My Dragon Fly and Me
If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!
By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone
On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...
And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...
Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

That color is a lot of maples and birches and the venue is Vermont. If you don't get a photo, it's all gone too soon.

Oh, just mostly
Post #107 above, probable new job in Taiwan starting Thursday, but the only flight I could get puts me there a day late, hopefully they won't be angry.
They've been really cool so far, offering to pick me up at the airport even, so I don't think they'll really care about the delay. Other than that, same old same old.

He was clearly a Kerry voter.
OH my gosh, ROTFLOL!
I can sure understand your anger-it would fluff my feathers as well. I think it's the attitude they project (for me anyway) the deliberate body actions and facial contortions that would really make me want to slap them into the middle of next week. And that's what they want!
It's not worth wasting your positive energy on that sort of lowlife.
Ya done good!
Those attention seekers usually get what they're after and it is not always what they had in mind. ;)
I bet that jerk doesn't have a quiet place in his life.

Post 107, that's what we've heard about Japan and China and Australia, among others, are pretty ticked off.
I was hoping his test would cause a quake that would level North Korea only.
Stay well and good luck on your new job.

I lived many years in a rural area and the scenery was very much like the picture you posted. Breath taking!
To: bentfeather
Thought for the day...
in "The Taming of the Shrew," William Shakespeare
wrote, "Do as adversaries do in law. Strive
mightily, but eat and drink as friends."
This is Monday, Oct. 9, the 282nd day of 2006 with 83 to follow. The moon is waning. The morning stars are Venus and Saturn. The evening stars are Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Mars and Pluto.

When you drive around the backroads of New England in fall, there are often breathtaking views around the next corner.

I have a bunch of pictures of Fall foliage, I should scan them to post.
To: bentfeather
Fall moves so quickly, It is good to have photos to remember it by. I'd love to see your photos.

Thank you. You put your finger right on it, and now I can feel sorry for him. Yes, he must be miserable all the time, otherwise he wouldn't have the capacity to just create it on the fly like that.
Yes I was drinking wine and posting all day long (not that I was drunk, now that I switched to only drinking wine I found it keeps my head clear, so I never drink to intoxication) but I was winding down after many satisfying cups and six or seven hours of satisfying FR conversation (that's all I did today). And I'm sure I was absolutely broadcasting vibes of happiness and satisfaction so strongly that a miserable person would react as negatively as we would react to a negative!
Some guys have true Thai girl friends here, but many are with just garden variety prostitutes, and his was pretty obviously a rent girl. You know, now I suddenly feel really bad for him, he was talking to his family on the Internet, but didn't sound real convincing. I was totally trying to not hear him, but he was talking to a kid in a voice like he's not used to talking to kids, sounded wooden. Then he asked a strange question, he said "So, how's your new teacher....do you still like her?". I thought that was a weird thing to ask a kid about a teacher who's just new, like he was trying to bust up any relationship that got within his grasp.
I'll bet no one loves him (and can we blame them!?) and he was talking to his divorce kids, and he's with a woman who only wants money from him, and otherwise despises him for what she has to do for the money.
Then I walk by oozing joy and happiness, good wine, good friends and conversation on the Internet, new job and some money in the bank that I earned this last year too. He must have felt a stab of agony, probably thinks God hates him (of course God doesn't hate!). Well if I see him around the tourist area before I go I'll give him a friendly smile. Thanks bentfeather, you hit the philosophical spot!

Thanks, and regarding North Korea, that event kind of shifts China's focus far from Taiwan, so Taiwan should be peaceful, peaceful! I'm anticipating an uneventful, but rewarding existence there!

Never give them what they want!!
Well, I am off to the grocery store. Take care!
See ya around the bend in the road.

Well, it's midnight so I guess I should go hit the sack. Maybe on the way home I'll look for my pony tailed buddy and give him a Gideon's Bible or something inspiring like that.
N'ite all! ;-)

Nite, sleep well and dream of the farm and retirement.
To: starbase
True! I didn't think of China & Taiwan.
Best of luck and great fortune to Starbase Freeper!

I have been reading and rereading that young soldier's poem and finding echoes I know so well. It is what real poetry is about, and I thank you for putting it here for me to find!

To: starbase
You have found the rude dude to be worthy of reconsideration from your first viewpoint. That is the mark of maturity so many today miss altogether. Glad to hear your heading back to some center of employment, looking forward to more of your posts! Your travel log has been a great source of fun, as has your comments with the pictures. You ever thought of doing a 'travel' book for the person who wants to really see the world about them?

You're welcome, I thought it would mean a lot to someone here.
