I have nothing to say
at the moment
that you want
to hear.
The words in my head,
on the tip of my tongue,
would send you away
so, I say nothing
right now
of any import
in order to keep you
close by.
Were you busy today?
Any plans for the weekend?
Meanwhile, my brain and
my heart
overflow, flooded with
want and fear of
goodbye.
Skimming the surface
Superficially chanting
much meaningless think.
How sad that we
dance around,
unsatisfyingly,
what both of us crave,
determined to maintain our
exterior shield
of wanting for naught.
Someone’s Predicting July
Oh, no! Global Warming!
Headline today: "The hottest temperatures of the Northern Hemisphere summer are approaching"
Predictions also suggest a cooling trend beginning in late August.

Once upon a time, I made my living as a prospector ... though that's not the word used today ... probably because I didn't have a burro to follow me. Anyway, we had spent a week or so wandering around the Nevada/Utah border poking around rocks of various types.
I've lots of prospecting experience and have become extremely competent in finding leaverite ore ...
Woke up one night when the fire was dying down and caught the firelight reflecting off my boots. Grabbed my camera and took a picture.
This here's the result.
My feet are getting itchy again - may be heading to the back country pretty soon.
"Can you hear me now?"
Nope!
Just Three
... headlines of the day - to keep the blood flowing.
"Ilhan Omar criticizes Trump's military parade, calls US one of 'worst countries'"
Why is she even still in the country, let alone Congress? She entered under false pretenses and has no intention of honoring her oath of office.
"Russian drone strikes on Ukraine capital city claim US citizen among the dead."
And why would a "normal" US citizen even be there? Should have listened to Ol' Remus. FAFO.
“Alex Padilla is an embarrassment to California”
Oh, come on now. He's way down the list - He's the embarrassment? With the likes of Schiff, Pelosi, Waters, Newsome?
He's a "Who is Alex Padilla?"
I really should stop following the news ...

A sample of some obscure – and some maybe not obscure – tunes from my strange and off-the-wall collection.
Today’s selection: Mrs Miller "Downtown" 1966
OK. I'd say this was extremely obscure but I don't know that "obscure" applies to something that may be found on Utube - as it seems most everything I have can be ...
Some things in a "collection" are there simply to be collected. This selection belongs to that group. My hat's off to ye if you can make through the whole tune ...
Mrs. Miller (1907 - 1997) was an American singer who gained some fame in the 1960s for her series of shrill and off-tempo renditions of popular songs. Miller sang for American servicemen in Vietnam, performed at the Hollywood Bowl and appeared on numerous television talk and variety shows.
"An untrained mezzo-soprano, she sang in a heavy, vibrato-laden style; Miller's voice was compared to the sound of roaches scurrying across a trash can lid."
In spite of this, the song reached the Billboard Top 100 in 1966.
Enjoy ... or something.

Enough's enough. They've been playing "Don't touch me" back and forth for decades.
Block 'em off, seal 'em up, and let 'em go at it.
Thunderdome: Two enter, one leaves.
That is all.
