Lost views… July 13, 2025 Post #1071

Today’s news was a fire at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon… which destroyed the lodge there (built in the 1930’s). It struck me that what I saw when I was there is gone and will never be the same. Even places that are set aside to visit and take in the natural wonders can vanish in a moments notice. The rest of 2025 the North Rim of the Grand Canyon will be closed… I can at least go through my pictures and memories. Just a reminder that we should take in the wonder’s of the world and just celebrate what is for just being part of this place we call earth.

Easily amused…

I saw a series of posters… it sets out to evoke the 1950’s by showing images of James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart and Elvis Presley interacting in various setting. This is nice except I kept looking at one poster that depicts the group at Rick’s from Casablanca. A movie made in 1942 (Marilyn would have been 15, James Dean 11 and Elvis 7). In the background is a 1958 Cadillac (which when it was made Dean & Bogart were both dead). Not that this means anything at all… but this is how my mind works

Getting to the type… Post #994

Sometimes I have to recall that the primary reason to type and post is just for the fun of it. Not to give profound thoughts. Not to pass on wisdom. Not to become deluded by my own image of the greatness of my verbiage. Just to enjoy pressing keys and seeing words on paper is enough. When I recall this simple fact… words rush to page… without being blocked by thoughts of “why… what…” etc.

The report is the elephant seen by the blind…

I will clearly express the view that spending 5 days to read the Mueller report was a waste of time. It was that the actual report was not what people claimed it was or was going to be. It seemed to be the elephant as describe by “blind people”. It is a report that will not change one view of events… it is a report that will alter your perception of what goes on behind the curtain. No one seems happy with the conclusions… but that is often the case when one seeks to find truth and not just support for one’s perception. Why do we not find common ground that bonds us instead of pits us against each other!

Looking for the line…

There seems to be a movement where actions of youth carry over without any mediation for growing older, becoming mature, reflection, reform and wisdom. This type of thinking rewards those best able to hide their actions or change history to reflect a life that is more acceptable than being less than perfect.

There are actions that one does not recover from… some never grow old. Some never try. I just wonder how at what point due we reject “growth” and “reform” as possible?
