A big man has no time really to do anything but just sit and be big.

Have you met Sam I am, or are you two neighbors?

So who is Gulbuddin Hekmatyar? Is he or she one of your neighbors?

I like how you got down low to take the picture of the bridge overpass, that is pretty cool.

Happy Theme Thursday!! Have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day wishes for your wife.

God bless.

Gulbuddin Hekmatyar is an Afghan Mujahideen leader. He's not a real nice bloke, and I'm not sure that he'd make a great neighbour.

Especially if you were a woman. They seem to treat women as lower class citizens in a lot of those countries. I wonder what a woman did to cause such hatred.

There is a long history to the role of women in nomadic, tribal society and the emergence of Islam into that environment. Unfortunately, there exists those who want to exploit their own power base and repress others.

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness.

Here I have tried my hand at the homemade sepia-toned photo. I wasn’t happy with the way that the sun had washed out some of the colours in the original, so had a bit of a fiddle because I like the look on Henry’s face, and didn’t want to pass on posting it. I have a tip for those of you burdened with the great, unceasing weight of parenthood. I have a new recipe, in the vein of the quick microwaved chocolate cake . Get this, microwaved potato chips . I gave them a run on Sunday, Henry liked the so much I did it again last night. Tonight, I shall be experimenting with sweet potato. I think that the ground is open for me to exploit opportunities in the swede, turnip, carrot and maybe even explore in the area of pumpkins. Radical, I know. I’m a boundary-pusher by nature. It's pretty simple, take the potato. Slice it thinly (it doesn't have to be too thin, but thin enough). Lay the slices on the microwave plate, whack a bit of salt over the top and nuke the buggers for five minut
