Yes Folks; I know it is summer and you wish to laze about – – – but!

I get it.

I really do.

I like summer also; good for walks, fishing, outdoor gatherings and such.

But what about those rainy, hazy, lazy days of summer?

YOU NEED A BOOK TO READ.

Now here is a novel (so to speak) idea. Read an E-book or the first few pages of an E-book for free.

Yes folks; I said “FREE.” (Well not the whole book is free just the first few pages) and you can do it on the device you are now reading this with.

Yes folks; I said “FREE”. These combinations of the 26 letters of the alphabet (which  I mix and match) and the 171,476 English words I currently use (not to mention the 47,156 obsolete words I also use)  may well cure your lumbago or that corn on your left foot. They have been know to cure inebriation and sometimes even bring it about.

Got the vapors? Try reading one of these. Cures hiccups, shortness of breath and removes that elephant sitting on your chest that the TV keeps talking about.

I know this is a crude attempt to get you to purchase my books; but for a lousy $3, $4 or $5 how can you go wrong?

So click on the following link. Then show your neighbors and amaze your friends.

Don’t let that bully at the beach kick sand in your face. Put a book in its place.

 

TRANSFERRING VIDEOS; PHONE TO COMPUTER

This, that, - - - and the other thing

Do you have a “not too smart” phone and have trouble sending those prized videos to your computer for safe keeping?

Here is a simple solution that most anyone can put to good use.

I will not belabor the issue because I believe the diagram speaks for itself (other bloggers often say that so that they will not have to explain something complicated; therefore, I believe that my use of that phrase speaks for itself).

But for starters, allow me to get you headed in the correct direction.
Simply turn on your phone and bring up the video you wish to use. Plug in the ‘Video Sink” and start the video. This sink will hold videos up to 1 minute (or 4 ounces depending on your preferred measuring method). For those in countries other than the USA it will hold up to .003 fortnights or 0.1 liter (again depending on…

IT IS 78 NOW

This, that, - - - and the other thing

 

No. That is not the temperature, nor the number of new shoots that the damn rabbit has eaten from my flower garden.

Nor is 78 to be thought of as a reference to musical records spun at 78 revolutions per minute – – – compared to LPs spun at 33 1⁄3 – – -and 45s spun at, of course, 45 rpm (interesting – – – 33 + 45 = 78). Nor is it meant to signify a typical tarot deck which contains 78 cards (21 trump cards, the Fool and the 56 suit cards), nor the total number of gifts in the song The Twelve Days of Christmas (78 is the 12th triangular number), and it has nothing to do with The Rule of 78s (which is a method of yearly interest calculation), however – – – and most importantly – – – it is not Municipal Okrug 78, the municipal…

SHAMLESS; Just shamless – – – if I do say so myself.

Yes, It is time for another shameless self promotion of one of my 18 books(soon to be 19 – – – just wait – – – you’ll see).

This one is the autobiography of a fictional character created by a dead author. If that is not enough I should be quick to add that he is also a plagiarist; not unlike the one who writes this.

The autobiography is guaranteed to contain nonsense; yet be, somewhat entertaining.

Thank you and may God have pity on your soul.

Go ahead, Click on the book cover for a sample reading.

I Got The Onics on the Taconic (New York State Route 987G) {an oldie but badie}

Tags

New York State Route 987G, The Taconic Parkway

 

Taconic Parkway on a Beautiful Winter Day

 

It appears quite demonic,

That parkway named Taconic,

Its hills sound so harmonic,

Bear Mountain can be Ionic,

Created by actions tectonic,

Before the dread bubonic,

But don’t get too laconic,

For it is very ironic,

That others are supersonic,

Their fuel – – – gin and tonic,

Driving while catatonic,

Self serving all-hedonic,

Brains very micronic,

Not so much platonic,

Their minds monophonic,

No turn signals telephonic,

Result in a crash, sardonic,

You are no longer pneumonic,

Pain appears to be chronic,

Hospital bills invertedly conic,

Lawyer voices synchronic,

Promises very symphonic,

Approaching diatonic,

Lung becoming bronchonic,

X-rays nicely photonic,

Doctors speaking mnemonic,

You desire weed hydroponic,

To abate muscles isotonic,

Cramping in the first harmonic,

Nurse applying acid propionic,

Keeping your legs fibronic,

Court case becomes ironic,

Defense says “He was Pharonic,”

“Self-imposing and histrionic,”

“Hogging the road Napolionic.”

I lost my suit, quite ironic,

My case being hegemonic,

My bank account now nucleonic,

And my logic all gnomonic.

A DEVINE TRAGEDY: 23. THE GREAT LEAP

Why did we abandon the concept of apprenticeship?

waldotomosky

Limbo: by Jan Mandijn

“Brothers and Sisters in learning, serve your masters well, for they freely yield their lives and secrets to you. This for nothing more than their wish to become eternal.”

Thus spoke Fred

 

Three years with three masters and a fourth year with many masters.

That is what Fred pledged himself to. And so he made the leap,

towards eternal creativity and the chasm was very wide.

His fingers grasped the palisade on the other side,

where he hung in pain for forty-eight moons.

Yea, oh yea, there were periods of joy,

and periods of discouragement.

Disciples, there were none;

although false ones,

appeared at times.

 

Creations of iron were the goals set for him by the masters.

Competency in enumeration and calculation was required.

Recognition and scribing of straightness, angularity and

curvature were abilities required. For these skills,

were the means of communications,

with…

ADIRONDACK IMAGES AND TALES; The Percy Bridge

waldotomosky

This bridge was not built in the Adirondacks. It only missed by one mile; as the crow flies. It is on the Chateaugay River north of Chateaugay, New York. A lot of workmen from the North Woods left the forest to work on this bridge.

A fellow by the name of Daniel McCallum designed it. McCallum was transplanted from Scotland as a young boy. He must have had a bright mind. They say he started out as a carpenter then a builder/architect. I was told that he became the superintendent of the New York Erie railroad before he designed the trusses used for this bridge.

The trusses were so strong that they started using them on railroad bridges. They had a fancy name which I can’t remember. Maybe we can look in my pile of papers later and find out.

The civil war started and they needed McCallum’s engineering skills…

CIRCULAR LOGIC

From the heights of the intelligentsia to the depths of absurd.

This, that, - - - and the other thing

1 Nov 2012

Things always have a reason for occurring. Sometimes they occur in pairs. Some things should never occur. That is what I describe here.

MEASUREMENTS AND UNITS OF VARIOUS THINGS

I just cannot understand how we came to use seconds, hours, degrees, radians and other strange units of measure.

ON DIRECTION

Who in the world can understand things like NNE or SSW?

On deeds they tell us strange things such as; “

Starting at the large Butternut Tree then proceeding 21 03^’ West thence proceeding – – -.”

In fact we know that the line proceeds in a general southerly direction; not some cock-a-mamey direction West.

If we started out at the Butternut Tree why can’t we just say “proceeding in a southerly direction until you reach the big grey rock that looks like an elephant with bunions?”

Or “proceeding in a general southerly until you find…
