Title: Cucumbre!
*
Mood: breezy, not tornadic
*
Sound: street noise
*
Thot: "My garden is not as good
as many others..."
*
Of a fact~my garden is a mess.
It's a blessing that the vegetables
i planted can survive amidst the
weeds. The green=hot pepper
plant is producing...and there was
one good sized cucumbre among
the mess. The cherry tomatoes
are beginning to sprout greenly.
Perhaps, in future, i will develop a
system for doing right by my
pocket=yard. On such a day, next
year, you might also notice porkers
floating on air. It is a mildly facetious
prediction. [end: garden report^]

National News: Our friends in Iraq
and Afghanistan are stepping up to
the plate---by telling the well=armed
bullies in both countries 2 cut the crap!
Democracy & Free Elections are the
steam=rollers of civic liberty. And you
can tell the true enemies of G by their
reliance on kidnapping & beheading.
These^ are not political statements...
they are Acts of hoodlum Desperation.
If you dispatch Innocents by the razor
sharpness of your bloody Sword...be not
surprised when You arrive at a well
constructed guillotine. It's a simple
warning, rarely considered. Still, i would
rather notice Dialog abof Death OR
Reconciliation before Vengeance...perhaps
it is too much to hope for.
------------------------------------
Local News: Nature does a devastating
dance on the Eastern seaboard~~with
Floods & Tornadoes. Americans some=how
recovre, at length. Wild=fires consume
acres of Land~~volunteers and specialists
respond to the challenge. These are the
Conditions which Prevail^ Crime & Cruelty
rear their ugly heads & natural heroes
somehow pacify the madness...
Twas ever Thus.

Imagine a werld where such things did not
occur naturally. It's not a place i would
choose to live in. WE have choices~let's use
them Wisely. Let us Glow not only inthe
celebration of our uniqueness, but also
Toward the Transformation of All things.

THUS ends a cool-as-cucumbre soap box. well done.
Love this entry.
I thought people planted veggies just to get the weeds to grow. Didn't realize that people wanted the veggies and not the weeds. Guess I have been doing it all wrong.

wow...u give a better news report that the ppl do on tv! :)
So much is thrown our way to build character during our brief stint here on earth, it is easy for one to wonder why we go and create more to also challenge us. Why can't we all just get along?
Enlightening entry, entertaining at times, excellent work, egghead.
It is a very nice torch indeed. I made one with a little bear holding it, but alas I am OSooo Toooo blonde. I can't getr it to go in a journal. I'm stuck.

Congrats Large on the nominations...Go Log, Go Log!
Love, Carly :)
sir slacbackmacmeister of grandiosity - congrats on your fine and grandiose nomination...!
Soapy=slack, that was a very deep and thought-provoking entry. Well, all but the part about the garden. That was plain sad because it reminded me I bought two bell pepper plants and they're both sitting in the shade - in their original containers -- root-bound and watching all the other plants grow.
Hi Slack, congrats on your nomination. I wish I understood what the heck you're talking about in this here Log! I do like your torch very much, though, sir... sincerely, Albert, aka Madame Glinka
Slack - congratulation on your nomination!!
I'll bet my garden is a bigger weed patch than YOUR garden. And with the rain..it's a lost cause.
Congrats on being nominated! :D
