip to see what's happen in other places outside my hometown.
Yesterday wasn't a good day for me at all. It was sunny and hot,but I was so tired that I slept most of the day and it was almost
evening when I finally went somewhere and I was angry to myself why I didn't woke up earlier and did something when it was sunny.

Today it has been raining again. :grr: Now I am even more angry to myself. I'll take it back what I lost yesterday next time I am off from work and it's sunny.

11 death in our country during the weekend. Every year at least few people die on Midsummer. but this year it was quit a lot.
6 people died when they was on the water with a boat ( they fell out of the boat and drown) 3 people died in traffic accidents and
two young teenages died after they had crashed with their motor scooter. One of the teenage died immediately, the other one died
later in the hospital in her injuries.

Have a great day and take good care of you, be well and stay safe!!

Grandpa Great pics! Glad you made it safely!
ghost19 - I can't remember where I read about your broken foot/ankle, so I thought I'd mention it here. Are you OK? Can you drive? Mercy! Be well soon, friend! Did you get a fancy cane - like with a scull or a vulture on the handle?
pegasus216 Poor guy! Hope Kaden gets the hang of braces soon. Our oldest had to have a pallet expander before the braces. That thing was horrible. I don't know how she stood it.

Hey everyone: Monday is over!! Can I get a hallelujah? Can I get an amen?

I've decided to go on to bed and not worry about the pile of dishes. I'm hoping one of the kids feels bad enough about that and does them for me.

I'm heading up to bed to read Blaze. It's been a great read. How did I miss this years ago??
