The Hive and the Town
Numb to the Dumbth
From my youth up I never liked the city.
I never forgot the mountains where I was born.
The world caught me and harnessed me
And drove me through dust, thirty years away from home.
Migratory birds return to the same tree.
Fish find their way back to the pools where they were hatched.
I have been over the whole country,
And I have come back at last to the garden of my childhood.
My farm is only ten acres.
The farm house has eight or nine rooms.
Elms and willows shade the back garden.
Peach trees stand by the front door.
The village is out of sight.
You can hear dogs bark in the alleys,
And cocks crow in the mulberry trees.
When you come through the gate into the court
You will find no dust or mess.
Peace and quiet live in every room.
I am content to stay here the rest of my life.
At last I have found myself.
— Tao Yuan Ming (Tao Qian) Chinese, 365-427

Wow, who is that woman!?!
OT, but important: Are you and Miss Olive safe in Chico at least for now? From what I can tell from the InciWeb map, Chico is some distance to the southwest from the North Complex/Bear Fire, but if the wind picks up again and changes direction, who knows? Prayers still up for you and your Editor.

I need all the humor I can get. Love BRCC vids.
Otherwise, cannot keep up with news as it happens. We were in a blackout for 24 hrs (wind and fire damage) and I’m scrambling to catch up.
Did Mattis talk coup? I doubt it because Woodward is a first class cunt. OTOH, the good general did mess his own drawers when he went anti-Trump on us. So, he is not above reproach.
Will Pelosi, et al., try to flush election night? They’ll have to get through a lot of patriotic ‘Muricans to do it.
Did the USFS fail (or worse yet?) the campers in the Mammoth area, only to have the Cali NG swoop in for a daring air rescue? That’s a rumor but I wouldn’t put it past the USFS, whose egregious mishandling of the forests should make them criminally liable. In my day, the forests were managed, FFS.
Hell if I know anything that’s going on. Not a GFZ here, though. Just saying.
Olive and I are fine. Safe and snug and well away from fires. (though smokey.)
“Olive and I are fine.”
To quote the Bard: “For this relief, much thanks.” And I hope the smoke clears soon.
Alex, ” that woman” is Mrs. Best.
Another good one from BRCC. If you haven’t heard “Quarantine” enough to sing it from memory; well, get with it.
Me LIKEE!!!!!
