Takes about an hour but all true.

It is on schedule and in line with the vacuum of information coming out of the most recent Trilateral Commission meeting.. Bilderberg is coming up June 3-6 in Spain.  World news and personal news all bad.  Septic backed up, teeth hurt now, leg tumor still there and unemployment ends June 2.  Zero relevant jobs on the horizon and not enough pellets to get through another winter.  So much for survivalism.

Oh look carcinogens in shampoo and laundry detergent.

Poem huddled

between two strings of html.

I used to be a typesetter

in the days before there was

desktop publishing.

I was apprenticed

to printers who had worked

hot type but I ended up

working for a company

using the new fangled

cold type

Still, if you wanted

to see something in actual

fonts, you couldn’t just

do that at home, well

you could use stencils

or practice calligraphy,

but it’s not the same.

* * *

When I read printed type

informing me of crimes

against the planet,

hatred arises!

There is nothing at all

wrong with that.

Images also arise

of mean faces and

arrogant gestures,

of giant granite towers

blocking the way

Fear arises,

and great apprehension,

looming as it

arises.

Well you get the picture.

What appear to be negative

phenomena, they arise.

And I believe in love!

And compassion!

Oy vey!

I do not wish

to make light of this,

of course.

Everything in the mind

arises from the mind.

The obstacles as well.

There is nothing

wrong with that.

We create these obstacles

in order to strongly avoid

becoming that which

causes hatred and pain

to arise

in the mind.

Sunday Train: Getting Ohio’s 3C Line Into Cincinnati

Burning the Midnight Oil for Living Energy Independence

While EnergyFreedom Transport is an issue that has been brought back onto the “front burner” (so to speak) …



… there has been ongoing work on this front ever since the supply-drive oil price shocks of the 70’s and 80’s.

Ohio won $400m in competitive HSR funding from Stimulus II, to do the first work toward a 110mph Triple-C corridor, supporting a starter Amtrak-speed service at first and then building toward a 110mph.

But it aint 3 C’s without Cincinnati, and getting into Cincinnati is tricky.

1 Anger mounts as oil blackens Louisiana marshes, beaches

by Stephane Jourdain, AFP

41 mins ago

VENICE, Louisiana (AFP) – Anger mounted Sunday as heavy oil blackened Louisiana’s marshes and beaches and efforts to cap the oil which has gushed into the Gulf of Mexico for more than a month ran into more delays.

Initially scheduled to begin on Sunday, BP’s latest attempt to plug a leak in a ruptured pipe 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) below the surface, the “top kill”, is not expected to get under way until Tuesday at the earliest.

As crews used robotic submarines to position equipment to inject heavy drilling fluids into the well and then seal it with cement, the amount of oil being suctioned up by a mile-long insertion tube slowed to 1,360 barrels a day from the previous average of about 2,100.
