    i woke up early today ... i drank coffee last night late and couldnt sleep and took stillnox... ugh what a hideous drug !

    anyway today i was inspired to write a story based on a post i made ... i hope you enjoy it ( its in basic script form )

    Fly Spy " Thomas' experience on board the mother ship " V2

    Imagine you lived on a plane where there were virtually no frontiers. Not much to achieve, you can do or go anywhere you like and for the last 200000 years you explored every corner of the galaxy and appreciated its every nuance. So, now what?

    flash back }

    " when i woke i was disorientated ... the sun was really bright , i think my shoulder was dislocated ... i felt like a balmain reserve forward coming home from a night on the turps in 1974 ... but with my memory in tact ( flashes of him abducted on a space ship ) ... now all i have to do is find out how to get home .. "

    Camera *
    Pulls back .. he is on a montain top somewhere .. sitting on the ground ..

    ( Music , Opening title 8 bit remix of eneter the dragon https://youtube.com/watch?v=EsHNIuyXGRM

    ( SCENE OPEN MAN SITTING ON SHRINKS CHAIR )

    DOCTOR DAN 33 : "So thomas , tell me again about how you broke free of the " mind zoomer "

    Thom : "Well its hard to explain .. i called it a mind zoomer because it made my head feel like it was really big .. like it was stuffed with cotton wool ... they left me alone for what seemed to be a minute and so i looked around .. there was a machine to my left with a dash board.. and my leg was free ... i managed to push a button and something happened .. next thing i know i was on the floor .. there was gas everywhere like this sweet smell... then i got up and ran !

    i found a small storage room but it was like an air vent .. and in there i could hear a conversation between i think 2 or 3 of my captors... "

    DOC : the little green men ? ...

    Thom : Yeah Dan !

    DOC : ... ah ok , so what happened next ...

    Thom : Well ... there was a lot going on but it seems after inhaling that gas i could understand their language .. before i couldnt .. they had a weird language ..

    DOC : so they didnt speak english ?

    Thom : No , it was like a weird tweety noise , kinda like " Nntiiiww Ee tut tut nnndwwet "

    DOC : ( repeats it exactly ) Nntiiiww Ee tut tut nnndwwet ?

    Thom : yeah ... ( confused look )

    DOC : interesting , please continue ..

    Thom : well i over heard their conversationn , it was about them observing us and making a report ..

    { DREAM SEQUENCE BACK TO THE SHIP .. Him over hearing this dialogue .. and camera looks on his face for his reactions .. }

    { the Dialogue he over hears is between two aliens }

    Hey greg im bored, what do you wanna do?

    i dunno ... the last human we captured is loose in the ship somewhere ..

    broke free ? why ? we are just trying to remove a tumour from his brain ..

    Yeah ... he somehow turned on the brain gas and worked out the stun table ..

    But we want to fix him !

    Burt , humans have this thing they call " consent " they want you to qualify and ask permission before going ahead and fixing them..

    Permission ?! why ? do they know the process and perhaps can advise a better method ?

    No ..

    So why the permission ?

    They think they know better ..

    { Burt and Greg look at each other }

    Bahahahaha ! they cant even fly ! bahahaha and baha they want to advise us on neurosurgery ! aaahhaaaa !

    I know isnt it crazzy !

    Humans are strange indeed ! Silly 2 eyed land lovers ! hababahaa

    { they compose themselves after laughing so hard ...}

    hmmm ..... so .. hows the kids ?

    Eh, ricky still wants to be an nuclear physisist ...

    oh really ? but thats pretty old school

    yeah ... hes part of that new " Back to old Skoul " movement

    sorry to hear it .. kids these day huh ?

    yeah ..

    Hey i know something that will cheer you up ! Lets fly to Uranus !

    uranus? Nah did that last week. . .

    Ah, thats right , yeah ...

    { they look around and press a few buttons , greg fidgets with his wrist watch }

    Hey! I got an idea! Lets terraform that old planet we found in the Tau Ceti 6 ! and put some new species on it and watch them evolve over the next 10000 years! We can see what they get up to!

    OHHHH ! Great idea bert! And we can use that old moon we left out the back as an observation station!

    Yeah! !! can we make the women reeeealy beautiful this time ?

    Sure can! Jhonno!

    Aaaaaw cool ok ill get the old gubbledunker gun and start making some gas!

    { VOICE OVER DIALOGUE OUT LOUD } The aliens hear this and wonder where its coming from ...

