#stradaeasel  Day Two  1/2/2023

Notes: from facebook

I fixed it!...it hadn't run for months, wouldn't start...now and then I'd pull the chord with wan hope...but it didn't matter!...front lawn dried desert...SoCal is a desert....but the bit of rain turned it green with weeds getting higher and higher....kinda neat really, but not a neighborhood fit...on youtube had found the likely repair-clean the carbuertor nozel...so got to it...a series of tasks: find my tools, empty the gas tank, to the box store for box wrench set for two nuts my socket set couldn't reach, but set didn't have size, 3/16, so made due with just the socket...no mean tasks!...poked a pin in the nozzle, put things back together, filled the tank, and wala!...first pull...a week or so ago I tripped taking the cat litter to the trash on the drive...the mower sits parked under the sailboat, which is under a canopy, along with stuff, stuff with sharp edges...I was on the way down to a face plant 'midst the sharp edges, but reached and grabbed the mower's long handle, which tilted me sideways to an open place on the cement...took inventory after collecting my wits-no damage done!

#stradaeasel  Day One  1/1/2023

Notes: from facebook

#stradaeasel Day One 1/1/2023
Visited family in Bakersfield...train bus there, bus train back....on the way, needed to switch trains-one broke down...on way back, rockslide on I5-detour thru Tehachapi...on the last train leg, LA to Anaheim, fellow across from me was furiously drawing in his sketch book, between pulling snacks from his day pack...bit jealous, I hadn't eaten all day, and felt I was witnessing a young Hokusai 'mad to draw'! Happy New Year!...lol...Armand was in LA and posted pic of the bridge to facebook today too!

Remember the Panay/OTI/notes/12/12/37

 Notes:...from "my usual subjects" I could be doing a post, a riff, or could add to the Panay Project, today being 12/12...aaand, I've taken to my bunk...gotta cold...of late things have the annoyance of going sideways...like, I broke a tooth, piece of salami wedged it, and went about to have it pulled but told my bloodpressure too high...I have to get a dispensation from my doctor, heardsaid the dentists...but I canceled my doctor over quarrel with receptionist about reaching him about my eliquis pill jumping from fifty to five hundred dollars-nurses are like paywalls!...on another front, the IRS is wanting $44,000 dollars, notice came last month, due six days from now...error they say on gift form...niece is working on it...gifting a house problematic...but, readsaid, the IRS is noticing the rightwing pundits, and since I've been noticing the rightwing pundits, the Black Wing Dragons!lol...a new one to me in news, Germany rounding up the Reichberger...a wonder is if IRS would mess with me for messing with THAT subject, the subject of the Panay Project...I cant think it thru...just a moment ago, walking to the trash I tripped-that moment of bewilderment of an unexpected fall...and took to my bunk...no harm done...but, figuritively, I'm afraid to get out of bed...coming home, something happened at an intersection, this last weekend, and I drove into a coned off area...it was dark and rainy, poor visibility...told to pull over, and then berated on and on, and on...like a coach getting my goat...threat after threat...I guess the officer's hyperbolic shouts were genuine-the concern for evidence disturbed on the pavement, but I dunno, traffic stops nowadays have a fishing expedition aspect-a turn signal out morphs...in superstious times a sense of calculating menace was everywhere...the Chinese have eased up on theirs, the Iranians not so much, the Russians have dropped all pretense, and since America has engaged them openly, I dunno...Sargon's all seeing eye...sooo, here's a wonder, (I have a long post about "wonder") back in WW1, the stalemate began to be broken by German blitz tactic...and same time about, the Russian human wave attack was successful on Eastern front-this in 2016...the Russians attacked with a million men...this is all in the youtube vlogs...dont feed the trolls...anyway, those incidents suggest victory goes to a bumrush...Genghis Kahn...but why even point this out...the pundits on the newscasts can, and cant...it's drip drip drip with drones and sniping and a tank here or there...a thought is it may not be possible to stage a banzai,  what with satellites...I dunno...Step Frets...I was looking at Southwest Petroglyphs, need to post, and on different rocks,  noted cornstalks growing out of little steps, crowsteps, and a wonder is if planting corn, each stalk had a mound...oh,  I can check this with the phone...brb...welp, not much...oh, there's alot...mesoamercan agriculture was genius...even in a garden one molds a mound and plants a seed...

Light: Wave or Particle

Rainbow Confederate Flag

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_uBaBuarEM&t=3s

Note:  I've gone on and on about, here and there, about the X as a motif...representing the solstices...just eyeballing the Rainbow X, the angle looks to be near that 23 degrees the Solstice X makes...23 degrees is about the tilt of the Earth's axis, which is responsible for so much!...I have this thing for angles...beyond me, what all chemical bond angles are, but I've noted before the bond of the water molecule is near 108 degrees...two hydrodgin, one oxygen...looks like Mickey Mouse...and that's not my comparison!...Disney makes it...anyway, for weeks now when I start up the computer, I see this reflection in the screen from the lamp in the living room...I've gone on before about the Confederate Flag being an X...aaand, before about the Rainbow Flags of the Andeans-Rainbow Tocapu...these weren't political musings...just coincidence these musings line up with Confederate Flags and Rainbow Flags in the news!...but I thought to copyright the Rainbow X, and heareby do so!...copyright David L. Sharpness...I'll have to search up if the image and name are taken...lol...anyway anyway, when I went to take a pic of the reflection, the camera flash made another one!...go figure....in the browse today, I happened on Lookin Glass Universe post about light, how it is both a wave and a particle, and the vlog post must have something to do with the Rainbow X...a guess is the LCD screen is scattering light like a prism...but I dunno!...report after I do some lookabouts...

Another Note: I only have 22, now 23, blog posts for this year, 2022!...hmmph...but I just did Inktober and Stradaeasel posts to facebook, 61 ink drawings...one each day...but I didn't post any notes to them..still to do!...usually I double post the challenge posts, at facebook, and here...and use to link them, as the notes were in the blog, but facebook skotched linking the blog, sooo...aaaand, then there's the ongoing youtube comment drops...like above to Looking Glass....all kinds of things, much political news replies to vlogs, other comments...too much for hereabout...or anywhere really!...hundreds of those!...when I post to facebook, it will give my friends a headsup...that little bell icon opens to a list of new likes, or if I have posted...it's capricious...youtube does the same with comments...and is more reliable, sorta....you make a comment, and viewers might see it...most likely not...but if a viewer clicks 'like', my youtube bell tells me...or, if they reply!...and if you click like, and/or reply, a commentor is notified just so too!...to understand all this one has to have gone and done it...it can be daunting...bit like fishing, and one has to be very wary of catfishers...being on guard about web things is must!...and now, recently, I follow a couple sub stacks...substack as a platform seems to roll together facebook and google and youtube...with some twitter too...and if you subscribe to a substack, it shows up in your email box...I foresaw this with my zine, Oranges, way back on old GEnie...Amazon now has something like this too, one can self publish a periodical, garner subscribers...this to go along with their self publishing of books...and self publishing is the web now, and the lastest, facebook, 'reels', which is a copy of tik tok and such...my google browses are filling up with these short clickbait clips!...too too much....things is, I took hundreds of such video shorts of the Fauna of Yosemite...and of course the whole Tree in the Door blogs are full of them...a sometime has always been to fill out the Tree in the Doors...I have most everything saved on drives...out of sight out of mind like old photo albums...bags of snapshots too,,,taken just before the switch from celluloid to digital!...a what to do what to do with so many things to do!...time to feed Maya, my Dog, then watch Andor-new episode Wednesday...
