Cracker: Spotted, in reply to JacksonP,
a new perspective...
As a former picture framer, it’s
not art unless you can frame it.
I love unframed canvases.
But I couldn’t eat a whole one.Dunno why but this conjures up
thoughts of picture farmers...a brush with life
a hoedown still
rich soil paintings
laid on with a trowel
colour watered rows
dry point gravenor is that just too
gouache for words? -
Present and real...
Watch YU55 fly by live at SLOOH or live from Keck Observatory in about 40 minutes (it's 2.18pm now)...
I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the PACWAV 11 tsunami exercise is on tomorrow as is the FCC's Emergency Broadcast test which will usurp control of all US media...

The Universe, is it really big?.
6 walls, no corners...
no up, no down
just all around
stray from the light
a bang in the night
no place for mortals
windows or portals
comical chemistry
fielding mysteries
...words waiting coiners -
Hard News: Presentation and Reality, in reply to Tom Semmens,
Trouble clef... over the Middle C at the Gee-Gees
I have never seen anything like the current cult of Key
in any modern democracy anywhere.Here is our own Berlusconi amongst his betters at the
Christchurch Cup Day yesterday :"You've got a wife!" one of the men at the races reminded National leader John Key as he disappeared under yet another flutter of fascinators.
"I know," Mr Key called back. "And I can't afford a divorce."...
In general, the men had no show. They couldn't get through the women.
"I'm next with Justin Bieber," one said as she waited her turn for a photo....
Afterwards Mr Key laughed when it was pointed out he was quite a hit with the women. He may have even looked a little smug, despite his protestations that Phil Goff was wrong to describe him as such.
"That's nice. Right-wing parties don't normally do so well with females so it's good we're holding our own." -

Et tu Brute...
Friends, Remuerans and Countrymen lend me your arse...Yeah, strange Rodney doesn’t come up, him threatening
Hamilton Council and all and being Minister for Local Govt.Though I am hoping he will lay the law down, on the same grounds,
to The Chchch City Council as well, when he says Hamilton:"Should progress in addressing Audit NZ's recommendations be insufficient, the Government will look at a review process that could lead to the appointment of commissioners.
It is crucial for local democracy that ratepayers have confidence in their councils. For that to happen, councils must have the right governance structures and delegations. Councils must maintain transparent and robust decision-making processes and act in accordance with the Local Government Act 2002 and other laws."Especially as Tony Marryatt (seemingly Redman's Svengali) and other powers at the CCC seem to want to continue doing things behind closed doors and they now want to raise unapproved discretionary spending from $500,000 to $5 million!!
Hamilton's V8 (and Caudelands) fiascos should be a salutary lesson in not letting this happen - if Hide could rein that in before shuffling off the political stage he might redeem himself somewhat - but with only 18 days to go it seems unlikely. -

Minority rapport...
Stuff does precognition, Key-edging-toward-symbolic-ACT-cuppa
Ahah! So that's what ACT is an acronym for - A Cuppa Tea...
Beige stirrers laced with dangerous sweeteners that sit in saucers!Love that photo, with the linked article, of Key
wrestling with Rodney Hide!