    " And so it goes. imagine if we had nothing to achieve as a species, how would we cope? we would get bored { aliens agree with a sigh } and need a distraction "

    { Thom menawhile falls asleep , tired from his ordeal and wakes a while later ... he listens in ... }

    Hey Greg , do you have that report on the humans from planet 3 Sol Earth ?

    Oh my Gods ! Burt ! you have to hear this ...

    Humans are strange creatures, a lot of the time their actions make no sense. And they crave this thing called money !

    Money ? whats that ?

    Well its a piece of paper !

    A piece of paper ?

    Yes with drawings on it ...

    carry on ( strange look on his face )

    Well they need these pieces of paper to survive .. they work hard all week to get this paper which is cut into small segments and has printing on it of various denominations and with this they barter for supplies and get this ! they have to barter for shelter !!! . They spend their whole life earning these pieces of paper and then this thing they have called a government takes most of it and then spend it on making weapons to kill one another !!!

    Wow! You serious burt? That makes noooo sense ! are you sure ? we did re locate several groups that did that .. you mean we missed some ?

    Yeah it seems we did, i saw it with my own 3 eyes i swear! And wait for it, they use this thing called " gasoline " to propell their travel craft which can go really quickly but not leave the ground! Bahahah

    What they cant fly?

    Not really ( cheesy grin )

    Bahahahah

    Hang on! why dont they use the elecromagnetic energy we put on there for them? Its free and there is no need to process it.

    Well get this burt, they can but they choose not to. They prefer the gasoline instead! Bahahahaha

    Huh! Wow now thats stange! Why ?

    Because of the smell !

    the smell ?

    yeah ! baaahahaa !!

    What about the food?

    Oh wow now this is actually cool, they make this stuff called " ice cream " ( imagine a little alien doing inverted commas in the air ) and man it tastes awesome! But if you eat too much it makes you sick and has no nutritional value.

    What! No nutrition but it tastes awesome?

    Yeah!

    Whats your favorite flavour burt ?

    Id have to say maple tree hugger by a company called " ben and jerrys "

    Hmmm sounds very nice indeed , what else did you discover ?

    Well it seems there are two sepperate sexes ... with different genitalia ! ( reverse angle shot of greg bemused )
    and in order to re porduce the male has to loure the female into his nesting place and give her many gifts of crystals , food and this thing they call Alcahol !

    Alcahol , whats that do ?

    Well apparently it makes the female less violent and more suseptable to influence !

    Hmmm , then what ?

    Well sometimes it goes well and other times not so well .. if the sequence prepared by the male is to the females liking then they can mate. But ! get this .. if the male fertilises the female he then has to get a qualification called " Marriage Certificate " ?!

    a certificate ? to do what ?

    I dont know its some sort of contract ..

    What happens if they break the contract ?

    Well the man has to hand over most of his posessions including his nest !

    WHAT ! are you for real ?

    Yeah its happening all the time !

    Hmmm wowo we waaa...

    Did you just quote Borakt ?

    Yeah ! the human version hahaha !

    Thats hillarious !

    hahahah

    { MEANWHILE .... }

    Thom moves to get comfortable and pushes a metal bar which falls and makes a loud noise .. all three stop having heard the noise ..

    Greg : it would seem we are not alone Burt !

    Yes Greg , lets go find him... im kinda hungry ( smiles and rubs badly made rubber hands together )

    thunder clap } Lighting change }

    they both start to laugh uncontrollably

    MWAHAHH mwaaahahahahah !

    END SHOT tHOMS FACE IN ABSOLUTE FEAR !!!!

    Has anyone else been able to access rt.com the Russian News site? I've noticed that google and every other search engine, browser, etc says the site doesn't exist. I'm sure its being blocked for some reason. However certain people in the U.S. can still access it, and some can't. I wonder if this is just spread out (so people will just think its an isolated/user issue and not something they're blocking etc)
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    Driving home in the desert on a dark road and moonless night. I saw 2 ambient red-amber glowing lights in the shape of a smooth oval, double pyramidal tetrahedrons flying low in a tight parallel slightly perpendicular formation. They were flying in the direction NNW -east of me. Then they both disappeared no warning, poof out the ether. I was heading south about due east of 29 palms and Black Mountain. Going to be a late night.

    ...I'm looking forward to hearing more about this...
    and to see those rare double pyramidal tetrahedron ships...
    any follow up dreams? That would be cool.
    Here's a Gilchrist.... the below painting exaggerates the crafts shapes (the sides and tops of them were more oval & much cruder) that I saw flying and hovering last night. The center of the crafts are close (dimensionally) to the center depicted in the painting.

