Post a picture... any picture

I picked the pics. off the web. But that one big one with the eyes IS about what my wife told me to focus into and on that area in our neighbor's tree. I'm smiling bigtime now again thinking about that Owl Looking at me probably with the same zoom capability as the binoculars I was looking through. It looked like we were 10 ft. apart through those lens...LOL... It was COOL!

Well I've read a million articles throughout my life. I've read about 20 books in the past few years. I think reading articles and books just sticks with you. The spelling is tough sometimes. Thank God for spell check!! I type words and it doesn't look right sometimes and so I ask my wife (if she's here in the back room) and she tells me how to spell it. I'm usually right but it JUST doesn't look right.

I have a great memory and can recall emotions and thoughts quite well. I can remember getting hit with a big clay boulder when I was 11. I can recall me climbing up this big clay hill and my friend yelling "Tony! LOOK OUT!" I looked up instead...BAM, this big boulder hit me above my right eye. Spitting my eyebrow. I remember the hit but not if I went to get stitches. Strange. Now at 61, I remember 20 years ago the ol... walking into a room and forgetting what I went into it for. But then I just stand for 30 seconds and trace my memory bank and the reason usually pops in thank God. One day it won't I'm sure. Lol. But tons of memorable events are in my head. Millions of memories and how does GREY MATTER store them?! It's supernatural and Miraculous to me.

I learned to type 15 years ago and if I feel good, I can keep my thoughts in check enough for my fingers to type the scenarios that are in my memory.

I could be more descriptive about events but not quite a 90% photographic memory of them. Time of day...NOT at all. Temp...maybe, sun shining or not...maybe and most likely. I've always had a weird knack for remembering events that are meaningful or strange and odd or traumatic.

I told Drew about a "Deliverance" style event that's burned into my memory and my wife's too big time. No...nobody had to squeal like a pig. But the characters and scene sure were remarkably similar.

I'm laughing about it now...but we ( my wife and I ) were walking in disbelief almost the whole event. I was ready..., my wife just wanted to get the F away from this antique/thrift store that had yard sale signs posted back at a main road. It took us about 3 miles to get to this place. Now I'm starting to sweat thinking about it again...

Has anybody seen the movie " Wrong Turn"? That's what it reminds me of too. Scary!

I did buy this thing there though...I just had to take the extra risk for some stupid reason.
This picture is from the web too. I know I have a close up of mine but I just couldn't find it after scrolling through a thousand pics. But this is exactly like it. No lightbulb in it. It's just a small great rendition. My wife would argue I risked our lives for longer than need be! She wanted to get the H...out of there after her first step in. She was shaking and sweating too after we were back on the road. But I just had to buy this lamp before I left! It was the ONLY thing in there from this century I think.


Even the clothes they were wearing...weren't from this century I don't think. And there were quite a few of them but no boys or men. I'm sorry, maybe a little boy...and an old man and older woman and some girls and a baby too... One girl or two was pregnant and filthy dirty. All of them. Their faces, clothes and the place too. There was carpet on the floor but you couldn't make out a pattern. There was one but I think it was 100 years old and never vacuumed.

Where were the men who impregnated a couple of these women? That's what we started to think about ( we found that out mentioning our thoughts to each other after we were heading away) the longer we were in there. My wife said the F bomb to me for staying in there too long I believe and she never says that word... but once a year maybe.

There's more to this story too. The environment and the sun rays TRYING to shine into it... There's even a little more to this memory.

Tony M, I do exactly what you guys do to see the great birds. I hear them and I try to find them in the trees. I forget where you live?

Walter got a haircut yesterday! And today he's helping me in the basement build yet another amplifier stand!

Cute, cute and cute!

Oh, I remember those commercials. Yes, I do.

Not to change the subject or anything but the EMI power amp in this Radio Shack (yes, Radio Shack ) 1961 catalog page scan caught my eye this morning.

Look at that bad boy. Toroidal PT and OPTs -- there really is nothing new under the sun.

Russ would have changed all that wearing metal gloves in the rain.

This might be some new regulation. All around me in SE Pa they are replacing all of the older poles with much bigger ones 10 feet taller. Same in NJ on my commute.

Nice new poles but lots of construction traffic everywhere.

I without a doubt love the hawk's expression and it's environment behind it. BEAUTIFUL picture!

But seeing that hawk looking into the camera KNOWING it's something that's not normal and I can see its brain thinking away about it being there. I also wonder what that wire behind it is for! Is it a communications tower guide-line?

I wish we could click LIKE and LOL together...I would have.

It looks like there's NO human footprint at all behind it. NICE for that Hawk and its family if it has one.

I LOVE those spy cams that are set up above or beside Eagle nests around our country. My wife loves to watch as the eggs hatch and then how gently those HUGE Eagles step around their babies or feed them scraps.

OHHHH, OK.

It looked like a real photo on my PC.

Just think of that mortar stain he's going to have around his left hip.

Well, it ain't the mythical black paint, but it looks like we have another supplier, besides The Prince of Darkness
