counterculture???? now???? it has happened before.... in my generation what people most feared in ?1969? was ANOTHER "woodstock concert" where anyone from all over the 48 ( IT WAS THEN) states invited themselves to some dairy farmer's field in bethel new york. -- 400,000 people (was the official estimate) with 100,000 volkswagons plus , 20,000 old school busses 14 tons of MARIJUANA not much clothing, pouring rain AND NOT ONE PORTAPOTTIE...--- at least then it was peaceful.. so peaceful that most didn't even know it was raINING... IT WAS FROM THAT ERA THAT COUSIN ROBERTA STARTED WEST IN AN OLD CADDIE.. THE PART I FORGOT TO MENTION WAS.... SHE HAD GOT HERSELF A GOVERM\NMENT GRANT OF SOME KIND TOI MAKE A PHOTO HISTORY OF "THE COUNTERCULTURE." IT DOES GOOGLE. Across the Great Divide - Roberta Price AND SHE SPEAKS ABOUT THE PHOTOS.-- WHICH INCLUDE THE HUGE ROCK AND THE GREAT 8 SIDED HOUSE THEY BUILT AROUND IT.... HAVING PREVIOUSLY BUILT ONLY A BRICK AND BOARD BOOKCASE... INTERESTING./ -- NOW ON TH E TOPIC OF BUILDING.... 2021 3 2 I had a request to repeat this description ... so for anyone who is a child--- has a child ----or has a grandchild-- this is how you make at harness to turn their head into a Unicorn’S head .. OR ANY OTHER VARIETY OF THINGS. it's also how I used to set cropped ears to make great Dane HAVE perked up ears which I don't do anymore at any rate------ it all starts with a handful of the white wire coat hangers that men's shirts come on ---they're usually free for a handful of cleaners if you don't have a man short supply of them -----if you lie one on the desk and with strong wire cutter cut off the hook about an inch and two from the twisty part , then locate the center of the long pie ce and mark 2 1/2 inches on either side for Childs head--- then with your head hand holding the rest down bend the LEFT side vertical to the desk ---- now if you take it off the desk and bend the other half around your thigh---- you're half done so do it again with another coat hanger .. bending the right side vertical and the left side around your other thigh ..give it enough duct tape just wrap the whole thing together being careful to make sure the two cut edges are prevented from getting further apart I think you'll see what that's about .. the two parts you bent around your thigh obviously go around the child's head ---I use either short piece of cloth or preferably a gauze pad that's unwound into a log strip makes a very comfortable TIDED PIECE underneath the chin ... it is very possible to pad the wire head/chin part by wrapping cotton in elect tape... in colors... THIS IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE WITH THE BRASS COAT HANGERS WHICH ARRE MUCH TOO STRONG.. THE WHITE WIRE ONES ARE PERFECT. YOU WILL BE SURPRISED AT HOW STURDY AND COMFORTABLE THIS HARNESS IS... MAYBE WE SHOULD SEE IF. TI CAN BE REDESIGNED TO DEAL WITH COV 19 MASKS??????? NOW WOULD N’T THAT BE SOMETHING... HAVE AT IT.--------********* SEND THE ROYALITIES TO SDP !!! NOW WITH REGARD TO NOT BURNING TH E HOUSE DOWN... Rubbing two sticks together has to be the worst way to start a fire... the second worst way .. is newspapers and Cardboard and kindling ....but if you want to start it quick an eighth of a Cup of kerosene will do amazing things .. but you have to remember the absolutely critical part is that you may not throw the Karacene at the logs if there still is any kind of spark in there because Karacene is an oil and will very quietly burned as long as it's in one lump or puddle .. kerosene and diesel will explode if sprayed as in an engine .... and it will create a heck of a bang and scared the hell out of you if you do anything like toss it into a fire ..so I don't wanna do that ....I remember way back in the days of our kids circus .. I owned a piece of equipment for some horse or another which was basically a stainless steel huge syringe thing ---it didn't really have a needle at the other end just a big tube .. and I thought that would be perfect to deliver kerosene underneath logs for a fire .. and I couldn't remember the name of it .. so I had to call up my friend Brian who told me it's a dose syringe .. and now most of them come in plastic which wasn't going to work for me but I did Google it and they still do make them in stainless steel so I have bought 1 which hopefully will be safer then trying to pour or throw that throw is a bad bad word... kerosene because as it goes bang you pull your hand back and distribute of trail of kerosene which could lead back on your floor .. that whole thing is a bad deal 'dispense" is better. but not wanting to go back to the twisted newspaper this dose syringe should work perfectly keeping in mind I have a fire extinguisher right at my back when I do this .. For an update on the repair of our chimney .. the company has booked the first part of April because we need 48 degrees temperature and no rain in order to be able to reline our chimney ... ------ One of my favorite videos people have said me is of Bella and George coming down the stairs in the Science Museum and how carefully George is matching Bell's every move ..---well I have a second favorite video now of Josh going up and down his hallway with Daisy on one side and one crutch on the other and he is walking .. as in 1 foot after the other walking .. he turns around comes back and falls down and then kisses Daisy on the head .. he's walking it is so much more natural ..then two crotches or whatever ... and I just gotta email from his mother ... who said he's getting very courageous .. and seems to be following in the Hunter and Wendy mode of walking for real . ------ Good morning! I was again blown away by my boy and Daisy! He had a well check at his pediatricians office. Her office is on the third floor. On the way down, he decided to take the stairs all the way down. Daisy on one side railing on the other. Quick and easy. Who knew!?! He even took a couple stairs with a reciprocal gait. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen him do that. Thanks to everyone at SDP, these two are going to be unstoppable! Jen |