    Ulli, I haven't had any post dreams yet but will write about them if I do. Preceding last night's event, for the last 3 days I have had some odd dreams and a strange interaction with grasshoppers.

    The dreams consisted of many different types of people speaking mostly ancient languages and some of them communicating telepathically; arguing or at least not being able to agree on the timing of an event. We were all in what looked like an underground cavern with lots of water and waterfalls and a bright blue & white light shining in from a cross the water to which I could not figure out or see its' source. This is all I remember of the dream right now.

    The dreams went on for 3 nights and I couldn't get any real sleep; mostly in the in-between state of sleep and awoke each morning exhausted like I had been working all night.

    Last night, before leaving I had an odd experience with grasshoppers. I was packing everything into the truck and suddenly grasshoppers came buzzing, chirping and flying out from nowhere. Jumping on everything around me -the ground, truck and quite loudly too. They came in chaotic droves and were all over everything. I thought this is weird they are diurnal mostly and strange for them to be out at night. Their mating season doesn't start for another couple of months yet -maybe their behavior was due to the area receiving a lot of rain recently. I felt creepy seeing them out at night and so many of them flying about with out any kind of formation.

    I drove as fast as I could, while navigating winding roads. Also, I kept hearing an unnatural humming noise which disappeared when the crafts disappeared. It took me 7 hours to drive home -a short drive that takes usually 5 hours. After I saw the crafts I stopped at the nearest restaurant for an hour, drank a lot of water and wrote the above craft post from my cell phone, while the event was still fresh. Then from the parking lot and home I lost an hour and at one point it seemed and felt like I was driving on an entirely different road than on the one I was driving.
    Good to be back home.


    Love

    So you lost time. Hmm....but you did stop for an hour as well.
    Let's just hope that whatever happened to you was for your own good.

    I mowed today and thoroughly enjoyed myself Must be the difference in temperature. Chilly today. Here is my partially cleaned up space:

    This is the side fence line, front yard.


    Front yard:


    And the rest of the front yard:


    Here is part of the backyard, I hate that fence. It separates the back yard from the back yard, lol:


    And here is one of my current projects. This used to be full green, and it was beautiful. But now it gives access to the back from the front


    Here and now, I'm tired. Good tired.

    Much Love,
    Life is a road we don't travel alone. But everyone's on their own journey home.

    Nora, so glad to see you home.

    Is everybody in Massachusetts and area okay?
    Quite an adventure, Nora. Could the grasshoppers have been beginning to go locust? Wonder if the red light could have triggered their behavior?

    Just glad you are home and safe.


    Marianne, the quake was located near Portland, ME...just felt the side to side shaking for about 15 seconds or so, enough to rattle dishes, but no damage. Didn't bother my dogs at all...one lifted his head, looked around and went back to sleep.

    iirc, the last one occurred about 30 years ago...completely different feel to it. We have lots and lots of very tiny quakes...I'm rather sensitive to it...but rarely dish-rattlers.

    The first thing I think of when I see that sort of lawn is: who gets to mow them? (or rather, the horror of doing it. Over and over again.)

    Exactly why I bitch about it so much The dread leads to flat tires on the mower. At least I have figured that out. It's a real pain in the arse. However, I would choose this pain in the arse over city life any day of the week. I remember when I first found the village and felt, physically and emotionally, like I was suffocating. Moved out here, and look at all that has transpired for me...wings...my angel...obi wan...the big group of angels...and so many moments, so much growth and expansion. There is no comparison.

    The yard only looks this good because I learned how to use the chainsaw, lol. Today I thought I broke it. To my surprise, or really shock, I fixed it.

    I will note one weird development with mowing, though. This has never, ever happened. My feet and legs were tingling and vibrating for hours after I mowed today.

    And, of course, Rocky, you can hang your hammock on any two trees you like! There are many to choose from...part of the dread of mowing is getting around them. The piles are newly trimmed branches. Now I can get around without whacking my face every few minutes. Yes, it really did happen.

    Much Love

    A lawn without goats is like a forest without birds.

    Ecological perfection. A yardful of goats. I'll milk them if I get to keep the milk to make soap.

    Okay, the first thing I think when I see this, is I wonder if goat sh*t stinks as bad as dog sh*t? Hahahaha...I like it here because the dogs poo across the street in a field...
